I hate to ask this of you all, but if you know me, you know I rarely ever ask for anything. You see I got a phone call yesterday from my mother, one that gave me some really bad news. You see a couple of weeks ago my grandfather (the one I really like, not the one that drives me nuts with his ego and sexist ways) had a stroke. He waited a week before he even told my grandmother and another before he would even go to the doctors to find out what was wrong. They did a CAT scan on him and found out something really horrible, he has cancer in his brain. The kind that they believe there will be nothing they can do and that he will die from. Today he went in to get some more tests done to see if there is anything they can do.

So here is what I have to ask... I know that most of you (my friends) are not religious or believe in something other than a god, you know me, I'm the same way. But could you put out good thoughts, pray to whoever you pray to, wish for him to be ok, to get better, that there will be something they can do to help him. Please, just do whatever it is you do.

Growing up I would have sworn to you that he was invincible, that my grandfather was supper man... He never gets sick, never gets hurt, he's always been so strong, like nothing could ever bring him down. He's stubborn and hard headed, it's just so hard for me to believe that he's even sick, that there is something wrong with him, that there is a possibility he could die...

I know that every day that goes by there is a chance it could be ANYONE'S last, hell every day that goes by IS a ton of peoples last. But he is my grandfather and I love him so much. My family is not ready, I'm not ready for him to go. So please, send him your thoughts, prayers, meditation, whatever it is you do....

Thank you

So last Saturday, yes the Saturday before Easter, April 11, Mike and I went out to dinner to Olive Garden. Had a great dinner, sat by some idiots, I had a salad while he teased me saying I was eating rabbit food.... Anyways afterwords we went driving up along the parkway, he said he wanted mo to moo at some cows but we didn't find any, and even on the way home they had somehow disappeared. The weather man had said it was supposed to be sunny all day and warm... So of course it hadn't been, but it had stopped raining long enough for us to go for a little walk and watch the sun set over the trees and mountain tops. So we stopped in front of this one trail and parked the car over a ditch, very small but the point of it came to the middle of the car. We went for a short walk but it was getting dark and quite cold so we headed back after awhile. I went to the passenger side when Mike suddenly said that he dropped the keys under the car. Well to annoy him I took out mine and unlocked the car door before going around to help him look for the keys. Now keep in mind I'm in my eighth month so I wouldn't have been much help.... I got down to look and when I looked up Mike had a box out, with a ring of course, and asked me to marry him. Now my dumb ass couldn't say anything I was so happy, I lunged myself at him and kissed him, to which he asked "So is that a yes or a no?" I of course said yes.

So long story short.... I'm happily engaged to MY perfect guy, we're about to have a baby girl any day now, and I couldn't be happier!

Is there really a difference? With any exciting thing that happens to me, nervousness follows closely.

As some of you already know, I'm pregnant. Still sounds weird. My boyfriend and I are expecting a beautiful, energetic baby girl, due to come around May 1, 2009. We are excited and both nervous in our own way. He's been so great. Supportive, kind, annoying (which is a compliment in my case), and just all around wonderful. I really do love him so much.

I on the other hand drive him bonkers every day, don't know why he puts up with me... I'm nervous, and for me the girl who RARELY EVER shows her emotions, seem to be an emotional blob. I really don't have any confidence in myself, I really am nervous. Now don't get me wrong, I am SO happy! I am excited, but over-thinking and questioning myself non-stop.

Well anywho. I moved in with him awhile ago and didn't have net on my laptop, thus the delay on my updating. Well that and I've been having a block that I can't seem to write my way through. But he got a wireless router for me for Christmas (the first Christmas together ~and it's been so great!~) and now I got net back on my laptop!!! YAY!

Anywho, that's really all that's new.... well all I can think of at 1am..... Man I'm tired.... I HATE getting up early!

So I just spent the night in the ER. Worried everyone very much so, my father, boyfriend, cousin and her boyfriend. I ended up having a 104 temp and my father made me get into a freezing shower which brought it down to 100.1 but by the time I got to the ER I was back up to 101. A lot of tests were taken and still waiting for 2 of them to come in. I still feel Kinda crappy but I'm slowly getting better. Just emotional from all the stress of being sick and having such a scary high temp....
Just thought I'd fill in some of my friends how I was doing.Or at least how I was somewhat doing.

dA won't let me upload any of my pics.... Don't know what is wrong but I'll just have to try again after dinner! Oh and just so you all know I'm having a great time! I'm in Yellow Stone now.... Holy cow it is HUGE!
