Busy Busy!

Well I cannot believe that August is coming to an end. It seems as though this month has gone by so quickly. Gabe and I went to L.A. last week. We had to go to get apply for my Brazilian visa. We figured that if we were going to spend all this money to fly out there that we might as well make a vacation out of it. It has been a little crazy and we sure needed the break. So we went. I felt very guilty in going because my grandpa had been really sick the last month or so and we knew that it would not be much longer before he passed. But this was something that needed to be done and we had already made the arrangement's.  So we went. We got there at like 7 in the morning on Thurs. We could not check into our hotel until 3 so we had to entertain ourselves. We went to breakfast at Denny's. By the time we finished it was only like 9. I had worked till 11:30 the night before and we had to be at the airport by 4:30 and I had not gotten any sleep. So we decided to drive around for a lil bit and see where things were. Well Gabe wanted to go and do things and I was like I am so tired that I am not even going to enjoy anything unless I get some sleep. So we called the hotel and they said the soonest that we could check in was at noon. So we went to the hotel and slept in the car for an hour till we could check in. We finally checked in and I crashed for a few hours. We then got ready had some lunch and then went to the wax museum. It was fun walking around Hollywood. And just relaxing. We went to the consulate and applied and enjoyed the rest of our trip. We came home late Sat night but right before we left I had called my mom to see how my grandpa was doing and she had said that the nurse told her that he would not make it past the next 24 hours. When we got home we went to bed and I got a phone call from my mom Sun morning saying that my grandpa had passed. We of course hurried up to Ogden to be with family. It was so sad to see him go. He seemed so happy. He had been without my grandma for 30 years and he missed her. But we were missing him. It is going to be hard not having him around anymore. The funeral was beautiful and he looked amazing. I am not sure what it is about funerals, but it makes you realize what you have and what you need to be grateful for. School started today and life keeps getting busier and busier. Gabe is going to L.A. for the day tomorrow he is going to go pick up my visa. I will be so glad when all of this  is over.
