Freedom Is Nothing Else But A Chance To Be Better

"Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better" - Albert Camus

There is just something about the fireworks on the 4th of July that really has a tender place in my heart. Whenever I sit and watch the fireworks I love to listen to the radio and all of the patriot music they play. When I listen to the music I don't necessarily think of freedom I think of gratitude. For the fireworks, Jordan and I had a BBQ at our house with his family and my mom, dad, brother, and cousin came up as well. It was so nice being surrounded by family and the ones I love. That night while I was watching the fireworks I really thought about how blessed I am. I have been blessed with the most amazing parents in the world and a brother and sister who would do anything for me. They have supported me through and through and will always continue to do as they have. I have also been blessed to marry such an amazing person. Jordan knew how to really turn my world around when I really wanted to just get out of town. He has also been such an amazing supporter to me. When I am hating work, which is about everyday, he always tells me how proud he is of me and to just keep working harder because people notice. He is always boosting my self-esteem and telling me how beautiful I am and how much he loves me. With Jordan being such a blessing I have also become part of his family and what a wonderful blessing they are to me. They have been my home away from home and cared for me as if I were their child even when Jordan and I weren't dating or should I say "official".

When the song, "Proud to Be an American" came on I couldn't help but think of my cousin Austin. That song was his absolute favorite besides "Smack That" by Akon. haha. Though he died at such a young age it also made me think about taking life and love for granted. It is unreal at how many people are dying at such a young age. Apparently, we are the choice generation and Heavenly Father needs us with him. Jordan and I were talking about it the other night and I can not believe how many times we kept telling each other how much we love each other after that night. We can not take things for granted and need to just be grateful for what we have and realize that there are plenty and I mean plenty of people who do not have things that we have. Go back to the top and read my quote again..... Freedom really is about being better. Think about that. What could you be better about? Family prayer? More affection to your spouse? Or more to any family member for that matter. Love who you love with all that you have. Life is over in a blink of an eye.

 

 

 

 






                           

Getting Away With Murder

Yesterday, the jury reached a verdict that they may never or always regret for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, it is true that there really was no sufficient evidence linking Casey to be the killer of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee. HOWEVER, the majority of the population knows with out a doubt that she killed Caylee whether it was premeditated or not. More than likely Casey will walk free Thursday after her sentencing but her life is still over. She will have a hard time getting a job and no matter what the jury's verdict was she will hear what people think from every angle.


I believe this is what happened... Casey wanted to have some fun but is so prideful she did not want Caylee to be in the care of her parents. Casey chloroformed Caylee and put her in the trunk so she could have a good time for the night. When she went back to the trunk to get Caylee she was dead. Casey panicked and did not want to tell her parents or the police what she had done so she drove the car to her parent's while they were at work, borrowed a shovel from the neighbor to bury her in the backyard like her dogs had been buried. When that plan failed she got nervous and threw her in the woods just near her home.


She is a liar and will always be a liar. She will be set free, be taken to a secure location, change her name, die her hair and do whatever it takes to live a normal life. She wrote letters in jail saying how she plans on having more children or adopting. Poor kids that have to go through hell for the rest of their lives. It's sad that the jury knew without a doubt that Casey is guilty but had to go with the evidence shown to them which was not good enough. Jurors were sick to their stomach and crying when they made their decision. Does that not tell you that she is guilty? How could anyone get away will murdering their 2-year-old innocent daughter? The parent's will never be the same because Casey ruined their marriage, family relationship and any reputation they ever had. I hope someday they can be somewhat normal again which I don't think they ever were but they don't deserve to go through hell for the rest of their lives.


Justice was not done for Caylee and her killer will now live her "Beautiful Life" (Bella Vita). Casey will be punished when it matters most and it will be by the higher power which will be even better than anything here on earth. Just wait until that day comes and then we will have justice for Caylee. HE knows what really happened and who is at fault.
