finally laid to rest

Hey momma, me again. I had a pretty good weekend, considering the circumstances. Friday night I hung out with Noelle, Michelle, Jolene and Amanda. We went to the Great Mall in Milpitas. I was bad and had Burger King for dinner on the way down there. Then I had a cookie and a brownie mocha thing at the Nestle Toll House booth. I was BAD. We had a lot of fun walking around, though. I got a Bert & Ernie decal for my back window, either TJ or Noelle will help me put it on this week.

On Saturday was your burial in Sebastopol. In attendance were myself, Michelle, Dad, Cathy, Amy, Fernando, Grace, little Joey and of course Jerry led the service. Or is it Gerry? I've always spelled it with a J. Anyway, yeah we cried a lot. I was surprised that Fernando and Grace drove all the way up there. Guess I know who my true friends are. Not that the rest of you are not my true friends. Fernando just insisted on coming and he's one of my best friends ever. The service was beautiful, Jerry did a great job. I showed Fernando where Grandma Joe, Grandpa George, Uncle Walt, Aunt Betty, and our great grandparents are buried. He thought it was pretty neat. I don't know morbid it is that I took pics of everyone's plaque/marker thing. I know Kim and Elaine will probably want to see them. After the service we went for lunch at Subway. TJ got called into work, left early, sped all the way up there, and somehow found us there. He was too late for the service, but the effort that he made getting up there showed he really cares. You meant a lot to him, ya know. After lunch we drove back and I dropped off Dad, Michelle and Uncle Jim. Oh yeah, Uncle Jim was singing some songs from Macarthur Park about leaving a cake out in the rain. Really loud. While I was stuck in traffic. I can see the weirdness is hereditary. Haha. Later on in the afternoon I did a little housework, then Cathy and Amanda came over, so did Jeff. Cathy, Amanda and I played Uno while watching Scrubs, some Lifetime movie about a fat girl winning homecoming queen, and SNL. Cathy made me take like 3-4 shots of rum, so I was interesting. I know you don't approve of us getting plastered, and I'm sorry.

On Sunday morning I went to church. You always encouraged me to go and I'm glad that I went. The music was poppin and the message was great. Talking about how we need to do what God asks us to do. When he speaks, we need to listen and obey even if it doesn't make sense, even if we're afraid. Amen to that. Later on Davina came over and we walked to the duck pond, and around it for a while. Then we went to Rasputins and I got Holy Man (since you know how I love Jeff Goldblum) and Downtown starring Anthony Edwards. He's hot but his hair looked just like TJ's so it's hilarious. I haven't watched that one yet, I will on Tuesday or something. Then I took a nice long nap and went to work. Yay.




Here's all of us at the cemetery. That light shining down on us must have been you. :)
