So I was requested to update my blog by Nathan, so this is me doing so. I find this rather amusing b/c I have probably updated this at least 4 times in the last week and he has yet to update his, so this is me requesting him to update his :p (I say this b/c I know he will read this and probably do so.. :p) Anyways, what to say....Well my cousin has returned up north to spend time at my grandparents with her dad before heading back home to her house to start band camp and school sometime in august. It was nice having her here to visit for awhile, but I'm glad things have finally settled back in to normal. It was getting hard to keep finding things to entertain her with while she was around. I got tired of playing the same games and doing the same things, so I was glad that things have settled back down into our normal routine. Don't get me wrong, I love my cousin, but I after awhile I get to needing my space, and feeling like I had to entertain her all the time was starting to feel like a chore. I'm sure she will be back next summer and it will be fun to have her around, a little different b/c at that point i'll have my son to take care of, and hopefully won't still be living at home, and will have a job, but it will be nice to see her again when she returns! :)
To get her where she needed to be that meant that we would be taking a trip up to ohio. We drove up this past weekend and stayed at my grandparents house for a couple of days. We left bright and early on friday morning and got to their house around 3pm. It wasn't a bad drive at all and it didn't feel like we were in the car for a long time. It was nice to get there and be out of the car when we finally did arrive and that started our weekend visit. Friday was a fun day and we just hung out at their house and played games and ate some delicious food and then went to bed. The next was saturday and I decided I was going to take pictures around my grandma's house to show nathan all the creepy things she keeps there, such as the dolls and other such crazy things. Katie also would be heading out this day which meant that my uncle and other grandma would be coming to pick her up. They arrived around noon and we all had a nice lunch before they headed out and took katie up to michigan for a little bit. Before they arrived I was in a rather upset mood and had to make myself cheer up so I wouldn't be bitter. I was so upset because my brother, sister, dad, and grandpa were outside shooting the rifle gun as practice and I wanted to go out and try. I was inside playing cards with my mom and katie and she was talking about how she didn't want to shoot, but the minute I said I was going to go, she was all about it. Well I walked outside to see if I could come and the first thing my dad says is "do you think it's a good idea in her condition" like I was incapable of shooting a gun b/c I was pregnant. This really hurt my feelings because the way he said it made it seem like I had this horrible thing that was wrong with me and I couldn't partake when everybody else was. I decided to walk around the house and just let the comment go b/c I didn't want to make a scene. Well when I got back to where everybody was he was like okay you want to try? So of course I did, but when I went to pick up the gun I wasn't holding it right, but I needed to hold it one way and then move it the other for it to seem comfortable to me. Well when I did that my grandpa and dad flipped out and kept telling me I needed to it another way, and I was going to but they didn't let me explain and my grandpa was like "if you're not going to do it right you can't do it all" So this really hurt my feelings and I ran away and started getting really upset. I didn't see what the big deal and I could tell they didn't think I should be doing it anyways, and I kept feeling like they were looking at me like I was breaking some law of something or I was gonna hurt myself, so I just stormed off and went inside to not be bothered. Nobody brought it up and my mom didn't even come in to see if i was okay. My dad knew he had upset me, but just did his whole "pat on the back/back rub" thing he always does and didn't say anything. Well that was even more annoying, and since my grandma's house is so small, there was no place I could go to hide out and not be bugged by anybody. I was upset for a good hour or so and then got interrupted when my grandma and uncle showed up. I was still in a sour mood when they got there so I just didn't get into conversation much b/c I didn't want to snap or end up crying for no reason. The only thing that made me feel a whole lot better was when I texted Nathan and he talked to me for a little bit. He told me he would teach me how to shoot a gun and that made me feel better b/c I knew that if my dad and grandpa wouldn't be patient with me I hoped he would at least be more willing. I was just so upset b/c my sister got to leave and tell her boyfriend that she got to shoot a 22 caliber rifle for the first time in ohio and i knew he'd be proud of her....he's got a gun and always talks about hunting and I just wanted to have a really awesome story to be able to tell my boyfriend when I got back. I didn't think it was fair that she had a cool story to tell and I had nothing. I was sad b/c I just wanted to come back with this epic story to tell nathan and he could be like "man, my girlfriend is so cool" ....but no, instead I came back with nothing. I just hope one day I will end up having a really awesome story to tell. Well now that I'm in a sad mood from reliving all of that, I'm going to write about something less upsetting.
Well our drive back home was decent, we did run into rain, but it wasn't so horrible. On the way home my dad wanted to stop by his old college where he went to school and show us what it looked like, so we did. It was kind of neat to hear his stories and see where he lived for four years of his life and where he met my mom. After that short detour, we headed home for the long hull. When we finally arrived home at about 5pm i unpacked and then repacked to head down to Nathan's. I got to his place around 630 7ish and then talked to him for a little bit before going to get some food at McDonald's. We decided we would start building his halo ship i got him for his birthday back in may and that was a fun project for us to work on. We worked on it for a couple of hours before we got tired and decided to head to bed. This morning we woke up and started working on it again. We are 2/3 of the way finished but unfortunately can't go any further due to the fact that we are missing a piece. I'm thinking it's lost somewhere in Nathan's room... Maybe he will be prompted to clean in order to find the missing piece...lol, doubtful. :p I mean he's a guy, and in my experience, guys tend not to clean much. :p haha! After we got stuck and couldn't find the missing piece we watched tv for a little while before he decided to come in his room and play COD. I'm now sitting on his bed listening to him talk/yell at his friends and the tv while playing. I've been put-sing around facebook and dailybooth.com updating my social networks I have, and just kind of chilling. I don't know how much longer he will be playing, but I hope it's not to much longer. I think we should put in a movie and watch that as something to do, but who knows if that will happen. Anyways, all is going well on my end. I'm off to chill and play bubble shooter until Nathan finishes his game of COD. :)
