When's the next vacation?!!?

It has been so crazy since I have gotten home! I got home on Monday and made some piles of laundry from my trip in the back room; I was going to do some loads the next day. On Tuesday morning, when I wake up, my adorable, little, snot of a dog (Shylo) had tore the beads off a brand new shirt that my mom bought me and the elastic off the bottom of my favorite caprice... she would have been shot if it hadn't have been for her saving grace (my husband!)

Later, that same morning, I received a sad call from my mother informing me that my Grandpa (my last living grandparent) has passed away. He had lost my grandmother about a year and a half ago and seemed to be doing well. But, I guess he had taken a pretty bad fall recently and just didn't seem to have the will to recover. He will be missed.

At first I wasn't sure if I should go out to the funeral since both Ken and I were out of work, but I decided that I would regret it if I wasn't there. So, while figuring out arrangements with my mom I have been looking for a job, dealing with school, trying to keep house, and doing it all in a house with no air in 90° weather!!!!!! I am dieing here!! We also had our land lord stop by and inform us that they want us to start working on our yard... you see, we have no lawn... just dirt, so the weeds are QUITE noticeable! I have gotten up around 7am a couple of times this week and went out to work on the lawn until it got too hot... you know, around 9AM!!!!

Anyhoo... My husband got a job yesterday, we don't know how permanent it is, but it's work. Late last night he called and asked me to bring him some dinner; on my way, the moon was just rising and it was a golden/orange color! I have never seen it like that in all my life... it was the most beautiful moon that I have ever seen!! I was hoping to get back to the house in time to pull out my camera and get some shots, but by the time I got home it had risen further in the sky and was just a golden color. Still... it was beautiful, so I took some pictures. I don't have the best camera, so I couldn't get it to focus very well... but, I got some (what I like to call) artistic shots and thought I would share. Enjoy!!
