In God We Trust

I was on the phone with Mike last night, and we talked about how dangerous our world has become. I guess it never truly occurred to me the magnitude of it all until it hit home. Four months ago, my house was broken into (refer to my January post). My dad still mourns the loss of his 35-yr-old wedding ring, and my mom her beloved Santo Nino & gold Vatican rosary with the personal blessing of Pope Benedict. Of course, we are all glad to simply be safe and alive.

On April 25, a 24-yr-old nursing grad from the local college was reported missing. It took almost two weeks before any real progress was made, as a body of a woman with "similar physical descriptions" was found in the nearby county. Today, it was reported that the body of the woman found on Friday was that of hers. No further reports have been made. RIP Phuong Le, and may God be with her family. :(

To make things a little scarier, yesterday a body of another woman was found inside a home in Solano County. I don't know where North Gate Road is, but Google is telling it's near Travis AFB. TAFB?! Near my workplace?! Near my boyfriend's home?! Oh heck no! An arrest has been made though, so let's hope she gets justice.

Can my area get any more scary?! I've been in this city for damn near fifteen years, and nothing crazy like this has ever happened so close to one another. People say that population has been mixed with that from the other side of the bay. Ughh.. :(

B-b-but, I like this place.

My mom's the best there is... :)

To all the moms out there, Happy Mother's Day! :) My mom's working a double today, so I can't really spend much time with her. I do, however, plan on bringing her food to work before I go to afternoon mass. I can go on and on and on about my mom, but I'll keep that just for her. I have to say though that mom's the most amazing woman I know, no lie! She's always working, that even in the picture below -- I had to steal her from work (yup, she's still in her scrubs), so she can attend my newphew's birthday party! Hehe.
