November Daily Blog: Day 1 and 2

So I've decided to blog each day during the month of November. My original plan was to start yesterday but unfortunately I was traveling yesterday to my moms to be with family for the home going of my Godfather which took place this morning. So I'm combining a bit of yesterday and today.

Next week Marc and I will celebrate 5 years at WABC so I also went home early to collect some flowers from my cousin that we used at the wedding this summer. I spent most of last night transforming the centerpieces from wedding flowers to the color scheme of our banquet luncheon which will take place on Saturday. 

This morning my mom, my cousins and I left early for the funeral which took place at 11 am at my godfathers home church. 

My godfather was a very special man. He not only baptized me as a child but officiated at our wedding. He also traveled with our family on our first ever trip to WDW. Please keep my godmother in your prayers. They were married over 50 plus years. 

I came back home with my aunt and uncle after the funeral. Marc would have been there but he's in class in weekends and with our anniversary coming up next weekend he is just not able to skip out on to many classes. He is a sweet man though because he sent me a text several times asking if I was ok. I was surrounded by many of my family members including my mom so he knew I was in good hands. The fact that he checked on me anyhow makes him even more special to me. 

I didn't want to sit around the rest of the afternoon so I decided to attend the Breast Cancer Awareness program that was bring held at WABC. Earlier in the week I had stated I probably wouldn't be there because of the funeral but at the last minute I changed my mind. 

Although breast cancer is a hard subject for me ( I have had and still have a girlfriend at this moment who is dealing with this) I am glad I went. There is nothing like hearing others testimony and stories to remind you that life is worth celebrating and that you should never take it for granted. Here are a few pics from the event. 

The young lady that spoke had a powerful testimony to share about how this event in her life instead of taking her out brought her closer to God. Like I said it was a reminder of just how important it is to live life, love on people and count each day you get to live on this earth as a blessing and an opportunity to give back in some capacity.
