This was back in April, when Emily's boyfriend Shaun was visiting from England, and one night, our family got together to play The Candy Bar game. You can count all of them if you want, but I think the total was somewhere between 60-70. It was still lots of fun, and though not everyone got exactly what they wanted, we usually trade after all is said and done. Plus, since we've played this game a lot, our family know what everyone likes, and that just makes it harder.
On a much sadder note, our cat Pre passed away in his sleep back in May. The night before, he came downstairs and woke me up. I petted him for a little while, then he went down to underneath my bed. He was there in the morning, and when I came back from work. But before I went to bed, I tried to wake him, but he'd already gone. He was stiff when found, so he probably passed away in the morning, and we buried him in the morning. We won't be getting another cat, since mom & dad don't want to take care of a pet when they become empty nesters. We'll definately miss him, and the crazy things he does, like nap in the bathroom sink.
A month ago, my little brother Stuart and cousin Jarom graduated from my alma mater Snow College. It was fun for me go back to Ephraim, see the campus, and think back about the good old times. Vanessa will graduate from Snow this December, and Emily will begin her first semester there this fall. Now we need to get Ethan to go, so all the siblings can be Badgers.
Thanks for reading. I'll blog again soon.....hopefully. :)
