Easter Break

     I find it difficult to describe my feelings about this last week.  The weddings were incredibly interesting.  Brett, the cousin from my Dad's side, married a Mexican Beauty, yes she is from Mexico.  I didn't get to go through the line because we arrived too late.  There was a dance in full bloom instead.  The bride and groom were upstairs removing money from their clothes because you pin money to the bride and groom in their culture.  Sign me up.  When they finally came downstairs, it was time to cut the cake, again no time for visiting and hugging.  Then it was time for their dance.  No chance to cut in.  Then we had to go.  As we were leaving so were they.  How frustrating.  Anyway, congratulations Brett and Gidianny.  May you love long and well.
     Karma Sue's wedding was lovely.  We had to wait a long time for people to arrive (forgotten recommends I assume) and then the sealer talked for a long time and said some very lovely things.  He said that if he were still in high school he would like to have a pretty English teacher and if he were no longer in high school he would like to look at a pretty English teacher.  We all laughed out loud on that one.  After the ceremony Tallon pumped his fist.  Again we all laughed out loud.  I am looking forward to getting to know him better.
      The dinner was tasty and the cake was even better.  We had to leave for Brett's reception right after the dinner so we missed the reception.  All in all, I do not recommend two weddings on the same day.  There is too much rushing around and not enough visiting with the people you love.  I am looking forward to Julie's wedding so that I can have the chance to visit with my relatives that I rarely get to see.
     On Wednesday we celebrated my Grandma Sergene's 80th birthday.  How did she get so old?  I don't remember how old I thought she was a a child, but I certainly didn't categorize her as elderly.  I love you Grandma, happy birthday.
     Although I was enjoying a fun Easter break, my visiting teacher experienced a sad event.  Her father that she has been caring for passed away.  She is running on adrenalin and told me yesterday she now has more sympathy for my manic times.  She said you think you understand and then it happens to you.  Only then do you truly get it.  Thank you.  It is like having children.  You think you understand about all that goes into parenting and then you actually have them. An, "Oh, I see," moment happens.  I love it when moments like this happen to me.  I learn so much and become a more loving person.  I am sorry that her father's death brought about this event for her, though.  Now that this period of her life is over, I am a little afraid of what will be her trial next.  They never get easier, only harder.
