Dedicated to my grandma

So since i last updated a lot has happened... Well after the whole episode with Albertson's that next Monday, i got a call for an interview at Wal Mart the next day... So i went in and they offered me a job and i took it... So i went in the next day and told my boss i was finishing off the week and i would be done... She basically told me i couldn't because she needed me the next week to train people... I told her i couldn't... Cause Wal Mart wanted me to start on Monday (which was a lie)... So i had 40 hours my last week at Albertsons and people gave me a bunch of grief... I was happy to get out of that place... So i enjoyed a week off and had orientation... And started a couple days later and been there ever since... Its been a nice change from Albertson's... I stock shelves or what ever they need me to do...

Then i left on the Tuesday to head up to California for a couple days... It was a nice get away. I hung out with friends and caught up on sleep. It was nice... I miss California and everyone out there... While i was there my moms mom passed away on the Thursday night... Which i will talk more about in a min... I went to church and saw the people in my ward and ran into people i haven't seen in a while since they went on their mission...

My family has been stressing over my grandma she was in and out of the hospital... They couldn't figure out why she had fallen and she had this infection that she got in her arm that they didn't know where it came from... So they took her up to a hospital in Provo and did tests and what not. She got worse so they sent her up to the University of Utah hospital...Where she later passed away... They still don't really know what was going on... But the day before she died and the day she died she told my moms oldest brother that she didn't want to have surgery and didn't want to have any more surgeries... Or anything more done... She was basically saying that she was ready to go... So my mom and her brothers and my cousin were at the hospital and visiting hours were over and my moms brothers left and my cousin decided to go back at 8:30pm when the next shift started. She sat and chatted with my grandma till 10:45 pm when they were gonna get her ready for bed and change her sheets. So my cousin left... My moms oldest brother got a phone call a little after 11 pm telling him that my grandma wasn't doing well and she had min to live before she passed and if they wanted to be with her to come immediately... No one did... So they got a phone call about 11:20 pm. saying that she had passed away... They started making funeral arrangements and asked me if i would like to speak. Of course i did. I didn't have the chance to at my grandpa's funeral... So i spent the next couple days writing and thinking about what i wanted to speak of at the funeral. So i left Sacramento Tuesday morning and flew into Vegas. My sister in law and nephew picked me up. We went to lunch and picked some stuff up at the house. Then picked up my brother and headed up to my grandmas house. We spent the night fussing and fighting over stuff we wanted. Then we all got up the next morning and got ready for the funeral. The rest of the family came and friends and family. It was beautiful. We had sloppy Joe's, lots of desserts, salad and what not for the luncheon after. Most of the grand kids were there... I think there was 3 out of the 10 great grand kids there. It was nice to see all my moms side of the family. But i see why we never get together... We all fight and bicker.... We basically cleaned out the house and took what we wanted then my aunt and uncle were gonna hold a garage sale for the rest... Its hard to think that my grandma is not here any more... I am just happy that she is in a better place and that she is with my grandpa... My sister and my "brother-in-law", my brother and sister in law and nephew, me an my parents. We had a nice time... It was nice to see them all.. My sister and brother in law's dog is cute.. They named her Bella. She is a golden retriever i think...

My grandma left behind 2 brothers and 1 sister. 5 sons and 1 daughter. 22 grand kids and 10 great grandkids with one on the way... She was proceeded in death by my grandpa and her son, Gardell. She lived 5 years 1 month and 2 weeks after my grandpa died. My grandpa died June 10, 2003. And my grandma died July 24, 2008.

I broke things completely off with Aaron. We aren't getting married right now. Maybe down the road sometime. We just have things that we need to work on and things we need to change... So hopefully maybe we will some day... Just not right now... I have been going on some dates... But the guys have been stupid and don't know how to do things right... they say they have a good time but then things change... So its been hard to concentrate. I have basically just been working and trying to keep busy. My friend Celeste left on her mission two weeks ago. She is going to Taipan on her mission... I am happy for her... then my neighbor Maddie is leaving in i think 2 weeks for her mission... She is going to Canada...We will see what happens in the next little while...
