Relief.

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.
