Thought Overload!

So, I'm kind of excited about this blog and thinking about what I want to write today has pretty much overloaded my brain.

I'm going to start with just talking about my day - seems like a good place to start. :)
Today I went to the middle of no where for a ceremony to honor my grandma being in the navy. She passed away a few months ago, and they now are moving her into this cemetery where only war veterans can be buried. It was a very short, little ceremony, but it was very touching. They pretty much gave my aunt a flag and some bullet shells to honor my grandma, and they saluted our family in honor of my grandma's service. I got a bit teary-eyed just thinking about some memories I had with her and how she was such a strong woman in our family. Sometimes I really miss her. They fired three rounds of shots during the ceremony, and we were able to take the shells home. I took two of them and I'm going to write my grandparents name on them. They both were cremated, and when my grandpa died we saved the spot next to him for my grandma because they both were in the navy. I think it's so sweet that they get to be side by side forever. <3

The other big thing today was the going away party for Lindsey. She's going on a two week camping trip then heading to school, so today was the "see you later" until she comes home. It's hard to say so long and realize that things are never going to be the same because she's going to mature and grow up in college. I also made an effort to maintain the few friends I made last year, but I've failed. Seeing Lindsey for the last time for who knows how long was really hard and there's so many other "see you later"s to come. Man, I really hate this whole college business - can I be done now?
