What a week

It's been a crazy week. Brian graduated from STLCOP on May 17! Now he is just waiting for his paperwork to come back so he can sign up to take the boards. Once he's licensed he will train as a pharmacist at Wal-Mart and float, once he's comfortable. He'll do that until October...when he will be starting with the Federal Prison in Springfield, as long as all of his paperwork goes through. Needless to say, Saturday May 17 was a great day! Then came Sunday May 18...when Brian and I got to his house we found out that his Grandmother on his mom's side (the one who lived with them for many years) passed away unexpectedly. She was in a Nursing Home for rehab after having back surgery 3 weeks earlier and was doing great. She had been at a church service and wheeled herself back to her room in a wheelchair. When one of the Nursing Home workers went to check on her she was gone. It has been hard watching him, because he is just torn to pieces. He told me yesterday that he just feels numb...like it didn't happen...it's surreal. I completely understand how he feels...I've been through it too. Anyway...her funeral was last week on Thursday in Farmington...and I was fortunate enough that my Principal let me off for the two days Brian and his parents would be in Farmington.

Well, as much as I hate to go, I must finish getting ready for work...it's the last Tuesday of this school year!! I'm ready to be finished with my first year.
