~ So, life has taken even more turns since my last entry. Sadly, my grandfather passed away. It was the hardest thing I have gone through so far. Terrible. My sister and I were at Barnes and Noble looking at books and getting coffee...signature Jordan happening, when Jason called and said the entire family was at the hospital because Poppy had gotten worse. I couldn't believe that just two weeks ago he had broken his hip and now this. How does that happen? How does someone die from a broken hip? The doctors kept giving him drugs and he stayed in a constant state of confusion, he ended up dying from it. That shouldn't happen. When my sister and I got to the ER, we were rushed to the room to be with the rest of the family and Poppy. He was stuggling so much, too much. We all knew that it would be best for him to pass on because he was in so much pain. My grandfather was extremely strong and active, he would not have wanted the life he would have had. We were able to sing his favority hyme and say a prayer for him. Then he died. It was like he was waiting for all of us to say goodbye to him. Although it was incredibly difficult to witness, I would not have traded it for the world. He passed on so peacefully, I will never forget how wonderful he was. He was extremely happy all the time, with the worst jokes in the world. He loved all of his children and grandchildren and was so gentle-hearted. I love him with all my heart and miss him just as much, I can't wait to see him in heaven.
~ Other events that have been going on as of late, is I started a new job that I am enjoying so much more then the other one. I am Resident Director of Geisert Hall. I am enjoying it, all the girls have been welcoming. It is nice because I get a free apartment, food, cable, internet and phone. I can save money with this job...or at least attempt too. Also, I will get to see Nathanael more which is always a plus. The other job was making it so I would never get to see Nathanael and I was seriously putting my life on the line with these kids. I was not cut out for it...at all. So to say the least, I am happy. I miss seeing my family because we so tight. I miss my nephews and niece.
~ Wedding plans are coming along nicely. We have a church (almost), reception spot, pastor and the honeymoon! We are going on a cruise to the Western Caribbean...belize, grand cayman, coasta maya and conzumel...sooo excited! I can't wait. Life will be so good with him.
~ Other then that, life is life...enjoy it!
