"Remember who loves you"


My very sweet Great Grandma Caroline passed away on Tuesday, and it was such a bittersweet day. She has been wanting to leave this world for quite some time but because she had such a bitter attitude towards being as old as she was and still living, I would always tell her that heavenly father didn't want to take someone so bitter as her, she would always tell me, "You're right Chelsea, I wont talk about it again." She was such a wonderful lady and my favorite. I loved her so much, and I realized she was such an important part of my life when I moved to Boise. If I was in need to talk to someone, late at night, I knew I could call Great Grandma and she would be so happy to just have a phone call ( and probably the only one awake at around 11 at night that wouldn't mind the phone ringing). From 2004-2007, we spent welcoming in the New Year together over the phone, Grandma always stayed up really late and I can tell you that every phone call ended with "Always remember who loves you Chelsea, I do" This last New Years was different, I couldn't call Great Grandma, because she had moved to Highland Estates and she always fell asleep around 9. It was definitely different, but I was glad that I knew she was taken good care of. I loved going to Burley to visit Great Grandma, I would always "Surprise"her,because she would be so happy too see me. Sometimes I would call her and be talking to her on the phone when I walked in to her house and those moments I will never forget, she was always so surprised and made me feel loved. I will miss her dearly, but I know she is in a better place. The last time I saw her, we were taking her to the Dr., she was fighting everything in life, eating, sleeping, and LIFE. She was miserable and I knew that the time was coming for her. When I found out a couple weeks ago when the paintball tournament in Burley was going to be for Manuel, I was so excited because I finally was going to have time to go home and visit with her. I had some big plans for us, I was just going to visit her for a long time because I missed her. I miss her playing with my hair (Manuel plays with my hair too and , Great Grandma always would ask me if he still plays with my hair and if I like it as much still) I had it in my head that this would probably be the last time I would see her because all the news I had been hearing from the family, she wasn't doing very good. My plans changed on Tuesday, and I know they changed for the best, I am glad she is home, and where she has wanted to be for several years.

school....

School... I will have my Associates degree this may, in one month!!! wheww..this semester has been crazy but I am finally seeing a little light at the end of the tunnel. I am registering for fall classes tomorrow and I was so oh I don't know lost as too what I should do because I can get my Bachelors degree with the same stuff I am doing, but then some people were putting in my head that because I want to Manage a Doctors office one day eventually in my life time that I should get a business degree.I am glad I went and spoke to my advisor because with my bachelors degree and a little experience under my belt I can manage one day. I didn't need to take extra classes to get a business minor or get a business degree... I can do it all with my degree I have now. I am so happy because I am expected to Graduate in Dec 2009...I have 3 more semesters to do the adios BSU! Thanks to everyone support of hearing me complain about school....okay I think that goes to two people; my wonderful husband who has to put up with me because he lives with me and I don't think there is a way around not having to put up with and to my sister who always just listens and gives great advice.

Our little nephew: Aidan Thomas Todd

Chanc and Randy had their little baby on Monday morning at 7:40. We became an Aunt and an Uncle, and we are so excited. he weighed 7 lbs 7 0z and he was 20 in. He is so precious. Manuel and I ended up going to Moscow with my parents. it was to surprise them because I kept telling Chanc I didn't know when I would be able to come and visit. It was great to see Aidan on the first day of his life. He is so cute and we miss him so much, it was a long day but definitely worth all the driving to see him.
