Good News and Bad news

Well I have good news and bad news today… the good is that I am actually getting a work baby shower and I am SUPER excited!!!   It should help Paul and I out a lot by getting things for the baby! Still part of me wants to know what we are having & the other part wants to wait… I’ll be 31 weeks friday so 9 weeks left! YAY   The shower will be April 19th so I will have to try to remember my camera and have someone take pictures for me. Also it will be at work with all the residents. (I have to work that day anyways so I get paid for a shower ) My boss will be in between trips and I guess she’s excited about it, her and the woman planning it (Jill) have a lot of idea’s. They are going to include the residents and there will be an early dinner so it should be wonderful & like I said I am SUPER excited. Now I don’t feel alone and like I have to do everything and get everything myself… the help will be nice. I’m glad I’m getting one.

The bad news… my grandpa passed away yesterday. He was 59 years old, would be 60 today. It hasn’t really hit me that he is gone. I think partly cause I am not in Arizona and I’m sure once I go and realize he’s not there it will be hard for me. (There was NO way I was wasting a plane ticket after spending so much money on it and I don’t think I can get a refund cause I didn’t have any protection on it) It JUST hit me that he was sick like 2 days ago and I started crying so I think it will take me a while to realize that he is gone. At least he’s in a better place and he doesn’t have cancer anymore and he’s not suffering. He doesn’t have to fight anymore and he can look down on us and I know he will always be there. My Grandma’s sister answered the phone today when I called. I had no idea what happened to my grandpa, I was at a friend’s house yesterday & didn’t answer my phone when my dad called (the drama queen) and I didn’t answer when my sister called either cause I didn’t want to know at the time. My sister has been calling an annoying 3 times in a row A LOT lately and I’m going to tell her to stop unless it’s an emergency cause sometimes I am at work when she calls, and I don’t wanna turn my phone off in cause Paul calls. Anyways so today I called my grandparents house to wish Grandpa a happy birthday and I asked how he was and she told me he passed yesterday at 5:20. She told me that she called and left me a message but there was NO message on my phone so she must have me confused with someone else. Anyways she then said "And your grandma’s sleeping" so I thanked her and hung up. After that I checked my e-mail and there was an e-mail saying that grandpa passed away… she sent that not called! Oh well… like I said he’s in a great place now where he can see his great grandbaby be born! I know he will always be with me and that’s what matters! I know I am taking this well now but give it a while and it will sink in… this is the first grandparent I lost… it will be harder after this.

So that’s all for now… Nothing else new besides those 2 things that I had to share!
