Ok so most people my age are not thinking about what they want done to them when they die but having just lost my step-dad a year ago this month it has come to my mind a lot. So I talked things over with my loving husband and we decided to check around at different cemetery's to find out prices for plots vs mausoleums. We found one place that we both really liked called Resthaven on Hwy 41-A by the church. So we went in on our way to clean the church with the boys to find out some prices. Its not as expensive as I thought it was going to be so we chose to both be put in the same Mausoleums crypt. Plus it saves on places that our loved ones have to go to visit us if they so choose to do so. Anyway the guy that helped us told us that he was really impressed with us because most people who come in to see him are either not young or if they are young they have already lost their loved one and are in a fit because they had no planning set up. We just said that after watching my mom go through what she had to do when my step-dad died unexpectedly we didn't want to have our love ones to have to deal with that. So lesson to everyone out there. Even if it sounds morbid and gives you the Hebe Jebe's to think about discuss this with your spouse and then do something about it. Cause you just never know when something is going to happen and then you are left in the dark trying to find your way out all alone. Anyway it only took us about half an hour and then we headed over to the church to make sure it was clean and set up for church on Sunday.
Dale also had his last test for the Clarksville Police Department in Nashville today. So we carpooled with another guy (Brett) and his wife ( Samantha) up there. Well they carpooled with us I should say. Anyway we got there and then the lady informed us that the test was going to be three hours long. So Samantha and I decided we were going to go and find the Cool Springs mall since neither of us have been there before but we ended up going in the complete opisite direction of the mall and got lost in Nashville. Ha ha but we had a great time driving around and getting to see all the pretty houses and getting to know eachother. We finally made it back to the area where the boys were taking their test and decided to go to SteinMart and window shop since Samantha had never been there before. It was nice just hanging out and looking at all the stuff. We got done with that just as the boys finished up their testing. So we went and got them then headed home. On the way we stopped at the DQ at Exit 35 I think and got something to eat. After it taking them about 45 mins to get my food to me they gave us free ice cream and we headed home. Oh he passed everything by the way. His swearing in will be on the 2nd of May. I will post pictures on a later blog. Now we are home and headed to bed.
Blog at you later.
