I'm missing him today,

the man that wore this hat.

I love him.

It's been almost three months since he left us. 

I think about him daily.

Grandpa, you were more than this granddaughter could ever ask for.

For those of you who know of this hat and love it as much as I do, don't worry its not mine to keep....as far as you guys should know.... i'm just saying that so you don't get jealous....sshhhh don't tell dad i stole it.

The Craven Clan

I don't think I have ever seen this many photos in a blog post but you will all have to deal.

You see the Craven Clan had a small gathering on Sunday.

We all brought delicious food and had great company.

Grandpa and Grandma were both sitting there all so cute so I whipped out my camera and took pictures with them and the cousins. 

I love all of them so stinkin' much and I wanted to document the memories.

So sorry if you do not enjoy large amounts of pictures but I do...for today.

Let me explain the next three photos. 

I love my dad to pieces.

As I was taking these cute photos with him my dear sister Jennifer asked if he got as much attention from them as he does from us. He then went on to complain that I never give him kisses on the cheek. 

I proceeded to try to kiss him as he tried to pull away.

He finally gave in.

-Blue teeth, don't get a blue slushy on a date it never turns out well; 

good thing she had me there to point and mouth "your teeth are blue!"

-3-D design class wire girl. She got me good. Clipped a piece that shot right to my neck. 

I must not have been coherent, I came to after staring at her for 30 seconds, she asked me if I was okay....

Silence, keep staring Kimberly that's the way to make friends. 

-"Lost in Austen" where Darcy comes rising out of the water like a creep!

-I saw "one of those" yesterday, wasn't that fun.

-Trying on Glasses, "excuse me, mam, you're in the men's glasses."
"Yeah, I know."
That's right walk away, while I silently walk over to the women's. It's fine.

-Luke's work pants. Man you are stylish. Like way stylish.

Like-a-Boss:

-I made a new friend, she likes to sign and read my lips. I was her brothers keeper, that's right Brother Eggett, and I liked it!

-Recess: Schools Out. Now owned by me! Was is just me or did anyone else have a crush on TJ?

-Art supplies all in one place, check. I love my new toolbox.

-Tonight equals VD, brownies, video games with Ruthie, can I get a high five? word.

-Collin Raye. His voice lately it like medicine to my soul. Which reminds me of my new ringtone.
Not dear Collin but still cool.

-My ipod shuffle. Art classes are a breeze thanks to that little thing.

-School aka good looking men, you may be married, its fine, I'll check you out anyway & my classes, this it my dream semester, for now. oh wait, and walking by the loco-motive department, cars being rebuilt before my eyes, yeah you're cool, what now?
Can I join you?

-Trying on clothes, loving them, and putting them back. That's right, self-control right there.

-Letting Dorothy think she's helping Hailey, instead of me helping myself.
"Sure, I don't care if I have all of Friday off, go ahead take my shifts."

-When Grandpa can hardly say a word (he had a stroke which left him unable to use his words I'm sure there's a technical word for it), and while I hug him he says "You're so precious." He cried then I cried, and Tam, and then grandma. We had a crying fest.
Thank you grandpa for making my life!
