So thankful....

Well today is a very thankful day for me because it marks the 5th year anniversary of my car accident. Some people will think that it sure seems like a long time ago, but for me it just seems like yesterday. I feel like after this year, October 29 will just be another day for me. This is the first time I have actually worked on this day since then. I don't want it to be a big thing for me anymore. Okay now I know some of you might be thinking it is a big day for me because something very tragic happened on this day, but I think that I kind of need to move on from it. For those of you who know me pretty well, you know that I don't really care for the emotional stuff. If today is just another day in my book then it will take away some of the emotional feelings I feel on this day. Sadly enough I have already cried once this morning. Afterwards I thought that I shouldn't be sad, but happy that God granted me more time here on earth. Today my parents wanted to see me so they are taking me to lunch and dinner, but next year I will go about my everyday routine with no interruptions relating to my accident. This may all sound really weird to you guys so sorry about that. Okay so enough of that talk. I get to go to San Antonio this weekend and see my wonderful grandparents. I am so excited. I love to visit them. Time means more now because my grandad has prostate cancer. It is a cancer that will outlive him so they are not too worried about it. He did 40 some odd teatments of radiation and hopefully that will be enough for now. They will go in and recheck sometime soon. I love my grandparents so much and can't even stand the thought of losing them. I lost my grandmother 6 years ago and that was really tough. Other then the cancer thing, they are all in good health. So today I am very thankful for so many things in my life.

I'm going to have a nephew!

So I went to Lubbock this past weekend for the Texas Tech/Nebraska game. Wasn't that a nailbiter??? It is funny because almost all of one side of my family lives in Nebraska so one would think I would route for them right? Well, I routed for Tech. My sister and brother in law both graduated from there. I was very happy they won. It was a nice family gathering because I drove up with my mom and then we met my uncle, cousin, his wife, and their 2 kids there. I don't get to see them very often so it was a pleasure spending time with them. I also got to see my precious friend Lindsay, who I hadn't seen in over 5 years. During that time she got married and had 2 kids. I was so happy to meet all 3 of them. We didn't get to spend a heck of a lot of time together, but that was okay, because even 5 minutes would have been good enough for me. When we got back on Sunday, I wasn't feeling very well and I ended up staying home from work on Monday. The stomach flu is the worst. It ended up being okay though because I got a call from my sister that afternoon telling me that they found out they are having a little boy. That made my day so much better. His name is going to be Brody Journey Lewis. They decided on that a long time ago. I suppose they are sticking with it because they are telling everyone about the name. I had my sister over for dinner last night and her belly really popped up. I have been taking monthly pictures to document the growth and I took one last week and it was still pretty flat. I guess it just happened overnight between last week and last night. She looks so cute. She said she is really starting to feel the whole pregnancy thing and she didn't say it in a happy tone. Hopefully it will get better for her. I still haven't wrapped my mind around the thought that she is going to have a kid in March. My life is very full right now.

DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA.....

As you get older, isn't the drama supposed to stop with your friends? I guess not. I honestly feel like I am in high school again. I just can't do it anymore. I am too old for this. I suppose I need to buck up and tell my friends that I am out of it and not to tell me anything. It has nothing to do with me yet I feel so drained from hearing everything and giving advice. I guess the thing to do is just say no. This blog was pointless, sorry, just needed to vent a little.

First Time Out of the Gate

Okay so my friends really wanted me to start a blog so that I would have links for other blogs. I tried to explain to them that I have nothing to blog about. I'm not getting married anytime soon and I'm not pregnant. I really don't live that exciting of a life. Well, I am giving it a shot. Here's whats going on now in my life. I will be a first time aunt in March so maybe I can post pictures of my little nice or nephew when they come. I am so excited to be an aunt. I really thought this day would never come. My sister and her husband have been married for about 3 years so I really thought they would wait a little longer. I really thought that since my sister just started her first year of teaching. Well, I of course was wrong. Let me explain how I was told I was going to be an aunt. This was mid July and I was at work and it was about 3:00PM. I get a call from my sister which I thought was weird because she never calls me during the week at this time because she is at work. When I answered she asked if I was alone. I immediately thought someone had died. That was legit to think since she asked if I as alone right? Well, she thought it was weird that my mind went there and assured me it was a good thing. She then just blurted out that they were pregnant. I really didn't know what to say because that was not what I was expecting to come out of her mouth. I was in floored. Of course I was happy though. That was the best news I had heard in a long time. The little bundle of joy is due in the spring and I really cannot wait. From what happened 5 years ago, I almost wasn't here to see this but I am and I feel very blessed. I would put the sonogram picture below but seeing as I am new to this. I have no idea how. I will learn soon enough....be patiend. :)
