| Neil sent back his RSVP!He declined, but he still took the time to return it! We never really expected him to be there and I frankly didn't even expect a response. We're pretty sure it was actually his hand writing. We compared it to some of the things we've had him autograph.
That made my day.

| Hey Weeble!I'm watching you!

| Work has sucked recently. I've felt very...defeated...with every project I've worked on. I'm lucky I have a wonderful girl to come home to, the wedding plans are going smooth and the weather has turned so I can get out fossil hunting. I had a banner trip 2 weeks ago with perfect conditions. They blasted the quarry wall Friday morning. Heavy thunderstorms came through that afternoon to wash the dust off the recent blast. We were the first group in Saturday. I found 6 trilobites included a beautiful flat or prone one and a double. The other three are rollers. I finished cleaning the single this weekend and I'm about half done with the double. I needed some fossil therapy.
Before:
After:
Here's the double. The second one is sorta rolled at the bottom.

| I guess this is time for me to ask for some vibes... I got a call from my dad today. My grandma fell twice in the last two days. She says she doesn't remember much about it and couldn't get up after it happened. Her legs just went weak under her. She's had 'mini' strokes in the past and also had fainting issues from simply standing up too quickly. She's talking and walking fine now, but it still has me concerned. My dad will be taking her to the doctor tomorrow. I already asked why she wasn't taken to the emergency room. At this point, it's passed. It was explained to me that a mini stoke is a blockage, not a blood vessel bursting, so it's not permanent. The blockage is gone so the symptoms are gone now. I'm probably not doing it justice, but that's the explanation as I understand it. I trust my dad would take her to the hospital if he felt it was needed. He spent every evening last week helping her pick up prescriptions the doctor/pharmacy kept screwing up. He worries about her. Right now, I'm just a little overwhelmed. I've been fighting a cold since Thursday. It has me drained. I spent last week in Edmonton for business. We had very long days and I have a ton of new work. I was in San Antonio 3 weeks ago. My boss keeps adding more things to my plate outside the normal development scope. I'm doing fine in school, but it's one more thing to focus on and try not to miss too many classes. I'm helping Amy with wedding planning as much as I can. I don't think she feels like she's planning the whole thing herself. I just want to believe this is no big deal. She stood up too quickly, got light headed and fainted. She's 87 and has a ton of meds. I know it's gonna happen sometime. I just want her to be around for our wedding this summer. She was so happy at my first wedding. I was the first grandkid to get married. She always said she didn't expect to see me graduate highschool. Now, she's seen all four of her grandkids graduate highschool, college and get married. I was so scared to tell her I was getting divorced. She's a hard core Catholic and took my parents divorce very hard. She seemed to understand when I told her and just wanted me to be happy. I want her to see me get married and know this time I'm going to live happily ever after. She's my only living grandparent. I just want to believe this is no big deal. | | |
