Decisions and Life

I have decided to keep my more personal stuff here! I wanted to join some scrapping challenges and they wanted a blog site but I don't want to mix my feelings and such with the challenges so I will keep this blog for that kind of stuff! I guess I'll do a little bit of an update now! The week after mothers day My moms side of the family (My Grandparents, Mom and Dad and Brothers and My Uncle and one cousin) and I and Kaity traveled to Abbotsford BC for my Omas funeral. I still havent really grieved, I think I haven't because we didn't see her very often and I think maybe I'm hoping that when we do go back over there that she will be waiting for us! I know that this is silly to think but I just cant seem to grieve about it. Another thought that I just had while typing the last sentence is that maybe I'm at peace with her passing because I know that she's safe in the arms of Jesus and my Opa, The are finally reunited! The trip was alot slower than last time (even though we were able to go the speed limit this time)We took 2 days there and 2 Days back! We left Sunday around 2 pm and arrived in Revelostoke about 730 pm (ab time) We had stopped a few times and Had dinner in Golden! The hotel we stayed at was a little older but they offered great rates and the rooms suited us great. Kaity and I stayed with my Mama and Papa, they had a king size bed and there was a littler room off to the side for Kaity and I with a bed and two chairs, I pushed the 2 chairs together and made the perfect little bed for Kaity! The next morning we left about 10 am ish (BC Time) and arrived in Abbotsford at about 330 (BC Time)We went for dinner and came back it was great and relaxing! We went swimming Kaity had a great time! The next Day was the funeral so we did that! After the funeral my mama dropped me off at Nathanaels Grandma and Grandpas. It was the first time they had met Kaity, Aunty Flo was also here so we got to visit with her too, we had such a good time. After we got back everybody went for dinner but My oldest Brother and I stayed at the Hotel and had DQ Kaity was so frazzled and grumpy from all the commotion of the day. We relaxed and after a while I got Kaity dressed and we went swimming, she loved it we were in there for 2 hours. After that my mom came and got me and all the women in our family gathered in one of the rooms and we sorted and chose what we wanted of my Omas jewelery. I chose a pearl necklace and some other stuff. The pearls reminded me most of my Oma. The next day we headed home we stopped at the Enchanted forest and 3 Valley Gap these places were places Ive wanted to stop at ever since I was little but never did! I recommend even if you are an adult to stop at the Enchanted forest it is sooo AMAZING. So we spent the night in Revelstoke again at the same Hotel and Headed home the next morning. I had such a great trip despite the reason we went but now after writing and re reading this I am Truly at Peace about My Oma and Opa passing! The things I will always hold dear to my heart about them are: 1)Walks with Opa, 2)Him sneaking away to have a cigarette (Oma thought he quit years ago),3)Asking me to draw a cow for him after I had drew a pot of flowers for Oma, and after explaing to him that I didnt have the proper colors for a cow he asked ``why not a purple cow, havent you ever seen a purple cow.4) my Oma always had King mints and a Loonie for us, 5) she always had a smile and thoroughly enjoyed watching us play!!

That's a great idea of how to keep things separate. Thanks for sharing about your trip to BC! Love you!
