the only exception

you are ^^^





well, the holiday season has arrived.

putting up ornaments and christmas trees in june at work kinda makes you prepared.

life is good at the mcbride house, steadily working on my plan of "5 boring years"

can't remember a time in my life where things actually go right for that long period of time.

boring = uneventful and content.

i mean, sure there are events happening all the time but, just not like MEGA bad ones, you know.

got a few deals this black friday... not really much out there for actual deals.

my husband is snoring on the couch as i write this,

he has a cold.

ever notice when girl's have a cold its no big thing, but when the guy's do its like a natural disaster?


working on crocheting some booties... and some socks for a friend.

i like to work on little projects, because bigger ones end up being such a committment...

he said she was "the salt of the earth"

seems like i haven't written in years.

well, big thing happened. grandma marge passed away last wednesday.
brandon and i went to see her at the hospital right before her surgery.
i wasn't sure if i wanted to go, but brandon insisted. it was kind of like he knew something i didn't... mom too.
she looked healthy and well, normal to me.
there was a group of 20 of us in the room,
when i saw her i honestly thought to myself...
this isn't the end, she will recover... she looked well.
i sat with her and she told me she was glad i was happy,
and she also said be honest. always.
i kissed her and told her she was beautiful,
she said she'd understand if i couldn't be around after the surgery...
and that was the last time i spoke to or saw grandma marge.

she taught me things about life that money can't buy.
i am blessed to have had her in my life.
