Arizona here we come!

So we are going to Arizona on thursday morning to visit the g-parents. My dad's family. While they are not my favorite people in the world, they are family and seeing as how my grandfather's health is not good, away we go. I'm very thankful right now that my cousin Lori moved to the same town this summer as my g-parents. She ROCKS. Her family (my dad's brother) live in Iowa and are fabulous. They are the only ones that have been there for EVERY important event in my life. (My one other uncle would have been, but circumstances did not allow him. He's pretty cool too) So needless to say I'm pretty pumped that I will be able to see her!!

And I have decided that I'm INCREDIBLY lucky to have some pretty amazing friends. Several of them are going to make the 3 hour drive down to where my g-parents live to see me!

My grandmother was very irritated when I finished my travel nursing in Arizona because I chose to spend a day in Phoenix hanging out with my friends on a pub crawl on the saturday after my last shift. It was soo much fun, and they really all wanted to spend that time with me before I left. We were moving my father the following Monday to Texas. Her thoughts were that I should have come immediately to my father's the day I was finished so we could leave a whole one day sooner. Of course, she didn't tell me this, just my father. She was quite passive aggressive and (stupidly) asked me how it went when we finally all met up in Texas. *evil grin* I literally followed her around showing her pictures (that she obviously didn't want to see) and talking about my friends and how it meant so much to me and them to spend that last time together. If she didn't want to know, she shouldn't have asked. lol

I can't wait to see her face when a couple of them drive the 3 hrs to see me at her place. =)

Ok so maybe I'm being a little passive aggressive too, and I really am glad that I'm going to see her. I just hate when she treats my father like a child that has misbehaved. And like our family is incapable of making adult decisions.

Anyway, moral of the story is....I'M REALLY REALLY excited to get there. I really want to spend time with the g-parents and hang out. And I'm really really crossing my fingers that they don't belittle my father. Lord knows he doesn't need that.
