R.I.P HAROLD "LOOP" HOHL

May has been a lil sad for me because on May 5th grandpa hohl passed away : / He was an amazing, loving, and incredible person. Grandpa fought for his country and stayed true till the day he died.

I was at work when I got the call that grandpa had passed. I tried to hold myself together, but once I started to work with my elderly patients I just broke down. I haven't cried that hard in years...probably since Jerry died. My boss, Mara, got me a replacement right away so I could go home and be with my family. Anna was home and I needed so much support so I stopped by her house. We decided to drive up to Show Low to be there for our mom.

Once I went back to work...I called my mom when I got off and said " I don't like old people anymore :( " Working with the elderly, now, feels like salt in a wound. I didn't think I would take grandpa's death this hard. Mom says there will be the days when you just want to give up and you feel there's no hope for the future, but with time everything will heal.

Grandpa's funeral is on May 29th, memorial weekend ...Memorial day I believe was his favorite day of the year. He has work hard for years to make memorial day full of honor, but still fun. That's why this weekend couldn't be a better one to celebrate his life of Love, Dedication, and Honor.

I like to believe I was the favorite of all the grandchildren ( haha ) because he was my HERO. I am going to truly miss him and sometimes wish he was still here, but like mom says time heals everything....

Thought of the Day is:

Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile..

I can't believe it's already May! Life has been flying by so fast, I haven't had a second to catch  my breath till now : D

 Well during April I celebrated my 21st birthday and I went all out! I figured you only turn 21 once and I didn't want to ever regret not really celebrating that much. Haha silly I know. My sister took us to this country bar called tom ryans and it was so much fun. I recieved drink after drink after drink after shot after shot after shot lol all for free cuz I was the birthday girl :] Towards the middle of the night they announced that it was my 21st birthday and the lead singer of the country band made me go to the stage so he could sing happy birthday to me! I was sooooo embarrassed! But all n all I had an amazing time. Sami danced the night away with me too. I couldn't have asked for a better more amazing birthday.

Also in April Brandon and I celebrated 3 years of being together <3 We have had an amazing journey these past few years and I couldn't be happier. In two months we will be celebrating our first year of marriage ... and many more to come! Honesty, loyalty, patience, compromising, and TLC has brought us this far and will continue to make our love grow for life : )

Last but not least in April....I finally found a wonderful job where I will NEVER EVER EVER work weekends again unless I want to. I will work monday through friday 6-2pm doing the one thing I LOVE in life...caring for those who need help :] It may not be the most
glamourous job, but I believe its with out a doubt the most REWARDING job.
