Seriously?!?

We were talking about vending machines in class today as part of a discussion in Clinical Research methods class...and the topic of chips came up and how the vending machine had a new flavor of chip



Ketchup chips...



people in the class were like ...WTF is ketchup chips? that sounds disgusting...



I was flabbergasted...I've had ketchup chips since I was 5 years old or ever since i could remember...

So i googled it...and apparently it's a Canadian delicacy....

Wow...my mind is in shock..

haha

Back to it...

Well...after a tough week...i'm back in Charleston for the 2nd half of the semester...
It was really hard seeing Granny this past week...I bawled my eyes out on saturday at the wake cuz it was the first time i saw her in person since December. She looked a lot different, a lot weaker, a lot skinnier...I think all of that just got to me as I broke down in the back of the funeral home.
The funeral yesterday went really smoothly and everyone said it was really touching. The older girl cousins gave the eulogy as well as one of my aunts. EVeryone was crying throughout the entire thing.
I keep thinking to myself that Granny's gonna be cold in the cemetary and I keep thinking back on when she woudl ask me to get her another blanket in December...
I'll definetely come visit you as often as I can granny..

One and a half months left till home time....seems unreal that year 1 is almost coming to a close...Definetely need to find a job and make some spending money for next year..
It's late...should get some sleep...

Peace out

Love U Granny


well..granny passed away today after a long battle with cancer.....it hasn't sunk in how much im gonna miss her yet...cuz im not home with the rest of the family...but there's gonna be some crying in the next few days for sure...

It's spring break down here..and most people have gone home...ate lunch with 2 other friends who are staying in Charleston...then we went to build snowmans and have a little snowball fight by the river...got back...and I got a call on the cell...saw the number...and i knew instantly that it wasnt gonna be good news...

Ive been sick the past couple days..and i haven't been able to sleep the past couple nights...had to drive a friend to the airport at 4am this morning...and the night before...we went out drinking and i shouldn't have...cuz i was sick....but i had a feeling that things were getting worse back home..

Emails were going back and forth from family saying how much granny was struggling and that she was in pain...she even told mom that she was ready to go...and she wanted to see the new life that God had ahead for her......

....wow...that just brought out a lot of tears...

Im happy and sad at the same time...cuz i know that she's with God now...after so many years of not knowing God....that it came down to the final months of her life to turn to Him...Praise God..

I'm waiting for mom to update me on how i'm getting home...im basically ready to go anytime..

I'm sure it'll hit hard once i get back..

Love U granny
