The temperatures are slowly starting to rise. Spring is slowly turning into summer, and that means schools will be getting out soon, and it will be time for summer vacations!
For me, it still feels like summer is over. On Monday, it felt like everyone was at the house.
A lady came over to talk about what to do with the rest of grandma and grandpas stuff. Pretty much she was saying to figure out what we want to keep, what needs to be thrown away, and the rest they can figure out if it is of any value. After that, dad and I took the dogs to my friend Serena's salon so the dogs could get groomed. After dad and I got back, I ended up looking at some of the tapes on the shelf. Aunt Terri and I figured out which videos where family videos and which videos where just tv shows and movies grandma recorded. Then, a real estate guy came to take a look at the house. He believes it will sell quickly. While the real estate guy was there, mom and Teddy came into town so we visited with them through dinner.
Tuesday before the memorial, Melanie and I went to Becky's house, and we visited with her until it was time for church. I was quiet at the church, aside from the usual greeting of family and friends when they arrived. I cried when Aunt Terri and dad sang "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," and when the service was over. After having some food in the fellowship hall, mom, Teddy and I took off for Tacoma. After the three of us settled in Teddy's house for the night.
Early the next morning, mom and I boarded our flights to San Antonio. Two planes, and a layover in Denver later, I arrived in San Antonio. After I got back home, I couldn't help but think, I used to love going to Yakima in the summer time growing up because it meant school was out for three months, we had an in ground pool to swim in , and we always went on a trip somewhere.
I realize I was blessed to have grandparents who let me come up and stay with them every summer. I just hope I am able to continue to make more cool summer memories as an adult.
Now it's back to work, and running. USAFit will be starting training for the San Antonio marathon now. As I get back into my routine, I have come to realize things have a funny way of working out. Mom and I got coffee before our run. The lid was apparently too big for my coffee cup. Luckily, my moms Yeti happened to be in the car. So I was able to put my coffee in that instead of having to worry about having hot coffee all over me. (Yeah! lol)
Anyway, love you all.
