These classes are eating my time way harder than I thought they would, which overall isn't a bad thing. It just means the semester will end way faster than I realize. 

My mom came over this Sunday, and I gave her the Snoopy. I originally planned for it to be a birthday present, but I didn't want to give it to her in front of everyone. It felt like it should be an "us" thing. She loved it and sent me the picture below. 

There's a new position open at work that I'm interested in, so I'm working on applying for it. I don't mind my current job, but it's more up my alley as far as interests go. 

As far as everything else goes, something clicked and, while I still miss my dad horribly, I'm no longer as lost, I guess you might say. We've made it a month (on the calendar) and we can make it more. She's cleaning out his closet and other things so she can start her new life. As much as I hate it, Life Starts Now, and there's no reason not to follow it. 

While we sat there at marble slab, watching different couples and families and people go in and out, we reflected on how the world doesn't stop for anyone or anything.  No matter how awful an event you may have, for the person next to you it could just be a Tuesday. I think that's why it's so important to really try to show grace to those around us because we really don't know what they may be going through. 

Saturday's the game, and I have a ton of programming to do around it, so I guess I'll get back to it.
