Thought....

I went to visit my grandpa in Oregon last weekend, 8 hours in a car all by myself which gave me a lot of time to think and there is a thought that came to me that I thought I would share.

On my dad’s side of that family we have a line that were Jewish and came from Lithuania. This was my great-great-grandmas family. When she was 16 she married a non-Jewish man and her family disowned her. Because of this we cannot find any of her family besides a couple brothers. We have checked in so many places with no luck, even at the genealogy library. It makes me really sad that we cannot find this line of my family! It makes me sad because they are all on the other side of the veil waiting for their work to be done, and unless someone else does their work they will have to wait for the millennium.

I think that too often we forget that the choice we make do not just effect us but they effect our whole line of family that comes after us and all those that love us, whether the choice be good or bad, the effect will be felt for ever. Just like my great-great-grandmothers family disowned her, I am sure they are kicking themselves now because they are going to have to wait for a long time for their work to get done and they lost the chance to see their daughter grow-up and to see their grand kids.

This was a reminder to me that I need to do something that is going to leave a line that I can be proud of and that will be strong. Like they say to every action there is a consequence.

Forever later............

Sooooo…. once again it has been forever since I have blogged so here is my life update… I graduated! YAY! Took me long enough! I graduated with a degree in Medical Administrative Assisting and certificates in Medical office assisting, medical transcription (which I am not so great at but I passed!), medical coding, and one in institute of religion. I did all that while working graveyards as a cashier at Wal-mart. My mom and Aunt Judy came to visit and attend the graduation. It was sweet.

What’s next…… I have to do and internship this summer for the medical administrative assisting and medical coding and then I can find a job that would let me have more of a normal life…I can wait! Until then, I am continuing to work graveyards until the end of summer.

Other than that not much else is new. The guy I had been dating for awhile left for Air Force Basic the end of last month. We are just friends now. Exciting thing happened though, the whole time we were dating I tried to get him to go to church, and he did….twice. Since he has been at basic he actually goes, according to an email from some missionaries on base and a letter his parents received from Elder Oaks. That would be a huge change for him if he actually continued going….miracles do happen though.

Other exciting news, my sister and bother-in-law had their baby! Cute little Bradley Daniel Edwards was born March 25. I have yet to meet him, but I love him already! I get pictures all the time to….thank goodness for picture phones.

That’s all for now! Have a happy day!

Stupid!!!!
