April and May Heartbreak

While work-wise, the month of April flew by, April and May are and will be hard months.


My grandma, Collene, passed away April 29, 2010. It's already been a year and I still catch myself calling her number to talk. It seems that a lot of the family has been lost in these months. As my mother knows, my "memory" timeline is a little off, but in middle/high school, we also lost my Grandpa Schell, Grandpa Rex and Uncle John. This time of year I always get a little sappy (and yes, lonely, too.).



It's a little worse this year because it feels like I'm never going to get home and visit. While I did get to go home for Christmas this year, I was by myself (as we couldn't afford for Brandon to go, too,) and my guess is that, if I can even manage to go home during work's "down time" this summer, I'll be on my own, too. Hopefully I can swing a visit this time (our students are gone from May 16 until August,) and hopefully the family isn't too busy and we can actually enjoy the visit.


Hopefully the WHOLE family can be reunited and can be as ridiculous as always. Anyone know of any cheap routes to Nevada?
