This has been a super crazy week...with birthdays, general conference, becoming a Coupon Sense Instructor, work training classes in Tempe, kids out on fall break and my Grandpa being flown in to a hospital here in Phoenix and not doing well and taking my Grandma to visit him...I've just not had one single second to post. I have a ton of new pictures and am hoping to post soon!
My Step-Grandpa is really the only Grandpa I've known since he's been married to my Grandma for almost 28 years now. :o) He's been sick for awhile and been on dialysis for a couple of years but he got a major infection and isn't doing well at all. I won't go into the details because it is heart breaking and it's 11:30pm on a work night for me but needless to say it is very sad to see him suffering so much. My poor Grandma is extremely sad of course and now is dealing with health issues of her own...she has had skin cancers removed over the years many times however last week when she had some removed they biopsied them and discovered that they are the bad type of cancer that will require radiation treatment and more removal immediately so she's starting that today. Seems like we've had one thing right after the other in our family lately. Seeing those you love and care for suffer in any way is so difficult and getting older is so painful, it makes me feel so grateful to be so healthy right now.
I've barely seen my husband and kids this week but lucky for me they are troopers and understand. I've got brain overload from all of this work training classes and looking forward to going back to a normal day tomorrow. We've gotten to work 4 10's so we can have Friday off with our children who are on fall break this week. I think this weekend Grandma is going to come and stay with us for a few days so I can drive her to the hospital etc easier and that will be fun she is such a sweetie and I just love her so very much!!! We're praying for Grandpa and as soon as life allows I'll post some new pictures and updates...not just sad stuff. :o)

That is so sweet of you to help with grandma, I know she could really use some company and a change of pace! Thanx for the sweet post, and hopefully things will slow down for you soon. Love ya.
Sister,
Thanks for the update. You are so nice and thoughtful to help grandma. Wish I was able to help. Please tell Grandpa we love him and give him a hug when you see him as well as grandma. You are a very busy lady...I hope that things calm down for you soon. Give those cute kiddo's a kiss from aunt brandy.
xoxoox
I am glad your mom is doing better. I watched Air Supply sing to her. So cool. I was the same about them. We would sing our hearts out to them. haha It was cool to watch Brandy in action. That was the first time I have see what she does. So proud of her!
