Two years ago today my grandmother passed away. My last grandparent...my granny who baked us chocolate layer cakes for birthdays and picked us up from school. As difficult as it was 2 years ago, it's even more difficult with the wedding approaching knowing that I won't have any of my grandparents there.
But the one thing that comforts me is knowing that she's finally with my grandfather, singing at the top of her lungs in heaven praising her Lord, and that I will see her again someday. I know that she is truly in a better place than she was the last few years of her life, and that dementia was such a terrible disease for her and my family to deal with (again).
I would like to think that she's smiling down from heaven flattered that God chose Kylee to be born on her birthday - her first great-grandchild, and that they're all watching as Thomas & I prepare for our wedding. Oh, and telling me to "behave yourself" and that I'm the "apple of her eye." I see her in that blue dress, which happens to be my favorite color and the color of my bridesmaid dresses, so prim and proper.
What a blessing...to have been raised with such wonderful Christian parents and grandparents, and to know that I have 4 angels watching out for me!

Newbie
Well, I've never blogged before, so I thought I'd give it a shot....probably bore people to tears, but oh well...won't be the first time!
I'll be getting married in 3 months (minus 5 days) to my fiance' Thomas. I'm extremely excited, but overwhelmed with all the preparation that's going into it. My job stays very, very busy and to add to the wedding planning we're having a major fundraiser 1.5 months before the wedding. So, the planning gets a little confusing.
Other than work and Thomas, the rest of my life revolves around family, friends and church. My brother and his wife welcomed my precious niece Kylee to the world last March. She is such a blessing, and was born on my her great-grandmother's birthday. The sad part of that is my grandmother passed away a year before Kylee was born. So it was a very bitter-sweet "birth" day.
Anyway, that is all for now....will update later!
