The Washburns (my cousins) will understand when I say "vacation." I did get a job on Friday. Pending a background check, I start after that. It is strange how everything has worked out the way that it has these last few months. I was all set to move to San Marcos and take a job at The Gristmill, but I backed out of it unexpectantly without much vision as to why. Then about two weeks later Dad died. I was able to be there for the family and do all the things I needed to do. Then it was like I needed some time for myself to ponder everything that had happened. I am not done with that part, but I can tell that I was ready to get on with things. I know that everyone has been very patient with me (especially Grandma).
I watched a movie this weekend that I first saw before Dad died. It was "Elizabethtown." I remember crying the first time I saw it. My fears of Dad's death looming in the background. I cried the second time but this time I saw just how true of a movie it is. I saw that sometimes it takes you awhile to cry and really reflect on relationships. I felt like my few months off of work was like Drew's roadtrip that he took. It was my time to reflect and reconnect to myself. If you haven't seen the movie, I recommend it. But I warn, IT IS SAD. It can be hard to watch.
I am glad that I had the time to spend with my cousins when they came to town. Since I am younger than they are, it was the first time in my life that I was able to spend good quality time with them. Thank you to them for letting me get to know more about them. And to Nathan, thank you for showing me that sometimes when life gets shitty, all you have to do is make jokes about it.

way to go Cahree!! Good luck on the job! And yeah, Elizabethtown is a pretty good film. I especially like the video that he showed the kids to "calm them down". It was pretty interesting! Hope to hear from you again soon!

Oooooh, heard you had a job via the longdistance grapevine -- uh, Grandma, of course. Congrats. I hear you started today. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess now I'll have to rent Elizabethtown. You know that grown men are NOT supposed to cry. I guess I'll have to watch it by myself, leave the ladies (including the cat and the dawg out of it, also). Chin up, pip-pip and all that shit.
