Well folks, I've made it home from Texas safely and returned to mundane life of taking quiz after quiz and walking the dogs. I have to say I am really ready to be done with these classes. I would like to get acquainted with Mobile and the people here. I still feel like I am visiting because I haven't been able to get out as much as I'd like. Hopefully that all changes soon.
The trip to Texas felt like it flew by. I always enjoy my time there. It's one of those places I love to visit but have no real interest in living there at this point in my life. I am blessed with an amazing extended family there however, who make every trip very enjoyable. As I was there I sat back and thought about what we all really have in each other, and I was touched by the realization that we are very lucky. No we don't always agree and we are definitely not all alike but we all have so much love to offer each other and would give anything we could to the other to help them succeed. The older I get I see just how important these people are to me. So many of my cousins have turned out to be really awesome people. I think back to the days of playing in Mom and Pops "Big Room" and laugh when I think about what we've all become. I am touched by the fact that my cousin Kelyn and I become closer the older that we get. We are 7 years apart but since she's gotten older, I honestly feel almost like she is my sister. She is an amazing lady and I am glad we've grown closer. We all had to say "See ya Later" to Pop, it's not Good Bye because I plan on seeing him again someday...Mom might pick me up in her Crown Vic too (I know that's what she picked up Pop in), I am just hoping she got the AC fixed because I complain a lot more now than I did when I was younger. In the realm of funerals I have to say it was very beautiful and a nice reflection of Pop and his love for everyone. He will be so missed, as is mom, but they are together again and no longer in pain. They've been the rock and center of this family for so long, it just won't be the same without them. I think that they left behind a lot of love and affection that will be felt for a long time though. RIP Mom and Pop!
No Mobile news to report...I honestly am THAT boring right now. I have tried cooking this week and BF is nice enough to eat it and tell me it's delicious...Thankful for his kindness ;) I have been working hard trying to finish up classes. I decided to put one off until summer so I only have one final next week on Tuesday. I am trying to save myself from a nervous breakdown. I will finish the second class before we head to the beach for Memorial Day and then take the rest of the summer off. It's the weekend tomorrow so I am looking forward to spending time with the BF and relaxing on Saturday. I will head to my parents on Sunday and spend the week with them. They are moving next week...Hopefully I can help and try to start repaying them for the many moves I've had...I KNOW it's no where near what I've put them through! HAHA! I am really excited about spending a whole week with them, although I see them a lot I always miss them. I am lucky to have such awesome parents.
Sorry no funny stories to tell. Once I start exploring Mobile I should have a lot more to offer you!
Night Peeps!
