Nothing to exciting has happened in my life lately. I decided to go up for my Uncle David's funeral. I wasn't going to because before my uncle had passed away I told Thao at work that I would switch shifts with her since she had to do something on Wed. night. I knew that they would ask why I would switch shifts in the first place if I wouldn't have shown up. Well, I decided the night before to go up with Julie, Nathan, Jaden, Jenny, Bryan and Gabe (my parents went up the night before). We left around 6:30 in the morning. I called work in the morning to let them know what I wasn't coming in. When I had gotten up there and to the funeral, I was so glad that I had made the decision the call out of work. I wouldn't have ever known what an impact that this was going to have on me. When we got to the service and saw my uncle's box on the table (he was cremated) I immediately started to cry. I had no idea that is was going to hit me that hard that my uncle was gone. He was actually gone. I was glad that I had gotten to go up and say my last good bye. It was also neat to see Miriam and Naomi again. I hadn't seen them in like 10 years. Here are some pictures from the service and the cousins all together...

Jacob turned 24 on Mother's Day this year. He said that we could celebrate his b-day on Tuesday since that is really when we celebrate b-days anyways and let my mom do what she wanted for the day. Well, nothing ever turns out the way that we planned cause later on in the day Julie and Nathan took Jaden to the hospital and found out he had peunomia and RSV so my mom went up to the hospital to be with them and Jacob, my dad and me went over to Jen and Bryan's to have dinner. He was in the hospital for five days. Hopefully, he won't have to keep going through this. He has been sick on and off since Feb.
Tuesday was really low key. We ate out at TGIF's and then came back for a party. I made chocolate cupcakes and he got quite a bit of presents from everyone. It turned out to be a good birthday party.
