Saturday night around midnight, my Grandmother went to be with Jesus... as they say down in south Georgia. The most prevalent emotion right now is relief. She is no longer a burden on my Mom, and she is no longer suffering. Win/win if you ask me. The funeral will be on Saturday, but I will not be going. Bella's ballet recital is Friday night, and it's my 6th Anniversary on Saturday. My Mom told me that I needed to be home with my family. Since I was there helping her with everything leading up to my Grandmother's death, she gave me a hall pass and told me that she and Andrew could finish it up.
One silver lining out of all this is that Andrew and I will be splitting the money my Grandmother had left right down the middle. These were her last wishes in her will. It couldn't be coming at a better time because not only will I be able to settle all of my credit card mess, but we will be able to pay Vince's parents back, pay off Vince's 2 credit cards, pay off the rest of my student loan, and have a significant savings after it is all said and done. What my Grandmother didn't do in life, she is certainly making up for in death.
Now a little about Sunday before I go. Church went well in the morning and we had lunch at home. Bella got 3 new nail polishes from the Easter bunny and after she gave me a glittery pedicure, I let her paint her own fingers and toes. While I watched of course :) When she was done, she had glittery toes like me, one pink hand and one purple hand. She needed to try out all the colors <3 While Vince and Bella had a dance party/room cleaning session, I put away laundry and did some light picking up. We had dinner with Vince's parents outside on their deck, and it was very lovely. Once home, I put Bella to bed, and then Vince and I watched "Easy A" before calling it a night ourselves. Very cute movie by the way :)
It's Monday, traffic was horrible on my way to take Bella to school this morning, and now I'm contemplating a nap. Last week was a long week, and I'm still catching up it feels like.
