The calm after the storm

This weekend has been unreal. I'd say probably one of the toughest weekends I've had in the past couple of years. Watching the man I love go through something so heartwrenching and sucking up all of his emotions and trying not to shed a tear to keep his family strong...it broke my heart. Especially watching the rest of his family that I care deeply for, weeping and heartbroken really made me just as sad. No pain compares to having a loss of a grandparent, mother, sibling, etc... I can only imagine how much it hurts. Some times I felt completely helpless. I wanted to do so many things for them and couldn't find the ways to do it. I just did what I could, and that was to comfort and support them throughout this unfortunate loss. The funeral is this Wednesday and I still ask for your prayers and thoughts for Ant and his family.

On a brighter note, I also got to visit some family as I was leaving back to Dallas. I went to visit my Uncle Hector and I FINALLY got to see my cousin Madison's apartment in San Marcos! Why the hell has it taken me this long to finally swing by?! haha It was such a breath of fresh air seeing her! I needed my best friend! After a quick hour of seeing her I had to get back on the road :( Luckily I got home right on time to see the season premiere of Kourtney and Kim Take New York! I've been waiting for this show foreverrrrr now and I love it! Unfortunately I forgot I had homework later that night and was working on 2 papers and tons of reading all the way into the AM. Boooo! That being said, I got no sleep whatsoever. Can you say exhausted? After my long day and lack of sleep I finally got to squeeze a nap in. I already can tell this is going to be a long exhausting week and I'm completely dreading it.

Long story short, I want this week to go by and Anthony back home :(
