Life with Gling

admin November 11th, 2004

Ok, it’s been forever since I’ve posted anything. I’ll do my best to get you updated. That is…if anyone actually reads this thing enough to have missed me. The biggest thing that has happened was the passing of my Grandpa Cox. He was 80 and he and my grandma have lived down the road from me for most of my life. He was a Methodist minister since he was like 20 years old. Quite honestly, he’s been one of the most influential persons in my life. Though it was a shock at first, it’s gotten easier to deal with. Losing Grandpa has really made me examine my life and begin to re-think a lot of things. Grandpa helped me to become the Christian I am today…and I realize that even more so now. I stayed up at my parent’s house for a week to help with funeral preparations and to be with Grandma. It was a wonderful week. We haven’t had our entire family together for such a long time. It was great to see all my long-lost cousins and aunts and uncles…etc. etc. The week after all of that, I got the flu. It was aweful…and I slept a lot. That pretty much explains that week. Since then things have gotten back to normal. Work keeps me busy and I’m still traveling to college fairs once in awhile. I just had a fair up in Dixon, Illinois (by Rock Falls). It was great because I got to eat lunch with Grandma and Grandpa Sparks and then I got to stay over at Geof and Lauri’s house (my brother and his wife). The next morning I was lazy and went to the craft mall before I headed back to Greenville. I bought lots of cute fall decorations for our apartment. It looks so festive and fun now! I also got a call that afternoon, from Bill, our wedding photographer. He FINALLY had our wedding pictures done. Now we have lots of massive pictures of ourselves to put up all over the place too. I must admit…Jared and I looked HOT that day. Seriously…good stuff. Anywho…I’m going to finish up this post here. I’ll try to post more regularly from now on. Leave me messages!
