For those of you who don't know, my grandpa passed away on May 27th. He had been sick for a while and while I miss him like crazy, it's good to know he's finally at peace. He's not suffering anymore and is in a better place. I'd love to have him back, but I wouldn't want him back the way he was. He suffered too much and was too good of a man to go through that.
For his funeral, we traveled to New York. That was an interesting trip! We drove up on Wednesday (the 1st) and stopped that night in Hamburg, PA. We got up the next morning and traveled on in to Long Island. My dad was driving through the trip and he got to drive in NYC for the first time. Heck, he had never been there at all, so his first experience with NYC was driving it. For those of you who have never been there, holy moly, it's crazy. So we're there for a night and go to the funeral the next day. The service was beautiful and the cemetery he's buried in is beautiful as well. It's a national military cemetery, so of course it was beautiful. On our way back, we stopped in Hoboken, NJ and stopped at Carlo's Bake Shop from the TLC show Cake Boss. It was a wonderful experience! We got my birthday cake there and it was delicious! It was a 2 layer cake, one white, one chocolate and had a layer of chocolate ganache in the middle. Holy guacamole it was wonderful!
That brings me to my next point. On the 30th, it was my birthday! Many (if not most) of you wished me happy birthday on my facebook, so you're already aware, but hey, a birthday is worth mentioning twice. I turned 26, so I'm officially closer to 30 than 20. A lot of people my age are scared of that 30 mark, but I'm totally cool with it. It's just a number!
Welp, that's all that's been going on in my life lately! Hope all is well with you!
Love,
