One Month ~ One week

One Month: It's been 1 month since Mike's brother Dave died. It still doesn't seem real. He use to like, disappear for like 2 or 3 weeks, (sometimes longer) or so and basically, no one would hear from him, be able to contact him, whatever. And then he'd just show up like nothing happened. IDK why he'd do that, maybe to get away from baby momma drama or just life in general. But he'd always come back and be just fine. Well, it still kinda seems like that's what's going on now. Our minds just think he'll call one of us someday or will show up at his parents house, or whatever. But it's not gonna happen. We all know that, but subconsciously we want to think he'll be 'back'. sigh. Gosh, we miss him so much. Jillian, his daughter, will often say that her daddy is in heaven, and then will ask if we can go to heaven to see him. Put a lump in my throat when her mom was telling me that. My heart breaks for her. She's only 3! :( On a happier note, Dave had a cat that he loved to death. He never wanted anything to happen to this cat and made us (family) promise to look after the cat if anything would happen to him. Well, since he's been gone, the cat's been missing. And the cat's an indoor cat, never goes outside. He turned up today. :) And he's doing fine, even after being on the streets for a month. That made us all happy.

One week: We will be moving in about a week!!! yay! I started packing today. It sucks! I wish the Army would come and move us again. lol. That was so easy! I'm just exciting to be moving into a nicer place, closer to everything, and next to my BFF!! yay!!!

I hope everyone has a good weekend! :) <3

Signed a lease!

Our current lease is up at the end of March, so me and Mike have been looking for an apartment that's closer to everything. lol. Right now it's about 40 min for me to get to work, and about 30 min to get to WalMart, the mall, and my parents house. We're so far out there. lol. So we wanted to move closer. We signed a lease tonight for a nice townhouse. Right next to my BFF!! :) I'm super excited! It's a 2 bedroom and has a nice finished basement that Mike is going to make into his Man Cave. lol. The lease starts April 1 but we are allowed to move in on March 26th-27th. :) yay!!

Mike turns 26 this month too! On the 26th, actually! lol. We're not sure what we're doing but I do know I'm getting him a cake! haha. He doesn't wanna celebrate since it's too close to 30. lol. But he's just joking and will have a great time. I can't wait to give him his gift! lol

We had a nice weekend this past weekend. :) Me and Mike went to lunch with his parents. (Side Note: Not sure if I mentioned it but Mike's brother died about 3 and a half weeks ago. His sister died in 2004. He's an only child now. So sad. But we're always with his parents now because of that. His mom's a mess. Breaks my heart.) Anyways, We went out to lunch with them, then went back to their house and decided to go to the movies. We went to see "Battle: L.A.". It was pretty good! Mike really liked it. As did I. Then we went to Starbucks and just hung out the rest of the night. Sunday we went to their house and just watched movies on their HUGE TV! lol. It was nice and relaxing. This weekend will consist of packing, packing and more packing! lol Greatttt.

Well, it's bed time for me. lol. Have a great week!! :)

Seven Springs Mountain Resort

I know I haven't updated forever!! lol Things got busy at work, and then two weeks ago, my fiancée's brother died. That's been rough for all of us, especially Mike. Him and Dave were so close. And in 2004, Mike's sister died. He's the only child left now. It's heartbreaking. But that's one reason I haven't posted recently.

Today, Me and Mike went with his parents and Missy (Mike's brothers ex gf and baby momma) and Jillian, Mike's niece (Dave's daughter - she just turned 3) to a local ski resort for breakfast. Mike's parents go there, apparently, almost every weekend. So we all left around 8:15am and got there around 9:30. It was pretty cool. I've never been to a ski resort before. The breakfast buffet was delicious!! No wonder his parents go so often! lol. Then we were just wandering around. We find a game room, that Jillian loved. So we hung out there for a while, then went outside and were watching the skiers and snowboarders. Jillian wanted to do it so bad! lol. Mike's parents went to see about maybe getting her private lessons. She's going to be so spoiled, since she's the only thing left of Dave, pretty much. She's so adorable. But yeah, after being outside for a bit, we went into the lodge and got hot chocolate and coffee and watched the skiers and snowboarders from inside. It was just a nice time. :) Something fun we all needed to do in the aftermath of all the sadness. But it did hurt, not having Dave there with us. We were all suppose to do this the weekend that Dave died. So that reminder was definitely in the backs of everyone's mind.
After we left there, we went back to Mike's parent's house and just watched movies the rest of the afternoon. All of them were Jillian's type of movies. lol. I love her so much. She's so cute!! I guess she's talking a lot more now. I wasn't around her too often, there was drama between Missy and Mike's parents, but since Dave died, Missy and Jillian are over his parents house pretty often. But yeah, everyone said that she's been talking a lot more recently. And its so cute. She gets so excited watching movies or even when "Uncle Micheal" walks into the room. My heart breaks for her though, she'll most likely never remember Dave. And won't be able to ever know him. gah. So sad.
But yeah. That was our fun day. :) I'm glad we all had a great time. Like I said, it was something we needed. <3
