Weekend In Globe
Well... I am exhausted. I feel like every part of my body is drained. Emotionally and physically. We spent the weekend in Globe. Eddie and I decided to go up on Thursday for my brothers homecoming game and watch them play. Chris broke a record of having the most rushing yards in one game and had 5 touchdowns. Gregg made two touchdowns and kicked ass on defense. :) They dedicated their game and performance to my Grampa, that was very sweet of them. They had alot of family support at the game..... everyone was in town to attend my Grampa's funeral :( so all my family decided to go.... thinking it might be uplifting. and it was for a little bit. Friday came and went...... I attended my Grampas funeral..... I never have lost anyone that close to me. It was EXTEMELY hard to be there. For a minute I find myself thinking if its for real or not. But unfortunately... it is. I miss him alot an it seems as though all hours and moments of the day he is going through my head. I try not to cry when I think about it... but cant help it most of the time. Which is why I am thankful to have Eddie be there for me as well as my lil cousin Christy..... its a little family away from home. Saturday when we had to leave to come back to face reality in the valley.. my heart hurt so bad because I had to leave all of my family that had been comforting me and me comforting them all weekend. All I can do is count down the days till I will be able to spend time with all of them again..... But now that I am back at work... going on with everyday life.... I know that there will not be a day that I wont think of my Grampa.... Now every day I am going to make sure that I make it a point to tell everyone in my life that I love them with all my heart no telling when they might be taken from you.
My Grampa!!!

I LOVE U GRAMPA"Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from who they love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.""A grandpa is someone you never outgrow your need for.."My Grampa was.... someone that in words could not be described. He is in a better place now and is missed so so so much already. Early this morning, as all of our family that got the news we have all been dreading, I watched my family drop their heads. For a couple of moments there was complete silence, as if nobody in the room could take in what was just told to us. I felt my heart start to hurt and my throat start to get scratchy when I decided to get up and leave the waiting room full of my family. I walked out into the hallway with Eddie right behind me. And all I can remember is pressing my face into his chest and crying, trying so hard to stop. I finally decided to look up and take a deep breath, then saw my Dad coming towards me. My Dad I can honestly say, is a weak spot for me. He has always been a tough guy, especially for me. If I see him upset, it hurts a part of my heart. After going back and fourth from Eddie to my Dad, crying on both of their chests, my eyes hurt so bad that I couldnt cry anymore. After sitting there in complete distress as to what our family has to cope with now, I would find all of us so upset one moment and then laughing and reminissing on all of the memories we had of our grampa. I can remember when I was little and he would hold all of us grandkids down and draw a watch on our arm with an ink pen. Or when he would pretend that he was going to burn us with his lighter. And when he would paint all of our nails with super glue instead of nail polish when we wanted our nails painted, When he would squeeze my thigh while I was sitting next to him, but when I would laugh so hard,When he went through his phase where he always carried around that camera with him to record everything and everyone around him, When he would go to the dollar store and come and brag about all the stuff he could get for a couple dollars, When I would take a picture and send it to someone, He would say "Wow, you can send that to another phone, no kiddin?", When I would see him driving so slow on the highway with his little dog in the passenger seat, Or when he would ask me If I wanted to buy his dog for 5 bucks. lol There are so many GREAT memories that Im sure each of us has. I will remember my grampa as a strong, wise, lovable, and highly respected man. He is Greatly missed. But at least we know he is doing better and is looking down over us smiling. I Love You Grampa. XOXOXOXOXOXO
UGH!!! Tired!

TIRED!!! :SOk..... so, I am sitting here at home, by myself with nothing to do but watch T.V. and be on my computer. My cousin Christy is at her softball game that I should of went to so I wouldnt be so bored and Eddie is in San Manuel filming my brothers football game. So that leaves me here all by myself updating our blog. To update everyone.... just a couple new things were up to lately. Eddie is still going to school and working full time in Globe, as well as me working full time and going up to Globe to work on Saturdays. By the end of the week we are pretty much exhausted. I LOVE my new job at Bloomingdales/Macy's Credit and Customer service center. I have been there for 5 full weeks. Today was actually my graduation from training. It was hard but I can say I completed the classes with a 98% average. :) I was real excited because I get 9 college credits through Rio Salado College to go towards a BA degree in Organizational management. I like it alot..... Eddie has some projects he has been up to also. He is actually in the process of making highlight films of each football game for Miami High School to distribute to the players as well as any fans that would be interested. He is also working on all of his new pictures and designs to be put on clothing. He is excited, and I know he will accomplish any goal he puts his mind too. Even though it seems like it might not be the right time.... He always seems to figure out how to make it work. So... he has his hands a little full right now. But of course will pay off in the long run. :) It was once said by Napoleon Hill, "Do not wait; the time will never be just right. Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along."
Fun Night Out!!!!
Last weekend Me and my friend Shantel, Eddie and Isaac decided that it would be fun to go out one weekend! So..... we did after the Globe-Miami game on Friday. We ran into some old friends from high school and thought it would be fun to just go and catch up. We had alot of fun on Friday..... nothing to major though..... We just played pool and drank a couple drinks. It was fun hanging out with them....BUT...... Then Saturday we went to watch the UFC fights in the valley and after that we thought we would go out again. FUN TIME... FUN TIME.... we danced and drank.... then went and ate at 3:00am in the morning at IHOP!!! I havent had such a good time in a long time. But after camping.... and going out.....We are both done drinking for a while!! :)
CAMPING...... It was sooooooo much freakin fun. We had a blast. I can actually say that even though we had to rough it and sleep in a tent.... and there was about a twenty degree difference from here.... I cant wait till we can plan the next one next year!!! The first night it was just the three amigos.. Eddie, Me, and Christy. We decided to go up the night before everyone else to get everything set up. On Saturday Adam.... David and his girlfriend showed up to keep us company for the next couple of nights! We BBQ'd and drank and just hung out. The next road trip is SKIING and SNOWBOARDING!!!! Winter is just around the corner! :) YAY!!!!
Well...... coming up on September 2nd is Eddie's 24th Birthday! For his birthday we have been planning on going camping this coming up labor day weekend! We are so excited. We have been looking forward to getting away and just kicking back and relaxing! I am counting down the days! We have decided to go up to a little camping place up on the way to Payson, called Rose Creek. We plan on having alot of fun... playing horse shoes.... drinking.... BBQ-ing, and enjoying being outside. Even though we might not be able to have cake and icecream, I know Eddie is going to enjoy camping for his Birthday! I will be sure to post some pictures when we get back.
Bye for now!!! :)
Well... as you know we decided a couple months back that we were ready to move out on our own and get put into this BIG crazy world that we thought wasn't so bad. It's actually not bad at all. It is just a little bit of a change from little Globe-Miami, but let me tell you, It really has its good points. There are alot of different things to do down here. Everyone knows that. But for the most part everything is going great. Let's just say that everything is finally falling into place.
As you all know we got engaged in December and were planning on getting married in Globe next year in May. But...... there has been a little change in plans. After a couple months of planning and looking at all the different aspects we have decided to change the wedding from Globe.... to a different destination. We know this might not be as accomidating to everyone but have decided that is what we wanted. We have a pretty good idea on where and when this will take place but as of right now..... It's a secret.....:) so we will be updating everyone shortly so you can make plans for that time. Well.... We hope everyone is doing well and can't wait to see or hear from you. Lots of Love.
