Funerals... the fun.
Well, we flew to Wisconsin Friday morning for my uncle's funeral. Here is my quick overview.. I'll try to make it quick anyways.
We went to a dinner with some family at a real fancy resturant on Friday. I stayed with my aunt and uncle, and my parents stayed with my grandparents. I am glad they stayed somewhere else - because I needed the freedom of being away from them... espically mom. Anyways, then we came home from the dinner and my cousion, Eric, who I love to death... he is 10 months older that me and drives. We went driving around... and just hung out until 10:30 when we had to come home. then went to bed.
Saturday. The day of the funeral. Got up early, took a shower - and dressed up... approiately for the funeral. Eric drove him and I. Got there at 9 AM.. and greeted people. It was open casket. Yet, I couldn't pull myself to actually go stand by the casket... and look at it. I glanced at him.. and it looked so fake.. so unreal. I couldn't stand it. And I didn't like that part. Anyways, at 11:30 mass started. I was a poll bearer. Then... mass was an hour... and it was different, of course. At the end, it smelled really bad -- to much insencents. And... then we went to a HUGE lunch -- 200+ people had to be there. Eric and I left then, and went back to his house.. hung out... and then went to Aunt Katie's.. who lost her husband.. my uncle mike... and I intervied my other uncle for DeVries class. Then we went back home... and Eric and I played video games and shot the air soft gun. When Jason, my other cousion he is a 7th grader got home from his band trip. Then we ate yummy pizza. Then Eric and I left.. and we went and hung out with his friends.. and then we went to DQ.. and then Eric and I started coming home when it was POURING.. we could NOT see the road at all, so we pulled off into a parking lot and sat... until it cleared up. We were sitting for a good 30 minutes, if not more. And then... we got home around 10:40ish... and then went to bed.
Sunday... all the family came to the house I was at for breakfast. yummy! let me tell you! I ate so so so so much food. Yummmm pancakes (My uncle makes the best) and sausage. Anyways, left around 10:30.. and went to the airport.
I got home around 6:30. And I am exhausted. And I am in this pissy mood for some reason.. I don't know why. But I need to buy myself a punching bag I've decided.. so I can release my anger on it. I liked the idea. So did Eric. lol.
Well, I think I am gonna go say hi to Frank.
Adios,
Jess
