UNEXPECTED BAD DAY...

Lets go way back to the OLD Sento days, shall we?

Back in 2005 my BFF Lacee and I decided, we needed to buy some fish.

We jumped into my car, and headed over to Animal Arch to get us some fish! We were so excited, I got a Blue Beta, she got a Cream Beta. I named mine Bo, and Lacee named hers Shug.

Oh how we loved our fish. We would take them home during long breaks, and they loved us.

Bo knew when it was feeding time, and he would come to my hand any time I put it on his bowl.

Shug died in 2006, so I knew I was lucky that Bo kept on living.

Lacee got a fish named Lucy who was not very nice to her, so I always was glad I had Bo.

I was let go from Sento in 2007 and I will never forget Lacee holding Bo as we drove to my house bawling-- because we were no longer going to be Co-workers and see eachother everyday. What a sad day!

I had gotten another fish in the mean time, Brutus, he didn't like me so much, but I didn't care, I still had my Bo!

Brutus died about a year ago, again I was kinda sad, but he didn't like me, so I got over him quickly... Sorry man, but I did.

My dog Jett loved to watch the "fishies". I'd say "Jett, wheres the fishies?" and he would run into my room, put his face on my desk and just watch in amazement. He would go crazy when they would move.
My little Nephew Bridger loved Bo too. He always had to get his little flashlight and shine it on Bo, and the froggies.
Oh the good times.

Bo was getting old, I could tell because his tail started to curl, he was getting slow, and didn't move too often.

There were days I only ever saw him move when I fed him. He sure loved his food!

Yesterday morning I fed Bo, tapped on his glass 3 times and watched him come to the surface and eat. I always loved doing that! It was part of my "morning routine".

Well last night, I got home around 12:15 AM and said hello to Bo like I did each and every night. He looked fine, as he always did. I said goodnight, and I tried to go to sleep, I tossed and turned all night, not understanding why until I woke up.

I got up to get into the shower, and noticed he was on his back...

I shook his bowl... nothing...and the only words that could come out were

"Oh, Bo...".... He was dead.

Now I cannot say I am crying, nor did I when I flushed him down the toilet.

But my heart is a little sad!!

Now I have to decide if I want to buy a new fish now, or wait a while??? I have to have a fish. I HAVE TO! I fed him everyday. I talked to him every morning and night.

I still have Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb (my frogs)

but they do not like me as much as Bo did.

I will miss you, My Bo!!

May you have a wonderful time in Fishy Heaven until we meet again!

Then I will see you everyday and say Hello all the time!!

Thanks for being my friend!! You were always there for me!!

OUR FIRST FEW WEEKS

Ok, so back when Russ and I hit our 5th year "Whatever", I wanted to start writing how we started dating. Our first date, first kiss, first few weeks and what not. But seriously I remember SO much about our first few weeks, it may take me a few weeks to get it all down. So I thought I would start this time with how things started.

Forgive me for the novel. LOL, Like I said I remember almost all of it, down to what we were wearing.

Russ and I were in the same P.E. class Freshman year. He was a "TOTAL NERD" in my book, cause I was all about the older guys... Yeah whatever, They weren't all they were cracked up to be. I never really paid much attention to him. He was a skinny little 9th grader with weird friends. But deep inside I did think he was pretty cute.

Like I said I never paid much attention to him, and to make matters worse 2nd semester, I was in Math class and Russ was "pants-ed" in the doorway, boxers and all. I can say I don't really remember that at all, he still just talks about it all the time and says he was DEVASTATED cause he knew I was in there and had a HUGE crush on me.

Sophomore year I hung out with "The Sixlets" (my girls) ALL THE TIME, they were my life. I turned 16 that year and remember I started driving to school the last few weeks. Randomly one day I started thinking about "Russell Snyder" and wondered where he had gone. I had not seen him all year. Then I saw it, the BIG BLUE FORD. I HAD to know who's truck that was. A few days later when I was pulling out of the parking lot, I looked over (cause the Big Blue Truck almost hit me) and realized THERE HE WAS! He had not moved, or fallen off the face of the earth, but was looking better then ever! And driving the HOTTEST truck I had ever seen. I waved and drove off. That was pretty much the last day of school, so the summer came and went, and he was no longer on my mind. (Sorry dear, LOL, but its true).

At the start of Junior year I started dating Chayse Davis- Football player, and a great guy. We dated for about 2 months and then we broke up. I couldn't seem to get over him though. I went on a few dates here and there, but I still was calling him all the time to hang out. We hung out until March on and off. I was being a total stalker cause I still liked him a lot! Then one night it happened. I called him up, I was with Julie (who Chayse liked) so Chayse said we could go over and hang out. We walked up the stairs and there he was, in his gray hoodie, nice jeans, and black shoes, Russell Snyder (2 weeks before we started dating). I was seriously so shy and didn't know what to say, or why I was being quite, but I was. I was not ready for the day, had a hoodie on myself, hair not done, and I don't think I had make up on. Chayse was a TOTAL jerk! I was stuck on Russ. We left shortly after, cause Chayse made Julie mad. But I knew I had to get Russ!

I saw Russ's truck a few days later down the road (at his house) as I took my little brother to his friends house. I KNEW I had to stop by.

Julie was dating Joey Pututau at the time, and I didn't want to be a 3rd wheel so I took her scooter and drove it over to Russ's. (Wearing my hair down, my bright pink "Dance" headband, tan jacket- that I loved- nice jeans and flip flops. I felt AWESOME!) The rest is history. I took him for the scariest scooter ride of his life. Dropped him off at Chayse's (they went shooting), Julie and I got pulled over as they drove away, and the following week he asked me to Prom. You already know that story. But there it is, How it ALL started!
