The circle of life...

I had plans to go to Chattanooga this weekend to visit family including a very sick great uncle that had cancer, but he passed away earlier this week. So David and I went on Thursday for the visitation and spent the night with my parents at a hotel then went to the funeral Friday morning. It was very emotional, but at least he is not suffering anymore. He had prostate cancer before and they didn't get rid of all of it, and it came back in his liver and pancreas. I am most sad for Aunt Jane because she and Uncle Durwood spent so much time together. They even still slept in the same bed until he got really sick. He was 81, they had been married for 54 years, he had worked for the railroad for 44 years, and served in the Navy. The military cemetary he was laid to rest in was impressive. Even though it was very sad, it was nice to be around family from Chattanooga, New Orleans, Tuscumbia, etc. that I don't get to see often. They are excited about Marlee coming into the world in a little over 3 months!

So much to do during this last trimester. But we are getting so excited! We are so fortunate to be getting so much second hand stuff. I am now mostly registered for other things we need, and need to start planning showers. Getting ready to start decorating the baby room. Still not for sure decided on a wall color, b/c Dave still wants to do red. I'm ok with a dark red for part of it, but want to use purple, green, and other accent colors. We need a massive shelving unit in the big closet. And I have to organize all the other stuff that we're keeping that used to be in the room.

Dave got offered his old job back at ABEC, shop guy. He goes next week to talk to the owner's about specifics and sign paperwork. The higher ups have changed hands a little and they are willing to "work" with Dave's musician lifestyle, but he plans to ask off as little as possible. I'm relieved that we'll be getting more steady income to save up for when Marlee arrives, but I'm sad that Dave has to go back to a day job instead of making enough money with music alone. He'll never quit music, and hopefully it will still only keep getting better. They are recording their second album still, and I'm excited for it to come out. So many people are ready for more Delilah Why music!

I got to see Brittany this morning since she's in town for Memorial Day weekend, I met her in Huntsville for lunch and some shopping (of course I didn't buy anything, and Brit kindly paid for lunch). She got Marlee the cutest onesie and bib! Delilah Why is in St. George Island, FL til Monday for shows. I'm going to see Sex and the City 2 with Julie and Mallory tomorrow...excited! I'm so ready for our beach trip in a week and a half with Jon and April!

Temps are officially in the 80s...gonna need some pool time soonly!
