I. Love. Her.
She makes me cry (the picture below) , laugh (the picture above) , and everything in between.
We are moving to Nashville together as soon as she turns 18 and becomes an adult.
And I won't have to stand one more day of this town. <3
I love that Holly chick. She is my life...
She saves my life.
I love her.

Holly.
Do you know how much I love this girl? Like... really, really, really love this girl.
So whenever we're all like sad or something.. we message on each others Facebook wall that we need the other person and then that person's there to talk about anything. I was havin' a crap day today.. nothing's going right... and so I message on her wall. In like 2 minutes she's on chatting with me. Wasn't expecting that <3 But I had to go so I just told her nevermind, and to forget about it. She didn't respond so I left and went to the gym.
When I came home about 2 hours later, I had missed two calls from her and she had left a voicemail both times. And she commented on my status on Facebook. I mean, that's true love right there. She was honestly worried about me because of what I had said <3
I freakin' love that girl.
A lot.

Finally home..
It's been a long week. But we're home. Finally. We flew out to Granddad's funeral on Friday, got in around 6, ate dinner, checked in at the hotel, and went up to our room to relax for a few minutes. Gave Holly a call, she didn't answer though :P Went to pick up my cousin at the airport, drove around LAX for a while 'cause her plane got in late, went back to the hotel, and went to bed. The next day we got up, went to breakfast, dropped my dad off at the viewing, went to get lunch, came back to the viewing, went to the funeral, and the burial, and everything. After, my dad and myself went to Downtown Disney and spent the evening there to get away, got ice cream, went to Grandma & Grandpa's (Hulterstrom) house, picked out some of Grandma's old jewelry for me to keep, and went back to the hotel and went to bed. We flew home this morning after breakfast at the hotel, got upgraded to first class:) landed, took the bus to our car, drove to Grandma & Grandpa's (Anderson) house, had a little Easter party because I didn't even realize it was Easter until we landed in Utah and all the signs were like "Happy Easter!" :P Spent some time with Vivian, love that chick. Came home, FINALLY (Be proud) changed the flag up at the cemetery for Katelyn (the picture). Came home again, and now I'm practicing guitar and updating myself on everything I missed while I was gone. Eventful.

Grandma & Grandpa Hulterstrom
I had a dream a few nights ago. Weird because I almost never dream and if I do I sure don't remember it. Anyway, I was standing next to my grandma who passed away last month, holding her hand. How different she looked, it was amazing, a good 50 or so years younger than I ever remember her as. She kept on talking about how excited she was for something but I couldn't tell what. She was so happy, like she was going to explode if she had to wait any longer. She said everything was ready, they were just waiting until it happened.
I was at dinner last night with my dad when he answered a phone call coming in from his brother. My grandfather had passed away.
No doubt in my mind that my grandma was just waiting for him up there. I get chills every time I think of how big she must have smiled when he came through the veil. Hugs and kisses were many I'm sure. I don't cry because I think of how happy they are now and how happy they'd want us to be.
My grandma was an amazing person. She was alwas thinking about others and never herself. She took care of my granddad for a long time while he was mentally ill with dimensia. While he was moved into another home with other senior citizens, she visited him often. She would walk, no matter what her own health was, to take care of my granddaddy every day. She was always serving, a little while before she died she was moved to a senior citizen center, and the first day she was there, the Monday before she died, he called her son to take her home teaching to the sisters in her ward. A phone call was simply not good enough. My grandma touched many lives while she was here, including mine and I will never forget her and always, no matter what, love her and think of her often. I cant wait to see her in heaven.
I don't have much memory of my granddad. All of my memories of him only go so far back. He's been mentally ill for much of the time that I've grown up. It was hard on me for him not to know my name or my age when I turned 11. And I don't remember seeing him much after that. He was a good man with a kind heart who always had warm hugs. He always smelled good, like how a grandpa should smell, of warm memories, summer rain. I love him. I'll miss him much. I can't wait to kiss his cheek when I see him again and hear him finally call me Erika and know I am his granddaughter. <3
RIP Granddaddy and Grandma
