Greetings from Nevada! I hope it’s been a great week.
This week started out pretty strong. I had a good week of workouts, a good week of work. I was able to work from home two days this week and I got my nails done. Not a bad start to the week.
Friday, it was an unusual day at work, and I wasn’t as productive as I wanted to be. I had to leave early to get Isaiah to his soccer game. Ben was helping at the high school football game and Isaiah needed to be at soccer at 6:15. I got home in time to grab a quick snack before picking up Isaiah’s friend and then headed to the games.
Isaiah played really well! He played keeper for the entire first game. They won the game 3-2. The second game, they played exceptionally well. Isaiah was even able to come out of the goal before the end of the first half. Within a couple of minutes of playing forward wing, he scored a goal. It was super exciting! They won that game by a lot, though I’m not sure of the final score.
We got everyone home from the game and I relaxed on the couch for a few minutes, then headed to bed. When I woke up on Saturday morning, my good week took a nose dive.
My wonderful, amazing, loving Grandma passed away. To say I am crushed is an understatement. She would have been 92 on May 2. She had a long, happy, love-filled, wonderful life and she was ready to go home to the lord. I have no doubts that my Papaw and sister were there to meet her at the gates to Heaven with open arms.
I was able to chat with my mom and reminisce about some wonderful memories with Grandma. Then, throughout the day, I spent more time going through memories of my Grandma in my head. I shared some stories with my brother-in-law and his girlfriend when they came over for dinner.
After dinner, we played the game Telestrations, which is so much fun. We all had so much fun, laughing at how our initial words and images were changed and manipulated as they went through eight players. They took some seriously funny turns sometimes. Every once-in-a-while, they stayed pretty close to what they started as. The game is like a fun mix of the telephone game and Pictionary. We ended the game when Analise’s clue “ping pong” carried through the entire round.
Even though Saturday started out pretty rough, it ended on a fun note. And I can’t stop thinking about how happy I am that my Grandma is no longer suffering and she was reunited with her husband of 56 years (before he passed away). I’m sure it was such a beautiful reunion.
Until next week, make it a great one!
Amy
