Easter is upon us! The most underrated holiday of the year – seriously St. Patrick’s Day gets more pub than Easter – is often overshadowed by a giant rabbit that lays eggs! Oh boy! As a Christian this holiday should be just as important as Christmas yet I don’t get a day off from work [...]

Posted in UJ on April 24, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Tuesday marks the not-so-great one-year anniversary of my Uncle Jeff’s death. One year! Time flies. I still remember the day in great detail. The confusing phone call from my Mom, bolting out the door from work and walking into my Uncle’s apartment and seeing my family in tears. I remember Erik and I picking Randy [...]

Sorry, I know you were all dying to see five more of my memorable days, but I took the last couple of days off. I decided not to bore you all with a list of my favorite athletes, plus I just haven’t had time to write up a list. You know, give it what I’ve [...]

It’s so nice of everyone to celebrate my mom’s birthday with family get togethers, barbecues and fireworks. She really appreciates it. This morning we went to my Grandparent’s house and had breakfast then in the afternoon we went to a park nearby and hung out, had a barbeque and did nothing. Just what I like! [...]

The final day of this emotional weekend was spent going to and from theTahomaNationalCemeteryinKent,Washington. Again, we woke up early and again we had butterflies in our stomachs. We knew that today would be another emotional day and another day of being smacked in the face with reality. UJ is gone. We got dressed in our [...]

And on the seventh day God rested…and so did the Johnson family. We had spent most of the week going through a ton of emotional stress so it was nice to have a day where nothing was planned other than hanging out with the family. The morning I woke up with a beast of a [...]

I didn’t sleep well Friday night. I kept waking up with odd dreams and an upset stomach. I was nervous. The day that I had dreaded all week had arrived and I wasn’t sure if I was ready to face the reality of my uncle no longer being with us. We arrived at the funeral [...]
