awake.

we didn't get home until 2 in the morning but the trip was all worth it. as soon as we pulled into the hospice, granny bea was outside in the wheelchair with my uncle and his family. she had no idea i was coming and i definitely surprised her. i hate what she's having to go through. she can't get up on her own, eat, use the bathroom, do anything hardly without having help. when just a year ago she was laughing, cooking, being crazy, driving, she was more normal than an older person. thats how bad cancer can bring you down but she's lived a great life and has alot of loving family to keep her smiling until it's time for her to go.

we had the funniest trip getting down there. first, we left get some gas right down the road from the apartment... chase can't get the gas handle out of his car so he yanks it and gas gets ALL over him. i swear, he was about to get arrested he was so mad. so then, i had to calm him down and we went back so he could change... now on our way to georgia, we pass chattanooga and realize we're hungry. we get off an exit to mcdonalds, his card wouldn't swipe right and they wouldn't take it. THEN we went to hardee's a few exits down... we realize they don't have hashbrowns anymore.. we get back on the interstate and not paying attention we're headed back towards nashville. hahahahaha. we have to drive 8 miles before we turn around and finally back on the right path we found a burger king and said hell with it. we finally got there and had quite a bit of fun! it was an adventure.

my dad showed up at the hospice and we kind of rekindled our relationship. i'm not getting my hopes up though but he gave chase $200 for gas and bought us dinner and to my surprise he was acting really cool. in april, we might be going camping and fly fishing with him. whoo.

well that shortly explains our trip :)
