Since It's been a while...

I figured that I would post again :) Hope everyone is doing well.. Well this past couple of weeks have been quite interesting to say the least...

To start: I asked my childhood friend, Megan, to be a bridesmaid at our wedding. She happily agreed and according to her, she was able to get the dress. (Still waiting to confirm that she actually got the dress) ;) So, now it's confirmed. We have Donna, Stephanie and Megan on my side, and Ben, Chris and Scott on David's side. Looks like everything is working out!

On a sad note: Back on March 31st, David's grandfather had passed away. David had told me on the phone that he had an email from Scott saying to call him ASAP.. and that's when he found out. David was frantically trying to get a ticket home to attend the funeral and was able to get back in the states in a couple of days (on the 3rd).

David arrived on the 3rd at 11 or so at night. We got home and did some laundry and slept like for 3 hours and got back up to catch the airplane to Lubbock, TX on the 4th at 700a.m. So, neways, we got to Lubbock, TX and met quite a few people on Lexy's (David's mom) side of the family at the airport. Aunt Sharmon, Stephanie (my bridesmaid). Saw Danyel and Chris and of course Mom and Dad =) We chit chatted for a bit while we waited for our luggage and then headed on to David's Grandmother's house (I think.. it has been a pretty rushed trip).. I met everyone there, including all of Lexy's sisters (LuNell, Sharon, Jenna, (Sharmon had picked us up) and their respective husbands, Lexy's mom - Sherri, saw Scott and Beth, David's great grandmother who's 93 years young! I spoke with her for a while and she had told me that she'll be making it to our wedding. Isn't that great, ya'll?!?! =) While I was there I thought "holy cow, what a big family!" David was right when he sid that he had a big family =) During our stay in Lubbock, we went over to one of Lexy's sister houses' and we had a good time. The Hershey Kisses (all the sisters) sang songs and it was awesome! I was just amazed how they sang and it was just beautiful. Words can hardly describe what I heard...

So, we stayed at David's grandmother's house for a while and the pastor who was presiding over the funeral the next day, wanted to know things about Larry that made him special to the family and to others in the community. I found out alot about his grandfather. He was very active in the community with the disabled children, with the church and other community activities. I know for sure that he loved all of his kids... all 5 girls (or rather known as the Hershey Kisses). I wish I was able to meet his grandfather but I know one thing.. We will all see each other again when it's our time.. After we talked to the pastor, David and I were so tired, we went to the hotel and slept (though it wasn't a great sleep, bed sucked).. bah!

Woke up on Friday with a severe sinus thing going on ( I thought I was having sympathy sinus issues since it seemed like everyone was feeling kinda crappy), but nope.. it was the real thing.. It's SOOO dry in Lubbock, everyone was having sinus issues. I should have brought a humidifier.. Neways.. The funeral was on Friday at 1p.m. We got to the church and the church had made us lunch before the funeral. I must say. It was good food :) Neways.. the funeral went ok (as much as you can be ok at an funeral).. After the funeral, we went to the hotel, changed into some street clothes and went out to eat.. This whole time, I was starting to feel even crappier with my sinus infection.. I had been taking some sore throat stuffs and Dayquil and all that, which seemed to help for like 30 minutes and then it stopped working.. So neways.. David had told me that the boys (Chris, Scott and himself) and dad would go out to breakfast together on Sunday morning. I think they went to Crackle Barrel (I hadn't been) and I said "Just let me sleep".. So I slept.. I needed it.. I was starting to feel alittle better until the airplane ride back home.. I'll get to that in a minute.. So neways.. Sunday rolls around and we met back up at Grandmother's house and we ate some lunch and chit chatted for a bit until David and I had to leave to go back to HSV.. We got our things together and said goodbye to the family.. I have never met so many nice people.. I felt like part of the family.. I really did.. Thank you guys! Said goodbye to dad and mom.. We'll be seeing them in June when then come back for a short visit... so yeah.. it was alittle rough saying bye to mom and dad.. felt like Kwaj all over again (bah.. can't go into that right now).. Miss you guys!

Neways.. Got on the airplane and yeah.. wasn't the best time for me.. we were landing in Dallas and my ears were hurting alittle but (not like it's was going to be landing in HSV) because of my sinus infection.. Got into Dallas.. ate dinner and got on the flight to HSV. Yeah I didn't have the best time on the airplane.. I was in tears (and I was.. you can ask David), when we were landing in HSV.. My ears hurt so bad, I just wanted to pull them off.. It would have made me feel better.. :) Neways.. we got off the airplane, I'm wiping tears away.. people are looking at me, like I'm some kind of freak.. I just wanted to get home.. well guess what.. one guess... THEY LOST THE LUGGAGE!! Everytime it seems.. bah! neways.. David waited in line while I went out to the car to lie down (since I was feeling terrible).. David got to the car and said that there's another flight at 11 tomorrow, that hopefully we would have our luggage.. Neways.. Got home at MIDNIGHT.. Slept like a log until 5 when I was gonna get up to go to work.. I got up and said "Hell no. I'm not going in..".. so I called up my co-worker and told her that i'm not coming in and I went back to sleep.. Yeah.. never again.. I wont' fly if I feel like that.. it doesn't matter.. never again..

neways.. David and I had some alone time while he was here. It was wonderful seeing him again, though it's under not so great circumstances.. David had told me that he was going to tell me about where he's taking me on our honeymoon and so.. when i saw him, i said.. "Hey.. you're supposed to tell me where you're taking me!" he just looked at me with this evil grin.. So yeah.. still don't know where he's taking me.. He said that he would rather tell me on my birthday.. so.. yeah.. not much longer...

Neways.. David and I had to say bye again and I told him that he better make it home safely and we gave each other a kiss and said bye. Only a month and a half and he'll be home for good :) Can't wait for that day :) He's gonna be back before my birthday.. June 1st.. It's gonna be nice spending my birthday with him..

On a side note: Only 219 more days until the wedding!!!!!

Neways.. this is quite of a posting.. so I'll post more later on..
