Really, since I turned 30, I had to put my cat to sleep and I lost someone I love so much. My Aunt Marsha (not biological aunt, but I've called her my aunt and she's treated me like a niece since I can remember!) passed away yesterday morning from complications from Lung Cancer. I had no idea I'd be as affected as I am.
My mom told me while I was at work, so I had to close my office door, get a good cry out, and then head off to a judicial with a state police officer and a resident! Not the easiest task!
But I'll digress to something more uplifting.
our trip to PA!
SO MUCH FUN!!!
We stayed with friends of ours from my last job, I was their RD and they worked for me as Resident Assistants. We bonded back then and have been close ever since.
They live RIGHT ON the Delaware River. SO BEAUTIFUL!!
I was nervous about the ride. Maddie can't even make the 15 minute ride to Target without getting whiny and crying. So, a 6 hour trip was going to be real fun.
However, she was awesome!!
Ryan bought me DVD players for the car for my birthday (it was what I wanted!!) and so she watched about 15 episodes of the backyardigans and Baby Einstein the whole way down!
We left at 12:30 on Friday, got to their house at 6pm on the dot! The ride was not bad at all, we barely hit ANY traffic!
When we got there, Kate had dinner practically on the table! Chicken Marsala! That girl can cook!!
Then I somehow drank a bottle of wine and was much too intoxicated! But it was so fun.
The next day we went into town (yes, into town - they live in the country, so much so that they get no cell phone service until you get 15 minutes away from their house!) We walked main street, which was so pretty, and ate lunch at a little cafe'. 
In the afternoon we took a walk down to their backyard, aka. the Delaware River! So pretty!
And that night she made pasta with bacon and peas, an avocado salad which was phenomenal and beer soup! Soooo good!
Unfortunately, I had to work at 2pm on Sunday, so by 8:30am we were on the road again, heading home. Maddie was great in the car again on the way home too!
I'll add some pictures, and we'll see what you think!

30 isn't working on me so far

Looks like a great trip...if she can last 6 hours she can last 3 days, come to WA!!! And 30 will get better, I promise!
I am so sad about Marsha and I am praying really hard for the family, she always went out of her way to be sure everyone was happy. If I still had my balloon pants (or could fit in them) I would be rocking those today in her honor!
I know it. I honestly am depressed about it. I can't stop crying over it. We got very close over the past few years and I am just devastated. I was closer to her than I am to my own family. And Uncle Dana just adored her and I am so sad for him. He just is lost without her. It breaks my heart.
I told Ryan that I HAVE to stop crying about it, I'll be at work and just bust out into tears and have to shut my office door to collect myself. It's just sooo sad. Honestly, this stuff makes me seriously question my faith; and that scares the crap out of me!
