Michigan week, Signs from heaven, SNOW!!!

 
                                            It's officially Michigan week here in CBUS.

  For those of you who aren't football shabby.
One of the BIGGEST college football rivalries is against THE Ohio State & Michigan. This Saturday will be the day my boys will BEAT down those Wolverines, once again!

Sorry i'm not sorry if you're a Wolverine.

Football is the one thing I love about this time of year. Yeah, I don't know a lot of the things that happen during a game, But I know more than I knew 3 years ago.

Billy is a maniac over football so I'm kind of bound to watch it with him. Which I have no problem with now a days. Did I just admit that? What's the world coming too? :)

Since Billy lives like 3 minutes away from the horse shoe stadium. It's pretty amazing seeing everyone representing the Buckeyes come game day. Really, it's like that all year around here. What can we say we are proud.
Every year the students have this tradition before the BIG game. There is a little pond on campus they call Mirror Lake, it's not a lake so I have no clue how they came about naming it, when it's clearly a pond.
 But, Anyways the students jump in the pond & just go crazy. Need I remind you, here in Ohio it's freezing this time of year. The student go all out though, girls wearing bikini's, guys just wearing shorts. IT'S JUST CRAZY!  It's a pretty big thing here but this year they are cracking down & whoever wants to attend the jump needs wristband. you can't even just watch. pretty ridiculous but things have to be done.

      Just looked out my window an it's a winter wonderland outside!!!!
      This girl is definitely happy.
       I love the SNOW!
CBUS is under a winter weather watch until Wednesday around 10am.
All I'm asking this year is that we have a white Christmas.

  One year when I was little, It's was Christmas Morning. My Sister & I woke up all excited for presents, you know typical kids. But, the first thing I noticed was the snow outside. I could careless about the gifts. it was funny.
  That snow fall was a surprise for everyone, no one was expecting it.

So, do you ever wonder how you'll know if your love ones from heaven is sending you signs??
Lately, I've been finding a lot of pennies heads up. I'm superstitious when it comes to different things. Picking up a penny heads up is one of them. I believe picking a penny heads up is good luck and if you pick up a penny tails up, it'll bring bad luck.

 Since my Grandfather passed away., I don't believe I've ever seen a penny tails up. Everytime is see a penny heads up I'll keep it. I feel it's a sign from my Poppy, him letting me know he's with me. 

Poppy kept all kinds of coins. He was a true believer in saving change.  I mean you see! Could this be a sign from him? I don't know I strongly feel it could be. I need Teresa Caputo :) 

Well I'm heading to bed. 

If I don't blog before Thanksgiving, Everyone have a safe & happy Thanksgiving :) xoxo

GO BUCKS!!!

It's 4:15am & I'm wide awake! 

Billy & I fell asleep after attending a friend of our's going away party. I think we took give or take about a 3 hour nap. I don't remember what time we crashed. Lol you would think we were drunk or something. Definitely not! 

 So I just finished watching this movie called "The Way Way Back" it's pretty much an all-star cast, Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Maya Rudolph, etc etc. it was really good. it's basically telling us to stand our grounds in all situations, don't let no one tell you how to live your life or change you from who you really are. 

Get some backbones! 

I guess I should just go to bed. ;)

Goodnight Loves

"Do not weep at my grave. I'am not there. I ride the wind and walk among the clouds. My pain is gone and replaced with wings. I am with my God and no greater joy is there. Do not weep for what I was. Rejoice at what I have become."

  On this day a year ago at 12:24pm i lost the GREATEST man i known, My Poppy (Grandfather).
It's been a year??
why does it feel like it was just yesterday?

Everyday i still grieve my Grandfather's passing, it just doesn't feel real to me yet. Is that weird? i mean, it goes from spending 24/7 with him, to not seeing him or able to talk to him at all. I remember every single bit of the day he passed.

 Hospice care just arrived at my Grandparent's house. My family was all together & we were all there with Poppy except Daisy, their dog. Poppy was never too fine about having a dog, it just wasn't his thing but my Aunts talked him into it and Daisy absolutely adored Poppy. We knew Poppy loved Daisy, he just didn't want anybody to know. :) We weren't stupid! Anyways,  Daisy was in the backyard and she knew something was going on. So, I decided to let her in. Daisy ran in & went straight to Poppy's bedside, I went over to Poppy and i told him that Daisy was laying right beside him. Poppy then looked at me and just did something weird, i freaked out kinda and got the nurse. Next thing i knew he was gone! I was in a shocked kind of stage at first, but when he passed we all sort of felt relief because we knew he wasn't in pain anymore. I go outside to get some air, come back in the house, look at Poppy and my eyes become a waterfall.

 Millions of things were going through my mind. That can't be my Grandpa! He's suppose to walk me down the aisle at my wedding, see my children... Went over to the bedside where my Grandpa was laying, knelt down, grabbed his cold hand, and just talked to him. I couldn't stop crying nor could i leave him. Then, the funeral home came and i had to leave him. I followed them as they took my Grandpa's body out of the house, into the car and just sat on the steps and watched the van with Poppy's body drive down the street until the car disappeared. More tears just began to run down my face.

  To be honest... I don't know how I can get over his death. So much pain lays inside of me.
I always wonder if he's looking down on me or if i'm making him proud.

   One thing i always tell myself is that he's in heaven & isn't suffering anymore. I need to quit being stubborn. God needed a angel & He wanted Poppy. Poppy will forever be my Guardian Angel.<3

    Poppy, I Love You & Miss You so very much! Rest in Heaven <3
