Nicole’s Life











{May 13, 2008}   Sorry I’m a slacker!!

Ok So I am a slacker, but hey I’m sure most of you guys already know this!!

So a recap of last month!!

 

Let’s see I finally received a job offer!! I started working on 5/5/08 for a University where my role is an Admission Advisor!!  This is only my second week but I am enjoying it very much!  Everyone I work with is extremely nice!!

 

On a more depressing note this last few weeks has been extremely hard!
Danny’s Father:  Thomas Brennan passed away on April 16, 2008.  He was an amazing man who raised a wonderful family of 8!  RIP Tom.

This really hit home for me.  I think knowing how Danny & his siblings must be feeling. 

His father was very ill and had been suffering for quite some time.  He told Danny a few days before he passed away about how much pain he was in!!  Of course this doesn’t make the loss any easier. 

Last week on May 6, 2008 my Aunt Passed away.  RIP Sandra Sanders –  I Will Miss you Greatly!!  She had been fighting Leukemia for roughly 6 years and was really sick over the last year!  Her Brother donated Bone Marrow and she had a transplant in December.  The sad part is the leukemia was gone!!  But other complications arose and she was suffering greatly.  It’s great to think she is in a better place but very hard to know that you will never see her again, laugh with her, hug her.  She was truly a wonderful & Fun Aunt.  One of the things I remember most about her is the birthday cards she sent.  Every year I would receive a birthday Card for my birthday, it was always humorous and signed in a number of different colors. 

 

My Dad, Many & Brayden, Wendy & Jeremy were in over the weekend for my Aunts funeral.  As always it was very nice to see them and hang out!!  Wendy is definitely showing (she’s pregnant in case anyone did not know!)  She is expecting a little girl in September!!  That’s all my family needs is another girl!!  I’m excited for them and hope that everything continues to go well!! 

 

The last few weeks I have been kinda down. I guess with all the things I had already listed above and knowing that my birthday and the birthdays of many of my friends were soon.  I do miss my family!! I am pretty used to being away from them for my birthday but I usually am surrounded by friends!  I have been very lonely and wishing definitely missing my ETSU Friends.  I do speak with a few of them regularly but I would give anything to hang out!!  We should totally plan a trip to meet in JC and have a reunion!!

 

So guess what?? I’m 30!!!  

Yesterday I celebrated my 30th birthday!! 

I was planning on having dinner with my Aunt Dar, Sabrina, and her kids (Dominic, Markos, Isabella, and Adriano).  When I arrived my aunt said she was too tired to cook so we were going to eat Pizza!! To my surprise when I arrived at the restaurant there were many family members waiting to celebrate with me!  Those who were there:  Aunt Terry, Uncle Dan, Chrissy, Aunt Diana, Mike, Mary & Michael, Uncle Howard, Tommy, Aunt Diane & Uncle Lloyd!  It truly made for a wonderful birthday!!  Thanks to all who attended and made my 30th Birthday Wonderful!! 

 

So I guess this is enough for now. I should actually do some work!

Hopefully with work and other things going on I will actually have interesting things to write about for the future!! I will do my best to Update Regularly!!
