Registry School

I'm out in Auburn for registry school. I didn't want to drive back and forth both days, so I stayed overnight out here. Now I feel like I should have sucked it up and went home. I miss Owen. :( But, I know I needed the break. Zack needs a break too, and I feel like he'll never get one. He's working 5 overnights this week, and 4 next week and a night at Gillete for the football game. :(

My family is keeping it together since the passing of my grandfather, taking it 1 day at a time. Some days I don't believe he's gone. Others, I'm so bitter about it I can barely function. I guess it's normal, so everyone says. It's been 3 weeks tomorrow since he passed away. It doesn't feel like that long ago, yet it feels like I haven't seen him in forever. If that even makes sense. All I know is that I miss him, and I can't believe that (whenever that day comes) he won't be at my wedding. :(

Anyway, happier thoughts... umm... well... nevermind, there aren't any. :(

My Papa

Well, as you can see from my last post, my Papa passed away on July 14th, 2010 at around 10:15am after a very long battle with Cancer. He was first diagnosed 10 years ago. He beat it, and was then diagnosed again 5 years ago. Beat that too. Was re-diagnosed the first week of June, and it was too bad to do anything, so he opted to not have chemo/radiation, and to put his life in the hands of Jesus. He is now home with Jesus, not suffering anymore, and is at peace. His one wish was to see the whole family before he passed, and he did. I'm glad to say that I have no regrets whatsoever when it comes to my Grandfather, and although I'll miss him more than anyone will ever understand, I'm so blessed to have had him in my life for the past 25 years, and my son is blessed to have gotten to spend 2 years with him. We love him more than anything, but he's now with Jesus.

God saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not meant to be.
So he put his arms around you, and whispered "Come to Me".
With tearful eyes we watched you, as we saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best.

Rest In Peace Papa

NOT A Month Later! :)

So it's only been 2 weeks since my last update, not a whole month! Haha.

Well, I got a new job, and gave my notice to HCF. I'm excited and sad at the same time. I interviewed for my new job on the 28th of June, and started on the 29th. LoL. I gave my 2 weeks at HCF and my last day is Thursday, but since I don't work during the week, it's really tomorrow. It's so surreal. I can't believe I'm leaving. I'm excited and scared at the same time. But, it's for the better. I can grow and make more money and move up. It's a very, very good move for me. :)

As far as everything else, it's pretty much gone to shit. My grandfather is dying, and will probably pass in the next day or so. My electricity is going to be shut off the 14th... so Wednesday. My rent was due 2 days ago, and I don't have it, not to mention I'm behind on last month's rent $100. My gas and cable are still shut off. It sucks. This new job will EVENTUALLY catch us up, but not fast enough, unfortunately. My Dad is still unemployed, so he can't really help me, although he does what he can and I appreciate it more than he knows. I feel bad I'm 25 years old and living on my own and he's still helping me. :(

Other than that, nothing major is going on. Owen has tripled his words in the past 2 weeks and has become my little parrot. It's very cute. I'll have to post a video of him talking. I'm going to miss these days when they're gone, I can tell you that. This is, by far, my favorite age with him. Although then again I say that about EVERY age he's been... it just keeps getting better and better. :)

Almost A Month Later...

... I am DETERMINED to post in this blog! Geez... Idk why I can't keep up with a freaking blog! I have so much to say, am always looking for an outlet, yet never think to blog! Maybe I'll use that as a first option, rather than a last.

Anyway, things in my life are not spectacular, but I'm trying to stay positive. Our gas has been off for roughly 6 weeks, and same with our cable and internet. Our electricity is still on (thank goodness). Zack's insurance is due TODAY, and it's not going to happen. We both need inspection stickers by the end of the month, and his is going to get rejected because of his check engine light that HCF said was "nothing". Oh well. Why is everything about money? Every time I'm stressed out, 90% of those times are about money. I hate it. I hate money. Even when I had it, I was not a huge fan. :(

My Papa is not doing well. He says he's waiting for the Lord to come and ring the bell for him to go. He's just waiting. He says he's not in any pain. Hopefully that is in fact the case. I'd hate to think of him suffering in pain for this long. <3

Onto happier thoughts... Owen is huge. Saying over a hundred words, knows some basic colors, letters, numbers, can count to 5 (and 10 with help), can do the alphabet (with help), and is trying his hardest to figure out how this whole potty idea works. He LOVES being naked now. :) He thinks feet are the funniest things in the world, and is being a lot more loving to the puppy than ever before. :)

That is all for now I guess. <3

Well, as the title states, this is one of MANY tries to make a blog, and actually keep up with it. I make one, maybe 2 posts, and then give up. I know I should have one. Just to get my thoughts out. We'll see how it goes. :)

Wish me luck!
