Ok this is the next week starting with Saturday night.
So I got home around 6:30pm that night and unpacked. My parents and sister were flying in to spend the week in FL. They got in around 7 and I met them at the condo where they were staying for the week. I got there and we ordered pizza and just relaxed. Everyone was tired. The next day Em and I slept in until 2pm which was SO wonderful since I had not done that in forever and just had two nights where I was up until around 3am. We spent Sunday hanging around the condo and went grocery shopping. I ended up going back to my house since I wasn’t sure what the traffic was going to be like to get to work. So while I was at work Monday the family just laid around the pool and dad went fishing. I went over to the condo after work that night and we were making dinner when we got a call from the nursing home that my grandma had passed away. At that point all hell kind of broke loose. Tuesday Dad and Emily came and painted the intake bathroom and Mom and Emily came on Wednesday and the three of us went shopping for towels and such. The bathroom is gorgeous and Jane is absolutely thrilled with it. I am in the process of doing something similar in the intake room and the walls around the reception desk.
Thursday mom, dad, and Emily went to epcot and I worked. Then Friday I went over to the condo after work. I was going to fly home with them on Saturday for the funeral. On Saturday our check out time was 11 but we didn’t need to be at the airport until around 4pm. So we just laid by the pool for several hours. It was nice. I got some sun. Well I got sunburnt actually. So we flew home and mom’s friends picked us up at the airport. The next 6 days were a whirlwind of plan making, people and pretty much stuff that I didn’t want to deal with. Monday I had the chance to spend a few hours with my good friends Lauren. We met or lunch at Paradise bakery, then went shopping, and got our nails done. It was wonderful to see her. I miss her terribly and it was a nice distraction from the events. Afterwards I went over and hung out with Kami for a couple hours and talked with her and saw her kids.
The funeral was absolutely beautiful and def what my grandma would have wanted. She did plan it all herself after all. I said two verses at the service and then read a poem at the graveside. I flew back to Orlando on Thursday and went back to work on Friday.
Friday night, Lauren, Chaleece, Chaleece’s cousin, Amanda, and I went to a piano bar in downtown Disney. I was a dueling pianos thing. People wrote down their requests and put them along with a tip on the piano and the guys played the songs. The guys playing were hilarious and they played some really good stuff. We all had a lot of fun and didn’t get home until 2am. Saturday Lauren, Amanda, Neal, and I went to Tampa. Lauren, Amanda, Neal, and Jonathan went to Busch Gardens and I stayed at home and was a couch potato. The next morning the 5 of us drove to Ft. Meyers to see a Twins vs. Red Sox spring training game. It was fun, I’m not a big baseball fan but I enjoyed the company and the weather was nice. We drove back to Tampa after the game dropped Jonathan of and then drove home. In all we spent a total of 7 out of 24 hours in the car and since we took my car needless to say I was sick of driving by the end of the weekend.
