Why do bad things happen all the time to good people?
My mother got fired from her job of what, 15 years? One of my good friends got evicted from her apartment where she was living with herself and her two kids (and getting a whopping $125 a month in child support from her ex who makes bank, but claims to be unemployed). And many more examples available......as "some" would say - Karma - but I disagree. These are good people living in a world that just isn't fair at times.
We hope to be hearing something about the settlement in the next month or so.....so, hoping I can help out at least these two people if not more. I just don't understand it.
Julia is a bit sick this week - very grumpy, runny nose, tired, etc.....Hopefully she will be feeling better by saturday for the tournament. Lots of giving people have donated, and, if the weather holds up, it should be a success. Have to keep looking on the bright side! Haha!
Got some great pics of Jack and Julia, Shawn and I this last weekend. Can't wait to get some framed for our house! The photo session was a little like "herding cats", but we got it done!
Take care everyone! Hope to have some good news soon! And we may have three more roomates soon - just want to help out a good friend and her two kids!

Julia's Story
- Julia
- Colorado
- Julia was born a healthy baby on 12-28-05. She was a delight to her family. On January 5th,2007, 1 week past her 1st b-day, our family's lives changed forever. Julia had been seizing most of the night, was transported to the nearest ER for stabilization, and then airlifted to Miami Children's hospital, where she stayed in PICU and the neurology ward for nearly one month. Her diagnosis? Encephalitis (inflammation of her brain) most likely attributed to the MMR-V (measles, mumps, reubella, chicken pox) vaccine she had received nine days previously. When Julia left the hospital, she was functioning at an 8 week level. She is globally delayed, nonverbal and has significant left sided hemiplegia along with severe behavior issues. It has been over 4 years since her MMR-V encephalitis, and Julia has progressed, but has a very long way to go. Julia's case with the Vaccine Court was recently conceded and the settlement is complete. I am thankful for the government's concession. Julia lives with her brother, Jack who is 8 and her mom, Susan, and Mr. Shawn. Julia and her family are hanging in there and hope you enjoy her blog! Go Julia!
