Clarksdale, MS

This past weekend was a long one for Scot and I...Saturday I drove to Murfreesboro to get some of the wedding stuff done. While I was in town, my mom calls me and tells me that my grandmother has been taken to the hospital..So I decide to get back to Nana&Pa's house and take a shower and go see her. Well I am almost home and my mom calls me again and tells me that she has bad new. "Grandma Died".. So the first thing I do is call my sis and let her know what has just happened. When I get home I tell Scot that grandma has passed away. I curl up in his lap and just cry.. After a little while I decided to take a shower anyway and head back into town. Well Scot was at Ginger's for about 4 hours fixing her sink and stuff. While I waited for Scot to get back home I played with Hailey and Gracie.Once Scot got home, it started raining and thundering. But Scot and I decided to go eat at Logan's that night. It was so nice just to sit down with him and just talk.. Once we got home from Logan's we headed for bed.. Garrett, Hailey, and Gracie were in bed already..

Sunday morning Scot and I went to church for the first time in a long time, the service was wonderful. After church Scot and I stayed busy. We had to clean the car, pack, and do laundry. Plus find the time to print the wedding invitations..So that was a really busy day. I did not get to finish packing. We ended up going to bed late.

Monday morning Scot got up at 5:30 a.m. and cleaned out the Jeep. I got up around 6:45 a.m. and finished our packing.. We got on the road to head to Mississippi at 8 a.m. sharp.. We hit a little traffic but that was it.. We got to our motel in Clarksdale around 12:45 p.m. We dropped out stuff in our room and went to Sub-Way to get some lunch. Once our bellies were full we took a nap. Then it was time for us to get ready for the visitation. the visitation was from 5-7 p.m. After the visitation we went to my Aunt Betty Sues House for dinner. Then Scot and I had to run into Wal*Mart because I forgot to pack him another dress shirt..LOL...

Tuesday Morning Scot got up and had breakfast and went for a run. I woke up and met my brother for breakfast. After breakfast we had about 2 hours before we needed to get ready for the funeral. So Scot and I played Monopoly... Scot kicked my butt for the first time. We had a lunch at 12:30 p.m. that was prepared by the church ladies where we were having the funeral service. The funeral service was at 2 p.m. It was short and sweet. After the funeral Scot and I went back to my Aunt Betty's House and changed into more comfortable clothes. Then we said out good byes and headed back to TN. My brother and Captain Jack were in a separate car but we left at the same time. So we just stayed together. Later in the evening we stopped in at Cracker Barrell and had some dinner. Then it was time to get back on the road again and get home. Scot and I got home around 10:30 p.m. last night. The only thing that I did was bring in the bags and crawl into bed...
And here I am at work today.. :)


**** I just want to thank you all that have thought about us and prayed for me and my family. It means a lot to us. Thank you very much. I love you all.*****

You've had a rough few months and I'm so sorry. If there's ever anything you need or if you want to just talk, you know you can call me any time. Love you.
