It's Been Awhile

I haven't written anything in a long time.  So much has happened in the past month and a half.  I went to Vegas for a wedding, my Great Aunt Cherie died, my car went to crap, and got myself a boyfriend.

The Vegas trip was awesome.  I got to spend 5 days with my best friends and watch one of them get married.  I was so happy to be a part of this wedding.  You know how sometimes you go to a wedding and you know it's a big waste of time and money because the marriage won't last 6 months?  This was not like that at all.  These two have been through hell and you can see it in their eyes when they look at each other that they're supposed to be together.  Cheesy?  Yeah.  Totally true though.

Aunt Cherie was a special person.  It was sad watching her being taken off life support after a stroke killed her brain.  Her death brought her family together.  People I hadn't seen in years came to the funeral and it was wonderful to see everyone reminiscing about the good times.  Cherie had her struggles, but she loved her family deeply.  It was a happy funeral.  Well, as happy as a funeral can be anyway.

My car is stupid.  Let's just leave it at that.  I don't even care that it's leaking all over my driveway.  It doesn't rattle or sneeze anymore so I'll just ignore it.

The boyfriend I got is pretty amazing.  He spoils Grace and me.  I'm not used to that at all.  He opens doors, holds my hand, makes me feel special, and is very patient with me.  If you know me, I'm stubborn and kind of a pain in the ass so patience is a necessity.  He lets Grace play games on his phone, shares his french fries with her, and entertains her while I'm busy.  I'm a very lucky girl.  Grace thinks he's the bee's knees too.

There you go.  You're all caught up.  Life is good.
