My Take on the "Snow White & The Huntsman" Movie

It was a good movie that I really enjoyed, except I couldn't help but notice one thing...Now we all know the "Snow White" story, we all know how it goes so it's not like I'm going all Spoiler Alert!! So when she "dies" and gets brought back to life, it wasn't a big shock or anything, because it's based on the Fairytale...That wasn't the part that I was like "WTH" about. No the part that I was in awe about was the fact that yes I admit it I watch the "Twilight" movies, (quit judging Me, like ya'll ain't secretly watching them too) so after watching them this was the 6th movie that I watched that showed Kristen Stewart being really weird the whole way through, leading up to the part where she "died" overly dramatic, and then "woke up" all "oh look at me I wake up with perfect hair and skin"...Look up a Picture of her from that movie. Seriously, Right Now. I’ll wait for you…(Enough “Google” time has passed)

See what I mean?? Who has hair like that, when their knocking on Heaven's Door? I mean Seriously? Come on!! It's just not right, and I call foul!! Other than that fact that is a big ole Obvious it was a good movie...Can't really go wrong with the eldest of the Hemsworth brothers. Really? What did their Momma do when she was all prego to make them Boys turn out to look the way they do? I bet their Daddy is one fine man, cause them Guys are Gorgeous! For those of you that don’t know who He is…“Google” Again My Friends! I’ll wait! (Waiting…)

Told you He was Gorgeous!! Just saying! Just putting it out there!! Anyhoos...Let Me give you a Description of the Movie if You haven't already watched it(Thanks to Wiki of course, aka My GoTo). Snow White and the Huntsman is a 2012 UK-American fantasy film based on the German fairy tale "Snow White" compiled by the Brothers Grimm. The film is directed by Rupert Sanders and written by Evan Daugherty, John Lee Hancock, and Hossein Amini. The cast includes Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, and Bob Hoskins (in his final role before retiring from acting). The film received two Oscar nominations for Best Visual Effects and Best Costume Design at the 85th Academy Awards.

Spoiler Alert!! (Not really we all know the “Snow White” Fairytale) Snow White is the Princess of Tabor and daughter of King Magnus and Queen Eleanor. After his wife's death, King Magnus marries the beautiful Ravenna after rescuing her from the Dark Army, an invading force of glass soldiers. Ravenna, who is in fact a powerful sorceress and the Dark Army's master, kills Magnus on their wedding night after noting that men like him exploit the beauty of women and discard them. As Ravenna usurps control of the entire kingdom, Duke Hammond escapes the castle with his son William, but is unable to rescue Snow White, who is captured by Ravenna's brother Finn. Snow White is then locked away in the north tower of the castle. Tabor is ruined under Ravenna's rule as she periodically drains the youth from the kingdom's young women in order to maintain a spell once cast by her mother which allows her to keep her beauty. When Snow White comes of age, Ravenna learns from her Magic Mirror that Snow White is destined to destroy her unless Ravenna consumes the young girl's heart, which will make her immortal. Ravenna orders Finn to bring her Snow White, but she escapes into the Dark Forest, where Ravenna has no power. Eric the Huntsman, a widower who has survived the Dark Forest, is brought to Ravenna, who orders him to lead Finn in pursuit of Snow White. He belligerently refuses because he doesn't think he can survive in the dark forest. She then threatens to kill him and finally persuades him when she promises to revive his deceased wife, Sarah. The Huntsman tracks down Snow White in the Dark Forest but refuses to hand her over to Finn until he knows Ravenna will keep her word. When Finn says that Ravenna cannot resurrect the dead and that Eric is a fool, the Huntsman fights Finn and his men while Snow White runs away. Later Eric catches up to her and Snow White promises him gold if he will escort her to Duke Hammond's castle. Finn gathers another band of men to find Snow White. Duke Hammond learns that Snow White is alive and has fled into the Dark Forest. William, Snow White's childhood friend, argues with his father and then leaves the castle to find Snow White. Later he joins Finn's band as a bowman in order to find her. Eric and Snow White leave the Dark Forest, and encounter a huge troll. Eric tells Snow White to run while he attacks the troll which quickly knocks him out. Snow White has not run away and saves them by charming the troll. They then encounter a group of women in boats who take them to a fishing village populated by women who have disfigured themselves in order to escape Ravenna. While there, Eric learns Snow White's true identity. He then leaves her in the care of the women but returns when he sees the village being burned down by Finn's men. Snow White and the Huntsman evade them and eventually meet a band of eight dwarves (Beith, Muir, Quert, Coll, Duir, Gort, Nion, and Gus). A blind Muir perceives that Snow White is the daughter of the former king, and the only person who can defeat Ravenna and end her reign. As they travel through a fairy sanctuary, the group is attacked by Finn and his men. The Huntsman battles Finn and kills him after Finn taunts him with details of his murder of Eric's wife. William reveals himself and helps defeat Finn's men while Gus is killed. William joins the group which continues the journey to Hammond's castle. Ravenna disguises herself as William and tempts Snow White into eating a poisoned apple, but is forced to flee when the Huntsman and William discover her. William kisses Snow White — whom he believes to be dead — without seeing that she has shed a solitary tear. She is taken to Hammond's castle. As she lies in repose, the Huntsman professes his regret for not saving Snow White, who reminds him of his wife, and kisses her, breaking the spell; she awakens after a second tear has fallen. Snow White walks into the courtyard and gives a passionate speech to the Duke and his forces. She takes leadership of the Duke's army and the Army travels to battle Ravenna. The dwarves infiltrate Tabor through the sewers and open the gates, which allows the Duke's army to invade the castle. Snow White confronts Ravenna, but is overpowered. Ravenna is about to kill Snow White and consume her heart when she uses one of the moves Eric taught her on Ravenna and kills her, telling her that she cannot have her heart. Duke Hammond's army is victorious. The kingdom is once again in order and peace as Snow White is crowned Queen.

And that is what I think about the Movie, and some things ya'll might want to know about it. I don't know why I feel the need to "Review" Movies, TV Shows, Books, or Anything Else for that matter, like it's my job or something, but I really like to and since I can I shall.

Which one was funnier?!

I watched these Two Shows (at different times of course), and I COULDN'T decide which one I thought was Funnier!! So, I thought I would Share with the World so they could all laugh too. Now in Order for You to really understand the Humor in these two things you have to set the scene and really picture it. I have set the scenes as best as I can, but you will just have to use your imagination as well. Thank you.

New Girl:

Schmidt wants a "Californian Lionfish" but they are illegal to own, and he's going through a bad breakup, so he's got some issues right now. Since he can't have the "Lionfish" Winston brings him a "Clownfish" (like Nemo), and Schmidt's reply to that was:

"I dont want some janky ass freshwater bitch fish, I want my pretty fish!!"

The look on Winston's face was hilarious!!!

My Name is Earl:

Earl and Randy are watching a little boy, who everybody besides Earl is convinced is evil/knows "voodoo" magic. Earl and Randy take the Boy to Joy's house for the Earl and Joy's kid's Birthday Party. Joy starts talking to the boy to try to put a little "fear" into him, so everybody will quit being so creeped out. The Boy then turns to Joy and says something in Spanish, that Joy is convinced is a "voodoo" curse, that will make her lose her hair. She doesn't handle it so well. The Short Conversation between her and Earl went like this:

(in a Southern/Twangy Accent..Like Mine)

Joy: "Get that kid outta here he's evil!!"
Earl: "Calm down he's just a little kid"
Joy: "Uh huh, so was The Omen, The Exorcist, and all them little Children in the Corn!!"

Gotta Love Crazy Hillbillies!!

See why they were Funny as Everything to Me!! Hope Somebody Else Shares My Sense of Humor!!

I am too damn old for this.

I Am Far Too Old For Acne! I AM Not A Teenager Anymore! I Didn’t Even Have Acne As A Teenager!! I Call Bullshit!! But You Know, Nothing I Can Do To Change IT. Why My Hormones Have Decided To Go All WACKADOO!! Is Beyond Me!

Just thought that I would share my experience from when I tried to “Clear Up my Acne with ACV” with the world.

However, to really appreciate the story you must first realize that my skin has been breaking out very bad. Why? I have no clue I guess it’s just the Universe's way of saying "Ha-ha we do what we want". I have tried every over the counter acne product that they make (including Proactiv, and it sucked butt), but I digress. After all these products have failed me I decided to start trying "homemade" remedies. Inigo gave me a recipe for a homemade concoction that worked for a long while but as fate would have it eventually slowed down its working process. So it was brought to my attention that Apple Cider Vinegar was good for skin, acne, among many other things, also I talked to Inigo about it, so I decided to give it a try.

Well that was where it all went to Hades...

I was so very tired one night but I said to myself "Katie, you gotta wash your face in that stuff, get up or you’ll never get your skin cleared up". So I got up, went to the bathroom and proceeded to wash my face with the ACV. Well somewhere between getting up, and washing my face I had forgotten that Inigo had told me to dilute the ACV. So what did I do? That’s right people I proceeded to slap straight ACV all over my face resulting in immediate coughing, sneezing, watery eyes, cussing, the instant feeling that a dragon had breathed fire into my face, and god awful odor. Also, from the initial pain the ACV got away from me and rolled into my eyes and mouth, and let me just tell you people if you’ve never had a mouthful or an eyeful of ACV in your lifetime, then don’t because it’s NOT AT ALL PLEASANT!!

And if all of that wasn’t good enough I then emerged from the bathroom half-blinded, still in searing pain looking for help, and what did my wonderful loving family do? Help? No let me tell you how this went down:
They proceeded to hide and say "No get away you smell like Vinegar"!! They’re such Loving People!!

The point of this story that I’m sharing is if your using ACV, REMEMBER to Dilute it, NEVER run to your family for help if covered in vinegar, and I SHOULD REALLY THINK certain things through a little more.

Once again reminded of age.... thanks Class of 2008.

Today I received an invitation (via Facebook), from a couple of girls that have decided to throw my graduating class and I, a 5 year High School Reunion. I am very aware of how long that I have been out of Highschool, I remember when I graduated (I was there you know). Being reminded of this fact does not bring back "happy" memories, nor does it make Me reminisce of my so-called "glory days".  No, instead it makes me think "Haha Hussies I still fit in my old earrings from Highschool". Not really, but trying to have a sense of Humor about the situation makes Me not want to commit utter "Harry Carry" (if you know what I mean). Please see below for how the invitation was written, and see if you would have been mildly offended. 

**My Invite To 5 Year Reunion: "You guys, we graduated five years ago. That means we graduated BEFORE: 

  • Obama was elected, the first time. 
  • We ever heard of "swine flu" 
  • Michael Jackson died. 
  • Twilight... 
  • The economy tanked. 
  • Obama was re-elected. *
  • Verizon got the iPhone 
  • Lindsey Lohan went to jail...for the first time.                                  

Do you feel old yet? If so, then you should come to our 5 year reunion and hang out with all of your old classmates! This is an interest group only, so if no one is interested, we won't have a reunion. No date set as of now, but the tentative plan is for sometime mid June. We will know more soon! Just a heads up--we plan on having this catered, and will likely be asking for $7-$10 donations per person to cover the cost. 

Let the group know if you're interested, and feel free to add other classmates that I overlooked. Also, if you are in contact with someone who is under a rock and doesn't have Facebook, if you could send either Amber or myself their contact information, that would be awesome! Now have a good day, and don't break a hip! 

Seriously? How are you first going to remind Me that I'm not "getting any younger" and then ask for money? Really? Are these people Nutty? When I received this invitation I thought to myself "WTH", I can't believe they would even include them two factors in the same invitation. It was a nice thought. I'm sure that it will be a lot of fun. I'm not going on a count of work, and things like that, but I'm sure there are a lot of my former classmates going. I hope that they have fun. It was nice of them to send me an invitation. I Think...

Who Stole My Name??

Before the judging begins I would just like to defend Myself by saying that "I was very bored, I couldn't Help it!!" So here's what happened:

I was so passed Bored, that Bored was a teeny-tiny dot that you could only see with a microscope, if you were to have  20/20 vision. I thought to Myself, "What Should I Do?" So What Did I Do? Well, if you really must know (and apparently you must), I did what all the Kids do. Yes, that's right Folks, I "Googled" Myself.

Now, for all of your perverts who's minds just started spinning in circles, and you started laughing to yourself all creepy and/or psycho I must tell you "It's Not What Your Thinking". Sorry. No, in fact it is exactly what I said, I was on the computer, on the website "google" and typed my name in to see what would come up.

(By the way not appreciating the fact that when you start typing something in it gives you suggestions: The first thing that came up when I started typing my name was: "my name/Death"...NOT COOL!!!) But, Moving On.

I would First like to discuss the List of "Suggestions" that Google gave to Me:
~"My Name/Death"
Not Cool!! It was eery, and creepy, not to mention the girl was my age, with my name, with Alot of other factors that creep Me the Hell Out!!
~"My Name/Florida"
Used to Live there, Great for Vacation! Absolutely Hated living there!! I'm as pale as they come, and have naturally curly-hair, Let's just say not great in the Humidity!!
~"My Name/HighSchool Football"
Don't know why that would come up, I do Love Football, and I was in Full Support for My Highschool Football Team, but it must have been another one of them Damn "Katie" impostures.
~"My Name/WTF"
I'm just going to Leave this One Completely Alone!! I don't want to know the situation of this one, I know it's NOT ME, so therefore I am perfectly fine with it.

The Point and Entire Purpose of This is the Fact that when I'm Bored, I tend to Do things that I shouldn't do! Don't Do it People! I know what most of you are going to do. Just like My Aunt did when I told her about this, you will immediately go Google yourself, but DON'T!! Because, you will feel Violated just as I felt! With the Eternal Question:

Who Stole My Name??

Damn it, Kate!!!

Ahh, the Famous words that run through my family like Lance Armstrong rode through the "Tour De France". (By the way people, drugs or not I could never have done the "Tour De France", I would've killed over not long after I started so I give the man props, just saying!!) But moving on from my Defense of Lance Armstrong (save for another day), I would like to talk a little bit about the "Famous Words", that just Happen To Be: Damn It Kate!! Why are these words so "Famous" You ask? Well..I shall tell you all of My Furry Friends. The reason is because, Grandpa Vinson (I say that because he's not just my grandfather, because I'm the youngest of many grandchildren, not to mention all of the great-grandchildren, etc. after Me)..Anyhoo's Grandpa Vinson used to yell constantly at/for Grammy Vinson (Mary Katherine) for Everything! Always the same Three Words: Damn It Kate!!

After losing Grandpa over 11 years ago, the saying still stuck in the family because of the constant  humor that came along with it. Not to mention when we were all younger we used to Love the idea that we were "aloud" to say "Damn It" as long as it was followed by a "Kate". Now, after nearly a year after losing Grammy Vinson, you know what? It still sticks. However, now the puck has been passed. To whom you ask? Me!! That's Who!! Being named after Grammy (Katherine, that is, not Mary, already taken by an Aunt) certainly has been amusing my entire life. Not only have I heard it my entire life towards Grammy, and also to Myself, but it seems that it caught on more than just in the family. Everybody in the family, no matter to whom they are speaking at some point in time say to the opposite person: Damn It Kate!! It seems to be Contagious. Not only does it come from the Family (ALOT, Thanks Guys), but my friends and random people from different areas of my Life have seemed to catch on as well. My Friends from school that I grew up with, and My Friends that I have made later on in My Life at some point or another have said, The Following Phrases: Damn It Katherine!, Damn It Kat!, Damn It Katie Beth!, Damn It Katie Did!, Damn It Didder!, Damn It Katie Perry!, Damn It KK!, Damn It Katie Belle!, Damn It Chris Keller (Don't Ask), Damn It Kyle! (No, Seriously Don't Ask). Among other things, but never none as catchy as: Damn It Kate!! For those of You that Do Not know Me, there are Probably some things that I should tell you so it won't be so confusing.

#1: My Middle name is neither: Beth, Did, nor Belle, just for the record. (Although I did briefly consider changing it to Beth, because it was so catchy, and everybody called me that for a long time, convinced it was my middle name, and even after being told that it wasn't by that point had just caught on, and is now what alot of my friends call ME) #2: The name "Didder" came from an old friend of mine (Ashley) derived from Katie-Did, people always ask about that like it's something weird or has a really dramatic story, but no just a nickname, one of the only one's I personally liked. #3: I HATE it when people call Me Kat! Please don't do it! There are only two people (one girl and boy I graduated with) that calls Me that, and it doesn't get on my nerves. Other than that, it's annoying as all Hades!! #4: The only times I am called Katherine, is when i'm around someone I went to school with (grew up with) or if i'm in trouble. Other than that, it's usually Katie, Katie Beth, or Didder. #5: Chris Keller as some of you probably know is a character from the show "One Tree Hill" played by actor/musician Tyler Hilton. He was absolutely my Favorite Character hands down, and I still listen to his music in everyday life. I think he's very talented and i enjoy listening to his voice. Anyway, an old friend of mine that I used to work with used to call me Chris Keller, because like one of his famous last lines from the show, I used to always say "Chris Keller is on the Lam", so the name kinda stuck with me. #6: About the Kyle thing, Yeah when I was younger (and sometimes even now) I used to have an alter ego that I named Kyle. I used to, and even still do, talk to myself at times, and I say to Myself, I say "Kyle!" Don't ask, I have issues, and if my family can except them, and Love Me despite these facts about Myself, then ya'll can at least just let them Go.  #7: An old friend/girl I worked with (and also dated her brother for a long while) used to call Me Katie Perry, because she thought that it was cool that our names went together, and also because we both had pale skin and dark hair. Well Katy Perry is a beautiful woman so needless to say I just go with it. #8: KK is a nickname that was given to Me by a Friend/old boss (who happens to be the mother of #7 girl, and the guy I dated). 

Up until that point she was the best boss that anyone could ever ask for, and I love her dearly. She did Alot for Me in the short time that I had known her, the biggest thing being that she took a chance on an 18 year old girl, still a Senior in Highschool, that had no experience in that field whatsoever, and gave her a job. She told Me "I know you have no experience doing this kind of job, but if your willing to learn/listen/work then you can have the job. I took the job, and was there nearly five years. The reasons I'm still not there will be for another day, but just know that it had nothing to do with this woman, because she was nothing but good to Me. Except for those select moments in Life when it's: Damn It Kate!! Don't Know Why I Felt The Need To Share These Facts Of My Life, Probably Like Most Things I Just Felt The Need To Ramble!! So There You Have It Folks!! The Famous Words of My Family and Life!! Anyone Who Knows Me, Will Completely Agree With It All. Also, "Damn It Kate!!", Almost the Name of My Blog :):) Until Next Time Hobbits and Hobbettes...(By the way I also make really Bad and/or Tacky Jokes!!)

Amy Dean. (Happy birthday, sweet girl).

Today is the birthday of my dear friend Amy Dean Ferguson. Amy is 23 years old as of today. She was one of the kindest, most beautiful, sincere people that I have ever met in my lifetime. 

Sadly, on July 4, 2009, when we were a mere 19 years old, she was in a car wreck, that claimed her life. Getting that call on that July morning was incredibly hard. At first I didn't want to believe it. No matter how sick of a joke it would have been, I was still hoping that it was in fact that. 

Unfortunately, that was not the case on that particular day. Losing her was incredibly painful. Not just for me, as she was one of my dearest friends, but also for her son (Chandler Seth), her parents, and a slue of other people, whose lives Amy touched, and trust me there are A LOT of them. I recently put a post on my Facebook page for all of our friends that also lost her in celebration of Amy's 23rd Birthday. 

It read like this: 

"Happy Birthday, Amy Dean!! Amy was a great friend to myself and to many people that I know. We all grew up in such a small community that it was extremely easy to get close to someone, and it was Amy that touched every one of us. Anyone could be having the worse day ever, and Amy could walk into the room and smile at them once, and it was like "poof all good now". Her smile was brighter than anyone's that I have ever seen, and who could forget the way she sneezed? Like a mouse!! Always three times, since we were little kids, it was weird. Like the rest of us she went through many stages, including but not limited to her "Avril Lavigne" stage which was fun, seeing her in ties and a lot of black eyeliner. Chandler was her pride and joy, she loved that kid more than anything, and that's saying a lot, because she was so full of love for everyone and everything! It was one of the saddest days of my life, among with any other people I know when we got that call/message on that July morning telling us that Amy had been taken away from us when we were the mere age of 19. But, Amy would want us to remember the good memories, and there are a lot, so in true Amy Fashion that's what we shall do!! Happy 23rd Birthday, Skippy!! We love you and miss you!!" 

Followed by Amy's Favorite Quote: 

"Laugh your heart out, dance in the rain, cherish the memories, ignore the pain, love and learn, forgive and forget, because remember, you only have one life to live" 

That quote suited her and her entire life. I miss Amy everyday, and will always cherish the memories that we have together. I love you, Skippy!! Miss you!! Remember you Always!!

Getting older or growing up? It's a fine line, you know.

My Question is :

Am I at the point in my life where I am growing up, or am I simply just getting old? I had this conversation with Momma. I have held a full-time job since I was 15 years old, and according to Momma, hit maturity at a very young age. Yet, I still find myself wondering, since I have been pretty much an adult since such a young age, did it make me an old lady or is it the fact that I am old that makes me old? I think I'm going with I'm not old I'm just mature. Ok, maybe not so much mature, because I still find immature and childish things at times incredibly funny, but it's my blog and life, so that's what I'm going with.

The conversation between Momma and myself happened while driving down the road one day. It was a chilly day out, and she had turned to me and asked the question "what do you want for dinner"? Simple enough question, right? WRONG! The question wasn't what had caused the explosion in my brain, no, that came from the fact that my brain doesn't know what to do with itself or the rest of me at times. The question was simple enough, in fact it was one of the simplest questions ever, and asked across the world everyday. However, when my brain tried to process it a million factors went through my head such as: heartburn, acid reflux, bad breath, leftover possibly, grease factors (I wanted the grease, not the healthy route)... and that's when it all stopped and only one thought was stuck in my head.

Now, mind you while I was having this conversation all by myself, in my head, Momma was driving down the road all like: "Katie, hello! Are you gonna answer me or not?" Finally, knowing me like she does so well, she chose to smack me in the back of the head to snap me back into reality. When I came back to reality, she said "ok, I know that look, what were you thinking?"

The realization just hit me like a ton of bricks, yes I am getting older! Now I am very aware that 23 is still very young, and that I still have a long way to go before I'm considered "old", however during this conversation I thought to myself dang!!

The conversation went like this:

By the way when I say "the conversation" I mean I was talking, and rambling on, and Momma just listened, nodded, and laughed hysterically (thanks a lot):

"In the good ole days 6,7, or even 8 of us would all pile into 1 truck (usually an old beat up one that looked rough, but ran with ease). If you were to look into that truck you would see all of us sitting on each other, practically laying half in/out of the windows. We screamed, laughed, drank, ate whatever was left over from the night before, and passed out in random fields. Basically, just had a whole lot of FUN!

Now skip to early twenties:

What's the First thing I do while getting into a new vehicle you ask. Well, I shall tell you..       

  •  Uhh, There's No Seatbelts? Really? What's the Crash Test Rating?

Followed by other moments in my life:

  • Oh my God! I can't go party tonight! It's Friday, and been a very stressful week!! Plus I have to be back at work on Monday morning!
  • Oh, I can't drink that! I'll get heartburn!
  • Oh no really, I can't eat that! My digestive system just can't process it, nor handle it!

Boy how times change!!! When did I all of the sudden become a little old lady??! Good times!! Good times!! You should've seen Momma laughing, she thought it was hilarious! Glad that my mid-life crisis was so amusing to her! I say that cause I figure I'm halfway through life until my mid-life crisis. Strange, definitely! But, life's more fun that way!!

Boston.

Today is one of those kind of days that no one wants to think about. One that brings tears and questions.


Questions of why, how, who?

It's the kind of day that reminds us all that we are so very human.

And fragile.

And tests to determine our strength and resilience.

It reminds us that life is short and tells us to hold the ones we love the most close to us everyday.

There are families tonight that will never have that opportunity again.

Tonight we pray. And love.

And tomorrow? We start rebuilding.

Here's to you, Boston. We stand with you.... united.

I had to make sure that Moe got to his new house safely.

Back on 2/23 (which coincidentally is one of my best friends since we were six birthdays) I helped Dani and her family move into their new house. I had helped her pack up her craft room a couple of weeks before that, but the 23rd was "the big day." She was excited, sentimental, and appreciative of the help, and I'm glad I could help her out in one way or the other.

As we were loading everything up, Dani told me that she needed to get Morgan to the new house safely. She said, "I can't leave him here anymore. I want to take him now!! He needs to go up front with me."

After I stopped freaking out and thinking she was going to make me help her dig up a dog out of the yard (ok, laugh if you will, but I didn't know pet cremation was a thing.... I grew up on a farm for Christ sake!), I took her "Moe box" and placed it safely in the front seat of the UHaul. I even buckled him in to make sure that he wasn't going to go anywhere, but his new home.

I know it may sound crazy, but I feel the exact same way about Tayder, so I understand how she feels. If something ever happens to him I don't know what I'll do, so I know she's crazy, but I still try and make her feel okay about it. Because she does me.
