I think I mentioned in my previous post, but Labor Day is the biggest celebration of the year for my family. 4? birthdays and of course the actual holiday are celebrated at my aunt Fi & uncle Corky's house EVERY.YEAR. We celebrate on the Sunday before Labor Day. My great aunts & uncles even come to this, that's how big we do it. This year was no different! Had a blast catching up with my family & eating way too much food (& sweets...). Back on track today!
Only one issue bothered me this year... my aunt mentioned there was a bunch of brush covering my grandpa's headstone when she stopped by last month. I stopped by the cemetery on my way home to 1) wish Matt a happy belated birthday & 2) visit & pray at my grandpa/uncle/grandma's site. My grandpa is buried between my uncle & my grandma. Well, when I got to their site, his marker wasn't there. I was already crying & trying not to have a panic attack because I thought it had been stolen. But no; it was buried under at LEAST 4 inches of weeds & dirt. I reached my hand down through it & began ripping away like a crazy person to uncover his marker. How dare Seaside treat any marker this way, let alone a WWII vet. Needless to say, it took me awhile to calm down after all that. I miss my grandpa so much; I still think about him every single day.
I'm all moved in to my parents house yet I'm moving out again on the 14th. Hah. So much fun. It's a lot to get used to after waking up alone for a year & now waking up to 3 of the noisiest, most talkative people (& 5 dogs) every morning!
I have my first presentation of the semester tonight... & it's worth 60% of my grade. WISH ME LUCK!
