Labor Day Weekend

I had a very interesting Labor Day weekend. Not like most I've had ill deffinatley tell you that! It started off fairly well, just a fun filled weekend with my best friends.. what more could I ask for? Friday and Saturday were both involving either work or hanging out with my friends, but that was okay with me.

On Sunday, I went to my cousin Linnea's wedding reception. It was in La Crosse at the Best Western Hotel and it was a very nice place. Being a nice cousin and all, I decided to be the DD for my cousin Sara who doesn't get out much (being a mom and all).  I had a great time seeing all of my family, and even some people I haven't seen for a very long time. But of course with every good thing in life there comes a bad thing also. That night during the wedding reception my cousin Tom let me in on some bad news. He told me that my Grandmother Shirley was not doing too well and that I should go see her because she might have only had a few days to live. I was shocked when I heard this, and he told me that he would take me to the nursing home. I was so nervous to go by myself, that in so many ways i couldn't have thanked him enough for going with me. It was a very hard thing for me to do ( to see someone you love dieing right in front of your eyes) but I knew deep down that if I did not go and see her, I would regret it for the rest of my life. She turned out to be okay that night so we went back to the reception and have a good time. I was never so relieved in my life..

My Monday was pretty boring filled with lots and lots of homework. The wonderful life of a college student :) 

But the following morning was not the greatest :( My grandmother passed away, and even though we knew it was coming and am very sad to not have her in my life,  I couldn't help but feel at ease that she is not suffering anymore. Especially when you know that they would want you to feel this way. 

Overall, I had a very random weekend filled with lots of different things, emotions, places, people, etc. Even after everything I have been through, I cant help but think positive and know that in the end everything will be okay. Just have to keep my chin up and hope for the best!
