Milestones and Grave makers
It's been while since I've updated this thing, so here goes.
I've been doing a lot of reflecting on the past year. I'm not sure the exact reasons why, but I have a lot to reflect on. That stuff will come later though.
This past month has been pretty busy, and it's been fun for the most part. This weekend was odd though. I spent Friday out with friends and saw the Da Vinci Code. Good movie... I went to my cousin's Mikes graduation party on Sunday. I was able to coax Oscar into going with me too so he could meet my dads side of the family. He didn't seem to have a terrible time.
I was suppose to go to my other cousin Eric's graduation party Sunday too, but decided not to. I got to see him on Monday though.
Monday was my cousin Jessie's funeral. 28 years old and gone. Leaving behind a 4 year old son and a husband. Along with a sister, who is still grieving their mother's death from breast cancer. It was tough seeing her there in the casket, especially when you least expect it.
My whole family has grown tired of getting together at a funeral home. Even though it's upsetting to think this, but death is a part of life. A funeral home is a place you're going to have to take step in. Sure, it's terrible that it's been this often with my family, but there's nothing you can do about it.
That's enough with the sadness.
This week might be a little busy for me. I'm working 5 days in a row, which I'm not used to. I'm working right now and start my regular schedule tomorrow. They've also given me another trainee. It's pretty nice, and it makes me feel like hot stuff! Okay, maybe not to that extreme, but it makes me feel semi-important. Speaking of work... today it's my 1 year anniversary with Comair. Yay to me for putting up with this company for a year! Ha! Just kidding. I do really like my job!
As for the relationship front, everything is going really well. I've grown more in love with Oscar than I could have ever expected! I've started the process of taking showing him off to the family, and I've been getting awesome responses from them. My parents like him a lot and treat him like their own already.
Like I said before, I've been reflecting on the past a lot. I was going through some old papers in my crap drawer and found my speeding ticket. It's was the ticket I got the first night I met Oscar, which was 5/24/05. So, I'll be a year tomorrow when we met each other. After seeing that, I grew obsessed with reading my past livejournal entries. I was such a dork!!! And I know I'll read this one a while down the road and be like "What was I thinking!?"
Maybe I was reflecting on the past because I was think about the future. I tend to do that a lot. I try to remember where I thought where I was going to be at this time a year ago, and compare it to where I am now. And honestly, I haven't done bad at all!
That's all from me tonight. I need to get stuff together so I can get out of work on time.
Tata!!!
