Im so swamped today but thought I would take 5 mins to post. We drove up to Decatur Thursday night and got a hotel room. Then went to pick up Bryans oldest 2 kids 19 and 17 yrs old. They had nothing to wear to the funeral so we bought them each something to wear plus shoes and I got them an additional outfit each for whenever. While in the car they were telling what they wanted for Christmas. i already have part of it. :) We went to eat supper and then back to our hotel room. Bryan was up most of the night sitting on the couch watching Jonathan and myself sleep I guess.
We got to the funeral home on time and got inside. Bryans ex wife appeared and she stood next to him greeting friends. I sat in the back of the family with his Aunt Julia. She is so fun. She introduced me to everyone and when they left she would give me history. I wish I lived closer to her because I liked her alot.
The funeral was very nice. Not a lot of tears but it was ok. His mom has had alzheimers for the last 14 yrs. She so much better off now. She looked beautiful. I felt badly for Bryan. He choked up while doing his pall bearer duties. After the burial we went back to the Methodist church for lunch. One of his sisters works there and the congregation prepared lunch for us. Had a good time there. After that we drove back home and pretty much did nothing else that day. I had my monthly visitor and felt kind of bad after the drive home.
Saturday I cleaned and bought groceries. We were out of everything. I spent too much but we needed so much stuff. Im hoping it lasts a week or two. Jodi mopped for me and I was thankful. I hate mopping! I watched the Auburn game and then caught highlights of the Alabama game. I was so glad they both won.
Sunday we went to church and then home again. I took Jonathan back to the youth service and then we all went over to Kristys house for supper. She is a much better cook than I am. Dinner was good but we left afterwards. Bryan is very hot natured. They dont like the ac on. We went home and watched Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters and then I crashed.
Today Bryan asked me if I would call in sick for the next two days. He wanted to go to Gatlinburg. I have obligations at work. Checks and Payroll to do plus banking and billing. He says im not spontaneous. I cried. I hate feeling like that. i used to be fun. Not sure what happened to me. Guess im a fuddy dud now. Hopefuly I can read everyones journals and catch up. I live vicariously thru my friends I guess.
