Guess what ya'll..it's about damn time I update this journal of mine huh* Well just like Em it has been awhile since I had an actual update. So needless to say I have a few things to update on.
I think I should start out by Thanksgiving....damn it's been a few weeks considering it's almost Christmas. But my Thanksgiving was ok..spent it at home on Thursday...then went out that night with my friend Laura and saw Bridget Jone's Diary. I luv that movie and I just luv all the actors. U should all definitly see it. But then that weekend my mom and I drove out to my aunt's for Thanksgiving with our family and my uncle al's family on Saturday. Got to see some of you on Friday for Em's birthday. I'm sorry I missed Ed's but bowling was fun. You all got to see how I suck extremely at bowling. But it was good to see you all.
Nothing really went on between then. Oh had my office Christmas party at a restauraunt in downtown Detroit called "Sweet Georgia Brown's" I know I told most of you but thought I would post some pics when I figure it out. But anyways the doctor I worked for was like "Have you guys ever partied like rap stars"? We were all like what is this fool talking about? All of a sudden he says "Well we're gonna party like Ludacris tonight". First of all I just thought it was hilarious that he said Ludacris but even more hilarious that he was talking this talk. All of a sudden the waiter asks me "Would you like some Cristal?" Um yes...lol who drinks Cristal and cosmo's and chocolate martinis..let's just say I was done in about 10min. Needless to say 5 bottles of Cristal, 4 bottles of Moet and the rest of our drinks plus shots from the Dr. had us all done lol. But it was fun. I love all the people I work with and my Dr. he cracks me up. But had to share that with you all. Cristal was good it was different...tasted like Champagne to me.
The next major event..the birth of my beautiful nephew/godson Trace. He is just too beautiful for words...and he's the cutest. I had so much fun spending time with Kurra and Trace. I was so happy to be able to go out there and see both of you. I really wish I could have been there for the delivery...but getting to see him last weekend made me feel better. I mean who cries when I had to call everyone...lol Em makin fun of me. (just kidding). I was just overjoyed that's all, and wishing I was there. (THANKS KURRA and THANK your family for everything..for having me there and well for everything. lol) He's so cute..I see his mom in him. LOL he does the hand thing like Kurra and he makes some cute noises. It's just fun having our baby finally. It was good seeing the rest of you too...(Emma I am sorry I missed you and John :0( Then I was off to Michelle's to give and show pics of my nephew and she cut my hair. I got bangs you guys..well my bangs are shorter. But her little girl is so cute too. Then it was off to see my fam. Kaitlyn is crazy as usual but I love her cute ass. Then I followed the snow all the way home...it was weird no snow in Chi-and by my house in Michigan but snow all in between. I had my guardian angel with me tho. Overall had a good weekend. On an end note I am so happy for you Kara...he is so cute and I can only imagine the high your feeling. I can't wait to experience that in the future. I can't wait till we're all mom's. ;0) But I'm so proud of you and I know you'll be the best mom ever.
ON a recent note....I just had my last final today for anatomy. School has been kickin my butt...today's was freakin hard but we all celebrated afterwards at Applebee's. You all need to have their perfect margarita cuz that was good. (Um u all know it was hard when Mel had to drink at 2 in the afternoon LOL hey I needed a reward right?) But I'm glad this semester is over...I just don't know what I am gonna do the next few weeks off. It's gonna be weird not going to school.I'm not complaining tho cuz I could use the break. Other than that I'll just be working more. The kids I nanny for are off of school so I'll be watching them full time starting Monday. And I'll be at the office more. Today at the office tho I must say I realized that I truly know nursing is what I want to do. I had a connection with a patient. We had to admit her but she said something to me...thanking me for helping her...but the way she said her thank you and the words she said I knew I made a difference if that makes sense. It felt good and I just realized that I am finally doing something I love. And that is helping others. Sorry tear just had to share that.
Today is the day when my grandma past away last year. I can't believe it's already been a year. Last time my family was preparing to go out to Cali. So much has happened to make up for that hard time. Friendships grew stronger, my family has gotten closer, and I have a new person in my life (Trace). It's still hard but I know she's in a better place. I'm just glad I have all of you and my family in my life cuz I don't know what I'd do without you all. I'm sad today ..but I'm thankful at the same time.I got my mom a card and it says "A great soul serves everyone all the time.." A great soul never dies..." "it brings us together again and again"...Maya Angelou wrote that. That was exactly my grandmother. But those words just all makes sense. My grandma might not be here but her soul is still with us, and I have wonderful memories. She just loved all of you. Just wanted to say I love all of you and remember to live life like everyday is a special occassion because you only live once. And on that note I think it's time for me to go to bed. I'll update more often I promise. I got more time now since school is out. Sorry this is a novel....missing you all!!!!!!!!!!
