You know what would be really great?

...If one month could go by without someone in my family going into the hospital...that would be fantastic.

HEROES!!!!

So I watched the NBC show "Heroes" tonight...it was soooooo good! I have never watched it before, but decided to tonight just for lack of better things to watch. Originally, I was only going to watch because....ahem...there is a very good looking guy on the show. This is Milo Ventimiglia...very yummy. He also played Jess on "Gilmore Girls" way back when. Anyways, considering Milo's character was asleep for the majority of the show I was a little disappointed. However, after actually watching the show I am officially on LOVE with it. It is so funny and suspenseful. There is a character on the show named Hiro (lol-coincidence...I think not) and he is so hilarious. Most of the time he speaks only in Chinese, so when he speaks in English, he has the stereotypical Asian guy accent. The fact that I am a complete nerd and happen to have a love for sci fi movies and tv makes it all so much better. I really haven't liked NBC since FRIENDs and Will and Grace went off the air, but I think it's coming back. Now I am watching Studio 60, which also seems like it will be a good show. Too bad I found this out halfway through the season.

Anyways, if anyone else loves this show...tell me. I really need to be caught up on what happened the first half of the season.

I can't feel the bottom half of my mouth....or my tongue. not fun. I went to the dentist because when I was there 2 weeks ago he said I had two very tiny cavities that were so small he wouldn't even have to use novacine. sure ok fine-made the appointment to come in today. Went in today and the dentist informs me that, when taking a second look at my xrays, found another cavity on the other side of my mouth. This one was still very tiny, but the dentist said he decided to give me some novacaine just so I wouldn't feel any pain. 4 shots and 15 minutes later I can't feel my mouth. He drills, fills, etc...and then! he finds another tiny cavity (tiny is his word by the way) and asks if he should go ahead and fill it. Sure-I already can't feel my mouth so go ahead. Drills one more time and I'm done. Now I'm supposed to go workout in an hour and I still can't feel my mouth. No good.

School starts tomorrow and I am actually very excited! I have been bored out of mind for about a week and a half, so some mental stimulation will do me good. Although I only have one class tomorrow, so I'm going slowly back into the whole school thing. My life is boring because all I talk about is school so I think I'll post some pictures just for the heck of it:

This one is of my Perkins cousins and second cousins...at least some of them anyways. Heather is missing, and so are Kevin and Amy-although I know they were there so I'm not sure why they aren't in the picture. The only one of my Aunt Bunny's kids who is there is Chris, and her 3 kids, but Bunny's other two daughters and their kids are missing.

This one is of just my second cousins on the Stratton side (although there are a few cousins mixed in there). I think most of them are pictured...but some may be missing.

These are my Stratton cousins. I believe 5 or so are missing, plus there are no spouses pictured.

And lastly just my immediate family...my mom made it balck and white and it looks pretty cool. The kids look silly, but adorable as always.

OK-that's all. I have to go prepare myself for school tomorrow.

Reading is fun!

I went and got my books today...so far there are 16 books for 3 classes, and at least 4 for the two other classes that the books weren't in for. Amy asked me to post the book list for my Contemporary Women Writers class so here it is:

• Nickel and Dimed By Barbara Ehrenreich


• Written on the Body By Jeanette Winterson


• Human Croquet By Kate Atkinson


• How the Garcia Girls Lost their Accents By Julia Alvarez


• Yo! By Julia Alvarez


• The House on Mango Street By Sandra Cisneros


• My One Night Stand with Cancer By Tania Katan

If anyone has ever read any of these books, or other books by these authors let me know! I'd love to get some reviews!

Has anyone ever heard the story of Tania Katan? It is an amazing story that one of my professors shared with us last semester. Tania was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 21 and had a mastectomy. When she was 31 she was again diagnosed with breast cancer and had her other breast removed. Since then, she has run three 10k breast cancer marathons...topless. Shocking huh? Since she has no breasts, she runs them holding a sign that says "This is what breat cancer really looks like". It's amazing to me. I don't think anyone I know has the courage to do something like that. I know I don't. I found a picture of her:

I couldn't find the one of her actually running the marathon. Anyways, I thought I'd share this incredible story with you.

I will also be reading a Foucault reader for Political Theory and "What Color is My Parachute?" for Adult Career Development, among many others for those classes as well. I'm pretty excited for the semester to start actually. It will be stressful as always, but I think my classes will be awesome! I know, I know-I'm a nerd...it's in my blood.

Lots on my mind recently...making me not be able to sleep...

I'm not sick anymore...yay! just in time to go work out tomorrow w/ our trainer...fun stuff :) actually, it really is fun and I know it's helping me reach my goals, but i still have to force the lazy bum inside myself to keep going. at least i have a good trainer...

One of my friends just got engaged...it's funny because he's the guy I never expected to get engaged, simply because he never thought he would meet the right girl. I'm happy that he has though :)

I feel pretty useless lately...not working will do that to you. I actually started thinking today about how I should've worked at Petsmart over break....then I regained my sanity. :)

Hope Floats is a great movie...and Harry Conick Jr looks goooood in a cowboy hat!.....yummy....

OK-sorry for the boredom everyone...maybe I'll go to bed now... :)

ahahahahaha...this made me laugh....

"Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals. "

in other news, I'm sick. Just woke up this morning and BAM! sickness. Kinda stinks. I'm pumped full of drugs though so hopefully it won't get too bad. At least I am sick now though instead of a week from now when I'll be starting school again....that happened to me last year and was not fun!

Almost finished another scrap page too. I love it when I actually have the time to scrap...once school starts I probably wont have another chance to until summer....maybe spring break.

Tomorrow should be a fun day...going to the Deer Valley wrestling tourni in the morning to see a bunch of people I haven't seen in awhile. Then my grandma's birthday party in the afternoon which should be fun. AND Davis gets his truck tomorrow!!! Yay! Possibly hanging out with Danielle in the evening because she leaves for Tucson in the morning..boo. lol

ok-that's it for now. Time to go take nyquil and go to bed!

Late night!

You know what excites me to no end? Conan O'Brien is now on immediately after Jay Leno....no more 15 year old episodes of Cheers in between. It's amazing. Normally this wouldn't be so exciting-but since I'm on break I actually stay up late enough to watch these shows! I LOVE Conan, but it's very rare during school that I stay up to watch it (when it began at 12am). Whenever I was actually up that late it was doing homework-not watching TV. Anyways-that was my happy todbit for the day.

Oh-and I did two scrapbook pages today. Only 3 left and I am completely caught up! yay!

Do you ever get that feeling that you are the only person on the outside of the circle? The only one who isn't involved and isn't around? It seems like I'm always being left out and not being invited. Does that sound like a 2-year old thing to say? Probably, but I don't care. I have this group of friends that I have hung out with throughout highschool, more recently towards the end of high school. Alot of them I have been friends with since elementary school or middle school. These are people I always thought I could depend on, call if I needed to talk. And yes-going off to college has changed everyone some. However, it is amazing how everyone still gets invited to parties and get togethers, but I don't. Or should I say we don't, because this involves Davis also. It almost like they get together and decide they don't want us to be around. Paranoid? Probably, but once again I don't care. I'm so sick of being forgotten and left on the outside. What did we ever do? Did we piss someone off enough to end our friendships? I don't think so. Now I have been through this before-could we call and ask people what their plans are? Sure, but I am not a big fan of inviting myself along to things I am not really wanted at. Can we call and invite people to do things? Tried it, we either don't get called back or they are always busy. I guess I'm just tired of it all. I'm tired of thinking I've done something wrong. And I'm sad to say that I have almost no friends who actually care about me anymore. It's a really good feeling....

A New Year

2007 huh? I was trying to remember my 2006 resolutions and I can't. I guess that means I didn't keep them! 2006 brought alot of changes my way. The biggest of all was my decision not to stay at NAU, but to instead transfer down to Phoenix and go to ASU West. At the time, I wasn't sure it was the right decision. I had many reasons for doing so (no matter what other people thought my reasons were), but I was still unsure. I now know without a doubt that it was the right thing for me to do. I was unhappy there, and it just wasn't the right fit. Honestly, I went up there for the wrong reasons in the first place. After my first semester at ASU West, I have a 4.0 gpa and made a bunch of new friends. I love the smallness of the campus. I got enough grant and scholarship money so that I don't have to work...yay! Living at home had proved to be a real blessing. I thought after being on my own for a year that there was no way I would be able to stand living at home. However, me and my parents (especially my mom) have become so much closer, and our relationship has improved tenfold. Plus, other than a few expenses I have, it's almost cost-free. All in all, I am 100% happier down here than I was in Flagstaff and that's what matters most.

That was my biggest event this past year. There have been minor ones along the way, such as finally quitting my job at Petsmart after almost 2 years and possibly adding a double minor to my school load, but other than that it was a fairly uneventful year. My biggest hope for 2007 is for the health and wellness of myself, my family, and my friends. My grandma has been in the hospital 4 times in the past 2 month, including over the Christmas holiday, and I am worried about her. I hope that she is healthy enough to be with us another year of more, but I am afraid that won't happen. At this point I am just wanting her to be happy and pain free. Davis has not had the best of luck this year, especially recently with his engine blow out and then his accident, and now he's in the process of looking for another vehicle. He is stressed out and getting discouraged, but still trying to be positive. I hope his luck improves...especially in terms of winning a fishing tournament or two. I have many friends who will be making major life changes this coming year, most in terms of either marriage, children, or different living arrangements. No matter what my feelings on these things are, I can only wish them the utmost happiness in their new lives.

And then there's me....what are my new year's resolutions? Every year I say 'what's the point?' but every year I do it anyways. I have some small ones-such as keeping my grades up, getting my scholarship renewed, and getting an internship. But I have two big ones also. The first is my exercise/health/weight loss goals. I have set some small goals along the way, hopeing to reach my final one by at least me and Davis's 4 year anniversary in July, but hopefully sooner than that. Luckily, my mom and I are doing this one together so I have a built in support system right here at home. Second is to make a career decision. At the moment I am leaning towards government type work....but I'm still unsure. My mom brought up the point this morning that I don't have to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life, just what I want to do after college. This is true, and one of the main reasons I chose Sociology as a major. I tend to get bored doing one thing for too long, so unless I find a job I absolutely love right out of college, I plan on making a few career changes throughout my life. But I still would like to narrow my ideas down slightly, so that I can begin preparing.

So that's it really...my recap for the year. I hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve, I know I did. I wish everyone happiness throughout the coming year! :)

Telluride!

So 6 days in beautiful Colorado (2 spent driving) and now I'm home. It was wonderful as always. his is my FOURTH year going with Davis and his family, which I think is pretty cool. And since

Amy got mad for never posting pics on my blogs I guess I will this time. There aren't any pictures from when we were actually skiing, simply because it is way to hard to get a camera out when it is freezing and snowing and you have two pairs of gloves on. :) The pretty tree below is right outside our hotel room.

Saturday was spent driving....and driving...and more driving. It takes about 8-9 hours to get to Telluride from Phoenix. We got to walk around Mountain Village a little bit, which is a town right on the slopes by Telluride.

Sunday was going to be our first day skiing (we were going to ski 3 out of the 4 days we were there), but it was snowing so we decide we would ski the next 3 days instead. These two pictures are from walking around Telluride. There are no chain stores of any kind in town, so all of the shopd are very original. You can see where the mountain is supposed to be, but due to the snow/fog it's hardly visible. I LOVE the town though....it looks like the little towns you see inside snowglobes.

Me and Davis's tradition every year is to make a snowman, and then have a snowball fight, and this year was no different. Our snowmen are always fat, and weird looking, because the snow there does not stick very well. We end up just making a pile of snow and carving out top middle and bottom. This year was our best one yet though....his name is Bob.

Monday was our first day skiing and it was wonderful!!! We went all day, only stopping for lunch. I'm getting to the point where I can almost keep up with Davis! We went out to a coll litlle pizza place called Brown Dog Pizza, named because of the dog that always sits out front of the restaurant.

Now Tuesday was not so good. It started snowing Monday night and it was pouring snow on Tuesday. Everyone else had goggles they could ski with so the snow wouldn't get in their eyes, but I only have little sunglasses, which protect nothing. I could've bought some, but the cheapest ones were $80 and I didn't want to spend that much. So the rest of the fam went skiing, and Davis stayed behind with me (sweet kid huh? He said he didn't want me to be by myself all day). We went and walked around Mountain Village again. The coolest part of that was the gondola ride to Mountain Village from Telluride. The first picture is a shopping center in the Village, the second is a view of Telluride from the Gondola. The gondola is much like a ski lift, except you are enclosed in a little capsule. It takes you all the way across the mountain...so pretty! Davis kept getting scared because the Gondola would stop and start swaying back and forth....he's cute. The ice skating pond was buried in about a foot of snow by this point. All the trees looked like a postcard! When we got back we had another snowball fight and stayed cozy by the fire the rest of the time. That night we ate at Fat Alley's, a cool little hamburger place in town.

Wednesday....still snowing...alot. But I dealt with it because I had to go skiing!! It was foggy and scary, and I couldn't see half the time becuase me glasses were foggy. It was fun though. We did some harder runs and I was proud becuase I didn't fall! This picture is me, Davis, his bro Justin, and Justin's girlfriend Jackie at the bottom of the mountain. That night we ate at Smuggler's, which is a restaurant that had it's own brewery downstairs. We eat there every year, and every year it's good. This year I had cheese ravioli with marinara sauce! YUM!!!

Thursday was the long drive home. It was a beautiful day out- no snow and lots of sun...perfect for skiing. Oh well. For those of you who have heard about the blizzard that shut down Denver...we got the beginnings of that storm. It literally snowed from Monday late afternoon until late Wednesday night nonstop. Telluride got about 2-3 feet of snow in that 3 day period. Insanity. These icicles were about 6 inches long the day we arrived...the day we left they were a couple of feet long!

And now I'm home!!! Normally I wouldn't be so excited, but my Christmas starts today! Me and Davis are making a ginger bread house today, the later going to decorate cookies with his Grandma. Tomorrow is the Perkins Christmas, then xmas eve and xmas day!!! yay!! Hope you all enjoyed my incredibly long post!!! I'll leave you with a beautiful picture of the mountain from the day we left...the wind was blowing the snow of the top of the mountain...so pretty!

Off to the Slopes

Well I am off to go skiing for 6 days in Telluride, CO!!! We actually leave tomorrow and are back the 21st. I am so excited!!!!! I will have many many pictures when I return! :)

Perfection

My friend Theresa posted this on her blog...I'm not positive if she wrote it or not, but either way it is pretty cool....and very true.

"The Perfect Man...

Now, I have heard that the "perfect man" doesn't exist, by a number of highly respectable people. But Pleaaasse, send my apologies to Oprah because I refuse to submit to this nonsense. The perfect man DOES exist, and he's not as hard to find as people think!

What women today need to do is reassess their definitions of "Perfection". It seems that "Perfect" is all too often being mistaken for "WORSHIP" and when a woman "feels" that she is no longer the literal source of her boyfriend/husband/significant other's oxygen intake, He doesn't "appreciate" her anymore and should be imeddiately burnt at the stake.

I am sorry, maybe I am not up to date on the "How to be a snot-faced-hard-to-Deal-with-everybody-hates me- Princess manual" But ladies, through the course of history science had proven a number of highly remarkable things, one of which, is that you're boyfriend can inhale on his own. It's called the respiratory system, and its main function is to ensure that your lovie is breathing, whether he is with YOU or not.

I don't mean be harsh, but women would be a lot happier if they would just recognize that all men aren't the devil. They need to Stop watching all these soap operas and movies, that portray the PERFECT man as being someone who would literally walk bare foot one-hundred miles through the worse snow storm of the century, while singing "you are my sunshine", just to retrieve the left sock that you PURPOSELY left at your grandmothers.

It's not going to happen ladies...Only a moron would even attempt a task such as that. And for those girls who are like, "my boyfriend would do that for ME!" You're wrong, or at least let's hope you're wrong. Because if he would, that would make your boyfriend an Idiot, and we all know that the "perfect man" can't be that!

No, he has to be a genius, the kind of Doogie Houser genius. This way, you and your friends will never be capable of having a real conversation with him because through out the two years you were in beauty school, you never attained a FRACTION of the intelligence he acquired in the eight years at Harvard Medical School. (That's a winner.) So, six months later when you're feeling useless, unappreciated, and heaven forbid, normal, you're going to hate him for not acknowledging that you are in fact the female equivalent to God, and thus should be treated like a God, not as though you could possibly be like anyone else every brought into existence!
Puh-leasss ladies, read the following carefully, because if you can store even the smallest bit information that is written below, you may have a chance at happiness in love, which will result in the happiness in life….

The perfect man isn't a genius, he doesn't hang on your every word, and he doesn't do EVERYTHING you ask of him. He is in fact normal, and he will probably forget your anniversary or birthday at least once in your life. He will probably break something trying to fix it, he will probably lock the kids in the car a couple of times, and he will DEFINITELY say the wrong things. But you have realize that it's the flaws in a man that will make him "perfect". It's the fact that you CAN have a real conversation with him, without feeling stupid and that he DOES treat you like a normal person. It's that every time you're with him, you get to laugh at his mistakes, his lousy jokes, and the stupid things that he tries, but doesn't successfully achieve, doing for YOU. It's the fact that he'll tell you, "NO" or that YOU are being ridiculous, that YOU are over-reacting, that YOUR cooking is HORRIBLE, lol… and that it's okay, because to him, it's YOUR flaws that make YOU perfect."

No more school for Lisa!

I just had a meeting with my academic advisor...dun dun dun. No-it went very well actually. She said I am all on track to graduate in Spring 2008, as long as I take 15 credits the rest of the time I'm here, which shouldn't be a problem. The GREAT news is that she said I don't have to go to grad school. Everyone had always told me that as a sociology major I should go to grad school. My advisor said that unless I want to teach or do research it is not important that I go. So...I'm not going to. :) I have no desire to spend 2 more years in school after I get my BA. Plus, I can always go back to grad school if I decide that I really want to later on. However, I am considering adding on another minor in Special Events Management, so that means I wouldn't graduate until December 2008. I'm just excited that I am soooooo very close to being done with school. At most I have 4 semesters left, but possibly as few as 3! Oh-I decided I am going to take that Contemporary Women Writers course instead of Religions of the World, so that I can get some upper division credits out of the way. OK-time to go to class and listen to some very boring presentations. Last day of this class though-and no final! Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Oh and btw- Brad Paisley has a Christmas CD coming out! I can't wait! Someone better get it for me (ahem...Davis...ahem...)

Oh School....

So I changed my schedule today for about the fiftieth time since registering a month ago. When I first registered I was taking Politcal Theory, Contemporary Women Writers, Social Statistics, Women, Power & Politics, and Current Issues in National Politics. Then my advisor said I should take Adult Career Development in order to help me decide what I want to do with my life (blah!). Added that, dropped Current Issues. Then I decided my schedule was fairly difficult and I wanted to lighten my load slightly. So I added Religions of the World (a 100-level course), and dropped Women Writers (a 400-level course). I was satisfied, except that the last switch made a huge gap in my schedule. I was going to add an internship, but was told I can't do that until next fall. Then yesterday a girl who I talk to in one of my classes said she finally registered for classes, and one of the ones she signed up for was Women Writers. When I had first signed up for that course, I didn't know who was teaching it. Now I find out that it is being taught by a prosfessor that I have now that I like and who is extremely easy as far as coursework goes. So today I added Women Writers back to my schedule, hoping that the professor is as easy in this course as she is in the one I'm taking now. However, I am not dropping Religions yet. That class is full so if I decide to drop it there is no going back. I may go to both on the first day and see which I like better, and drop the one with the most work....is that bad? eh-who cares? lol anways-this is extremely random and is another example of me being one the most indecisive people on the face of the Earth.

In other (school) news- I got my 15pg term paper back today....dun dun dun! I got an A!! yay! I was very nervous about it so I'm ecstatic I did well. And I got a 100% on a final presentation I had to do (in the class with the Women Writers professor!) All in all-lokking good going into finals! woo-hoo!

In other (non-school) news- my life is boring. We put up our Xmas tree and decorations! There is already a large pile of presents under the tree, and I thankfully have almost all of my shopping done...just a few little things left to buy. I am soooo excited for Christmas. I get four in a row! The 23rd w/ my mom's family, Xmas eve w/ my dad's family, Xmas morning w/ immediate family (parents, sis, etc), and Xmas afternoon with Davis's family. A fun filled holiday! Then right after Christmas I believe my mom and I are going to go visit my dad in San Antonio for a few days, so that'll be interesting...I've never been to Texas. Oh-and I can't forget that the 16th-21st I'll be skiing in Telluride, CO! I love wintertime-it is so fun filled and relieves all the stress of the prior semester!

OK-nice quick update on me! Going fishing tomorrow and then we have our 2nd tournament on Saturday-hopefully we catch some big fish and make a lot of money...lol. We'll see....

Reason #645790300729 that my boyfriend is the best boyfriend in the whole world

He brought me dinner tonight....

My parents abandoned me and I was extremely stressed out about this term paper I have due tomorrow. I had no clue what I was gonna do for dinner. Normally I would've just gone to his house, but with this paper due I had to stay home and work on it. He came over without me even asking him to. He brought me pork chops, rice, applesauce, salad, and cookies for dessert. He said we should've lit candles and had a mini romantic dinner...on paper plates :) It was plenty romantic for me though. It's the little things like this that make me fall in love with him all over again. OK-sappiness over now. But it's true...he's amazing... <3

Disgusting!

Has everyone heard of OJ Simpson's new book? The title is something to the effect of "If I killed her, this is how I would've done it". Basically he might as well be confessing to his wife's murder! He's just spitting on the american justice system for aquitting an obviously guilty man. What's even worse, is that people (such as the publisher) are actually making money off of this! FOX is supposedly (man i have NO idea how to spell that!lol) airing a special showcasing OJ and the new book. My mom is trying to get people to boycott FOX if they actually go through with the special. I definatly agree. Anyone willing to have this disgusting excuse for a man on their network doesn't deserve to be watched. I love Barabra Walters because she refused to do an interview with OJ when she heard what the book is about. You go girl :)

Thanks!

so everyone must've been praying for my grandma because she is so much better already.

the doctors discovered that she didn't have sepsis after all. She actually had extreme dehydration from some drainage and medication they gave her when she was in the hospital last week. The dehydration did cause her kidneys to fail, but the doctors are sure they can reverse it. I am so happy. She is still extremely weak and is not out of the woods yet, but she will be getting some much needed rest by staying in the hospital until the end of the weekend.

so thank you to everyone who reads this and said some prayers. i truly believe it helped because we really thought we might lose her on monday..someone must be watching over her.

Good news, bad news

which would you like first...the good news or the bad news? I'm gonna start with the good news...

I got a 99% on my American Presidency exam (highest in the class!), an A- on my history paper, and 100% on both of my Women's studies papers. woo-hoo! i was pretty dang excited. These grades put me in a much better pre-final position than before.

now the bad news...

my grandma stratton was in the hospital on thursday night because she was short of breath, among other things. She ended up being in the hospital until Saturday morning and was then discharged. All weekend she did nothing but sleep and eat a little. This morning my aunt called to check in and she was incoherent and began vommiting. My other aunt went to see her and called 911 because she couldn't even get her into the car. After many hours of sitting in the hospital, the doctors are saying she has sepsis and acute renal failure. After doing some research, I found out the sepsis is basically an infection of the bloodstream, caused by bacteria entering the bloodstream. It is one of the major causes of death among the hospitalized elderly. Chances are she got it while in the hospital a few days ago, when her immune system was weak. Sepsis also causes major organ dysfunstion, hence the acute renal failure (non med terms-her kidneys are failing). The good part of this is that sepsis can be treated with large doses of antibiotics, and acute kidney failure can be reversed. We are just all hoping that the doctors caught them in time, and will be able to "fix" them. My grandparents were supposd to be moving into a new house this weekend...which is stressing my grandma out even more.

You know what is so amazing though? My grandparents have been married for 50 years, and they are so in love that each one is worrying so much about the other instead of themselves. While visiting my grandma on Thursday, all she could think about was making someone was at their house taking care of my grandpa (who we think has the begininnings of Alzheimers). She called to talk to him, and she was making sure he got his ice cream, made sure my uncle was turning on Jay Leno for him to watch, and that he took all of his pills. She made sure she said 'i love you' more than once. The one thing i will always remember about them is that they always say i love you and kiss eachother goodbye whenever they leave eachother. They both had failed marriages before they found eachother-and have loved eachother for 50 years. isn't that amazing? i truly believe they are soulmates. My grandpa today was constantly asking when he could go to the hospital to see my grandma and make sure she was ok. We couldn't keep him away if we tried. When he got there he sat by her side for awhile and made sure she really was ok before he left. It honestly makes me want to cry to think about an amazing relationship like that. they have truly set the standards that all of their grandchildren will look to find in their relationships. my grandma told me the other day she thinks i found it...i think so too.

anyways- i guess their is always good that comes with the bad and vice versa. I am not and have never considered myself to be a religious person, but I ask anyone who reads this to please pray for my grandma. I know that if she dies, my grandpa won't live long either, because they simply cannot live without eachother. so please say a quick prayer tonight and in the days to come for my grandma.
