Graduating

Well my cutie did it!

He graduated yesterday! He is now completly done with school. And we are on to a new part of life! I hope we are up for it!

Some of his friends who graduated with him are seen here. His mom also graduated yesterday! Congrats to her from me. I am pretty impressed she graduated with the only 4.0 in her college( as in the Paralegal dept. so to speak).

All in all it was a pretty big day yesterday!

Congratulations to my Sweetheart!

I love you hun!

Wow...

Well I guess it has been a while since I posted on here... But the only ppl who seem to read this already know what is going on in my life. Anyways, for those of you who don't here is a rough sketch of what my life has been for the past 3 months or so.

Well at my day job, we have had lots of rain as well as slow buisness because they closed the truck stop across the street for rebuilding.

At my night job, the theatre, we started the fun show Aida. I ended up being sinlge cast for this show. And man I think that was a mistake. Don't get me wrong I loved the show, the people, and other things. I just got very physically tired.

Ok during tech week I found out that a good friend from High School died. That threw me for a loop. Then the second day of the run a good friend in the crew got caught in the stage. He survived and is doing very well now. He is going back to work and everything. But that was scarey. And I still don't know what to really say about that event.

My aunt had her baby, the next week or so, and we then buried that sweet child the next monday.

Close to a month later on the 31st of March, my husband's sister had a beautiful baby girl. She was 8lbs and 18 inches long. Her name is Breanne Elizabeth Kilger. I got to hold her the next sunday.

Then we started adding matinees on fridays, mondays and thursdays. I ended up working 11 shows in the last week of the show. The last show was on Saturday. And I told my boss and everyone else there that I would not be coming back to work any more shows there. At least for a while. And I said my goodbyes to everyone. As well as assuring everyone there that I would come visit. They all said that they would miss me. And I will miss that part of my life too.

Last thursday my Grandma suffered a massive stroke and heartattack. She went into a coma then. I saw her the next day at the hospital. She gradually got worse. Until on monday, when I went down to see her, my Grandpa, and my mom. I was out playing with my 3 little cousins when my mom came out to tell me that she was gone. The nurse said she wasn't quite gone yet so I said goodbye to her and told my mom that I would get my dad and bring him down. As I was about to leave the room she left us.

Now my Grandma is out of pain, and she is safe from those demons that haunted her. She is with her Grandma, Grandpa and her Father.

Voices

"Have you been half asleep? Have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name. Are these the sweet sounds that call the young sailors? I think they're one and the same. I've heard it too many times to ignore it, there's something that I'm supposed to be..."

These words keep repeating in my head... They are to a song that I have known almost my entire life. Kenny Loggins, The Rainbow Connection. I don't know why this song touches such a chord with me. Is there something that I'm supposed to be?

I smell you

It was an interesting day today. I called in sick to work, for the first time in just about 6 months, I believe. Finished up a series of books, The Alvin Maker series by Orson Scott Card. Called my mom and we drove down south. We visited a friend of hers and then went to visit my Grandpa and Grandma. My Gandma is ill and very much likes us to visit.

Anyways, while down there we stayed longer than we had meant to and my husband ended up calling me twice before I headed home. But before I headed home I needed to eat something and so did my mom.

My Grandpa is an amazing cook. He can throw just about anything into a pot and make it not only edible but he makes it delicious. And he didn't want us to go out and buy some dinner when he had food in the kitchen. So he threw some food together for us. It was a wonderful soup that he put together with homemade noodles, turkey and gravy.

WOW!

I love my Grandpa and all that he does for his large family.

It is an interesting note that even though lots have tried to learn from my Grandpa how to cook, I don't believe anyone in the family can match his cullinary skills. But some have come close.

Anyways about the title. I went out to give the dogs their medicine and my brother in law walked by and said that he could smell me tonight... Odd I thought. But then he said that I smelled like soup.

Well that made my night. I am proud to smell like soup that my Grandpa made! What a great day! Even if there were some worrisome times during the day!
