I am finally back on the east coast...and no there was no damage to my car or apartment as many of you asked during my break.  Konrad is still alive and kick'in and won't leave my sight.  Belle is still in the loving care of her fairy god mother, Danielle, and I will get to see her tomorrow.  Grandpa's service yesterday was beautiful and he would have been very proud.  My grandma was so strong and I know she was putting such a brave face on for grandpa.  It was almost like I could see what I was two months ago through her eyes.  I wanted Kevin to be proud of me after his memorial service so I put on a brave face when all I wanted to do was curl up in a ball and cry for hours.  When I landed in New Hampshire I felt like I was home, like God knew I needed to get into school here not for the education, but to help me through the most difficult time in my life.  I have some angels here that I know will help me through the next stage in my life.  I feel like my grandpa and Kevin are so connected and I will rarely think about one without the other now. 
         The picture above is from Kevin and I's rehearsal dinner.  I had planned such a great day of floating the river and catered Mexican food at a park with beach volley ball and frisbee.  My plans were ruined by the rain and I was devastated.  Kevin took me in his arms that day and wiped away my tears as he told me it would be okay and the rain didn't ruin anything because no matter what...we were still getting married the next day.  Even though Kevin wasn't with me yesterday, I still felt like he wiped away my tears because I know grandpa was with him.
