Since we last left off, we have moved into our new home, gone camping, I've worked an awful lot, we have been to Florida (Rick's very first vacation and plane ride), and I have lost my Grandfather.
Our new home is great and we absolutely love it! Camping could have been better. The weather wasn't really on our side for that trip. Florida was AMAZING! It was an awesome trip for both of us, and it was an awesome trip for Rick. It made me so, so happy to see him experience new and exciting things.
...on to the sad part...
Losing my Grandfather has been tough, tough, tough. He had been battling bad health problems for the past two years. He had been through surgeries, immense pain and suffering, chemotherapy, etc. I'm relieved and happy because I know he no longer has to face the pain, suffering, chemo treatments, etc., but I'm also terribly sad because I know that he'll never waltz in the office again asking me how my sales are and he'll never tease me again about paying for pants that have holes in them. I absolutely know he's in a better place but it's extremely hard for me to understand and comprehend. I know that I'll have to remind myself from time to time that everything happens for a reason. For now, I'm focusing on Faith and Prayer.
