This year has been bumpy along the way. I had my heart broken, gained wonderful friends, lost some friends, got a new job, was awarded for costumes I worked hard on, lost a grandfather, about to lose another grandfather who raised me basically since I was 1 year old, and met someone that I love dearly.

I'm going home Thursday to my hometown to spend Christmas with my parents, and my grandfather who is on his last days. It hurts and makes me really sad but he's suffered long enough especially without his lifetime love who passed away last year a few days before Thanksgiving. I still miss her. I regret not being there when she passed and I hope if he goes during the holiday break that I can be by his side when he does.

I'm scheduled to flight up to Missouri on the 29th to visit: , , , , , Dana, Dan, Kayla and my amazing boyfriend . I'm spending the New Years with them and we are doing an awesome secret santa. Unless I am unable to go because of family reason/emergency then I might have to mail out my secret santa her present.
