Yesterday when I got home from the cottage, I received the sad news that my grandfather in Austria (my Dad's dad) had passed away. I knew this day was coming because he had not been well for the last few years (he’d been in an old age home and was unable to speak or recognize anyone anymore). After I found out, I went to see my dad (since he was home by himself since my mom was still at the cottage, Dad and I came home yesterday since we both had to work today). My dad seems to be doing okay. It’s hard when family members pass away, even if you knew that it may be coming since they were sick, it doesn’t really make it any easier.
Other than receiving this news, the rest of the weekend was pretty good. CT and I met with the wedding co-ordinator and I think we’re all set. She drew me a floor plan, so we are in the midst of finalizing who will sit at what table. It was a bit of a puzzle to figure out, but I think we have it the best way possible.
We then headed to the cottage and the weather was nice, although it was a little chilly. CT stayed until after supper, and then he had to head back since he went to Toronto for the day on Sunday to hang out with his groomsmen for the day. I stayed at the cottage until Sunday early evening when I went back to town with my dad. I had a really nice time at the cottage, I love it out there.
Tonight, I am having the visiting relatives from Germany over to my place for dinner (they are leaving on Wednesday). My mom’s cousin, her boyfriend, and her daughter have been visiting for the last 2 weeks.
So here we are at 19 days until the wedding! WOW! This weekend, I have my final dress fitting on Friday, and then Saturday will be a total wedding planning day with my mom (CT will be gone all day Saturday and some of Sunday since it’s his stag weekend). I have my hair and make-up trial on Saturday and then mom and I have a bunch of little tasks to complete. Should be a productive weekend! Now, I just have to get through this week at work first. I’ve been finding it hard to concentrate lately since I’m too excited about the wedding and always thinking about the tasks I still have to do. Good thing I only have 9 days of work left after today! My last day is August 31st and then I don’t come back until Tuesday, September 25th! Yay!

Sorry to hear about your grandfather christine! I know what you mean, it is definitely always hard losing someone you care about. While knowing it is going to happen and having time to prepare for it does help a little bit in the long run since you know that it was their time to go. My thoughts are with you and your family.
I'm sorry to hear that Christine. My condolensces.
