Hey papa. It's been about a month since I last talked to ya here. Joe and I got married on the 25th. Mom was able to be here. The wedding was nice. Wish you coulda made it in person but I know you were still there. We went to Tunica, Mississippi for our honeymoon. It was fun. We lost at the casinos but that's kinda a given, huh? The hotel was sucky. There was like nothing in the room but a bed, a bathroom and TV. You had to pay for cable and internet. There was like no place to eat so we had to go out and find a place. We ate at the yucky waffle house. You know I hate that place but it's all they had. You'd think as much money as those casinos make they'd have more amenities but nay nay. We got back on Sunday afternoon. Spent Sunday and Monday with mom. It was nice to have her here. She babysat the fur babies, Snickee and Jake.  Joe n I have been married almost a month. He is the absolute greatest thing that's ever happened to me besides becoming a mom and being y'alls daughter. He makes me smile every day and tells me every day I'm beautiful. :)
I don't know a whole lot. I'm working towards shift leader at work. Have a thick workbook to get thru. I'm supposed to certify on June 11 or 12. I know I can lead a shift, just not sure I know all what I need to of the LJS ways. Hopefully by then I will. I'm on book 6 of 10. After I make shift leader I think I wanna keep going and work towards assistant manager. That is a maybe right now but I think I could do it. Possibly. The confidence seeps from my pores, huh? LOL.
Shaun got remarried to his first wife this last week. Can't believe it though cuz they've only been back together about a month. He last saw her 6 years ago and they got back together online in late February, sometime in March. Then back together April 3. LOL! The first time they were married it lasted less than a year so we'll see how they do this time. I don't think it'll last but I wish him the best. Shaun ain't been nothing but mean and ugly to me so he could disappear and I wouldn't care. All I know is that I'm crazy happy with Joe and that's all I do care about.
Rob is still adjusting to life in Utah. Honestly can't believe he's still there. I thought for sure he'd make it like a week or two and then call me begging me to figure out how to get him back here. There's nothing for him here, nothing for him there. I just hope he finds his way. He dropped a massive heavy load on me the other night. Told me he was "on the fence" and since all the girls he's known have broken his heart that it wouldn't matter if he was with a guy cuz he wouldn't think about it. DAD!! OMG!! Talked to mom about it and we think that he doesn't really understand the complexity of what he's talking about or the repercussions of it. He could get seriously hurt or even killed. I don't think he realizes that. I think that he's found ppl that will accept him so he's willing to go along with whatever is proposed to fit in. Hopefully though he will really, really think about things before things get that far. I told him about how it's wrong in the eyes of God and the dangers of it. Holy moly dad! I wish you were here to thump some sense into your #1 grandson.
Mom is traveling with Auntie this week. They went to Carthage to see Diane and help her cuz she had to have her gallbladder out and then they are going to Richard's then back home. Just hope she's careful. I'm glad she's able to travel but I worry so much about her when she does. There have been tornadoes going thru Oklahoma and the Midwest. I worry about them out there. Oklahoma got hit twice this week. Sunday and yesterday. Moore got like obliterated. So much damage. So sad daddy and scary.
Okey dokey pokey. I guess I'll go. I don't know much else. It's been almost 3 years dad and I still miss you everyday. I miss talking to you, your bear hugs, your laugh, your orneriness, YOU! I love you dad. (forehead kiss) Talk to you in a little bit.
