My Grandpa died Monday morning, the day after my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary.
The night before he told my grandma "I can go home now." and my grandma laughed, and told him no you can't, you have to stay in the nursing home.
The next day she realized he meant his home in heaven, not his house. :(

Monday morning when my grandma got up to the nursing home their pastor was there doing devotions with him. He was singing Amazing Grace to my grandpa, and on the third verse, my grandpa went home.

I will never be able to sing or hear "Amazing Grace" without crying again.

Updates again

1. I finally have my bed here! No more AeroBed, thank goodness. I finally know what it feels like to fall asleep quickly and stay asleep until morning, I missed that for 3 months.

2. I don't have my headboard here yet, though, which makes me sad. My dad and I forgot it when we were packing up the trailer and he hasn't gotten it over here yet. So until then I am dealing with my pillows falling to their death between my bed and the wall.

3. Work is going well. Things have seemed slow the last week or so but now they're picking up again with seniors and ....eeek....SCHOOL.

4. Speaking of school, I don't even know what day classes start...anyone care to help me out with that one?

5. It's going to be strange working during school because I haven't done that since the first semester of freshmen year. I started working only over breaks and the summer because I wanted to be able to focus on my classes, of course that was when I was taking like 19 credits instead of the 15 that I will be taking this semester. Hopefully that helps. Although I'm really not that concerned because my classes now are more project based than test based.

6. Brett has been talking lately about applying for a job in Iraq. I'm not getting worked up about it now because it's not a for sure thing that he'll even apply, let alone get the job if he does. We'll take it one step at a time. We've talked about it and he knows how I feel....[i.e. I don't want him to go]...but that I support him in all of his decisions.

7. Speaking of Brett things with us have been going really well lately. We have had some good talks recently and it's been great to know his feelings on things and that he really considers me in the decisions he makes about his life. :)

8. My grandpa was in the hospital yesterday for heart stuff so I'm hoping that he's doing well now...haven't hear anything.

9. I got Brett all moved in to his new place so that's nice! I enjoy him not having roommates, that's for sure. Now at least I know the dirty dishes and socks laying around are his and not some other gross boys :)

10. I really need to get my pictures and stuff hung up. All of these bare walls are just obnoxious.

11. Brett and I are semi-talking about road tripping it to Denver in January before school starts back up - I'm hoping that happens. I really wanna get out of this town and I miss Denver. Plus on the way we can stop and see his cousins and KAYT!!! Eeekkk. :)

12. I have a wedding to go to on Friday and I forgot about it until just now. Woops.

13. I keep having the urge to go to the mall and spend money. Must...resist...shopping...

I'm out of things to say right now...I feel like there should be more, but nope - i'm boring.

Night, all.
