The Funeral

Today was my Uncle JB's funeral, it was sad as they usually are, but it kills me to see my grandma sad. Jay was my grandma's oldest brother, she called them playmates.

Yesterday at the viewing, Grandma, Aunt Chris, Steven Jay and I were at the casket, Chris ( who is now completely blind) say to Steven her son, "Steven, how does he look?" and Steve started to cry... then Grandma chimed in, with that ultra calming and soothing voice that she has and says, Chris, he looks like Jay, he's at peace. I lost it... it hurts so bad to think Chris the aunt that is so much the rock of our family is now so dependent on everyone.

There were a lot of cousins there that I either never met or haven't seen since I was little, they all said I look just like my mom and some of them even cried when they saw me... I have that affect on people :-)

Although, it was a very sad day and I hated it. It was great to see all my family, I have realized today that the 35 minute drive to them isn't too far to make, EVER!!!

Matt went with me for support and he was great, at one time when they were singing, I started to cry, he didn't say anything, he just gently reached over and held my hand tightly.. those are the moments with him that I love, when he doesn't say anything, but says so much.

Afterwards we went to eat with Linda and Cara and the kids + Courtney. Matt and Cara even exchanged a few laughs :-) things are looking up they will be BFF before you know it.

that's all for today, I promise to be positive in my next post :-)
Pray for our family, there is a lot of unfinished business.

This just in....

one of the fish is dead,so we now have 1. Rest in peace Daphney, we will remember you always, or until you are replaced before the kids get home... maybe they won't notice! :-)

I'm back......

Hello all my loyal blog fans, I am back. There has been so much going on in my world here lately.. too much to catch you up on.

My recently Maggie had a birthday she is 5 years old now.... I guess that makes me a grown up?!?!? i don't feel it.

Maggie and I have moved in with Cara and the kids, we have officially became the bradey bunch :-)

I got a promotion at Heartland and I am now Division Service Maanager of Alabama.. I love it

My dad finished his hot rod, it's awesome!! I'm not allowed to touch it and can NEVER drive it :-)


Brittany was on homecoming court and Cara and I drove her and Cody in the parade, it was so much fun.. she's grown into a beautiful young lady, so much like me..tear! j/k

I've been dating someone very special to me, his name is Matt. that's all I'm going to say about him, there is lots of drama in the LBC if you know what I mean :-)

Cara got her galbladder taken out because she has a crush on the hot doctor.

Maggie is going to be Dorothy for halloween and our Yorkie is going to be toto.

I can't think of much more to update you fine people on....

So, back to my regular posts.

Yesterday at lunch;

K so yeaterday I went to lunch was going to meet Matt but decided last minute I was going to run errands instead and would just see him later that night. So... I go to the bank fill out my deposit slip put my check and slip in the canister and TRY to put it back in the thing, but dropped it...it then rolled under my car, I had to back up to try and get out to get it and I ran over it, then... I go to subway and get lunch, they are out of my bread, I get my veggie sub and rock and roll down the road I go. UNTIL, I get stopped by construction, Matt was on the phone talking about his job so I decided to eat y lunch, as I opened my sub most all the veggie, fell under my car seat, and being of such short stature, I couldn't reach them, this whoe time, Matt is on speaker phone. I try and try to reach them making obvious grunting and aggravated faces when I raise up to see a construction crew, staring and laughing at me, I smiled and kept eating :-) THEN I get to work, by now I'm kinda in a hurry, I go to get out of the car and the insanely high heel get stuck on the pant cuff anf I fall out of my car.. thank gooness no one saw me. Shew... maybe next time I will just meet Matt for lunch :-)
