Airing out bad news again, it just seems to never end. It's said when it rains it pours, or bad things come in sets of three, or history repeats itself, all to very true!
My Grandmother passed Feb 3, 2013. I am having a hard time dealing some days, but when I'm able to see my Grandfather the sad memories fade for a little while.
March came and went and for the whole month I was recovering from having my 4 wisdom teeth removed and then a hematoma recovery. Overall the surgery process went well, def glad it's done and over with and will not have to experience that again (: But it took a whole month of antibiotics and dentist follow up appts to get back to my "normal" self.
Moving to April, the month started out refresed feeling, I was feeling better, I had a big day coming up with my childhood friend Hollys wedding approaching fast. So I was in high gear trying to get my Matron of Honor role finished and polished. My plans for celebration were haulted quickly, as I discovered Gio & I were expecting. Due to my pregnancy history, this was a very scary time. I was followed by my wonderful docs with ultrasounds and bloodwork to make sure this would be a viable pregnancy. That was the week of the wedding, I had been advised to take it easy, and of course no typical Brandi celebrating. Which was fine no biggie, my mind was off in another world trying to go through the "what if's". Eventually it was official that the pregnancy ended up in my tube and not going anywhere, Methotrexate injections were needed. I received my first one and was taken off of work for "bedrest" and until it was determined what would happen, the goal was to keep my tube, and keep me out of surgery. I was in the office everyother day for more bloodwork and ultrasounds, which after my first round of the injection, another round was needed as the pregnancy mass continued to grow, causing concern for a tube rupture and surgery. After another week went by of the same bloodwork and ultrasounds, and the med seem to be working, I was able to come back to work. Which was such a relief! One and a half days into working, and sever pain, another ultrasound was done and it was determined that the mass continued to grow, the injections did not work and my only choice now was surgery :( Surgery went well, as I have the best doctors :) but again I was off of work recovering. I finally got to return to work mid May.
Fast forward to the end of May, the day after Memorial Day, I found out that my dad's cancer had returned, but is now in his lungs, he will go through chemo. My parents are already struggling financially and emotionally and this new round of meds and doctor appts is going to make things much worse.
Last night Gio and I were talking, about how hopefully soon there will be a light at the end of the tunnel. How will the bad news end anytime soon, we all could use some good news and a long break from the bad, and how history def does repeat itself. In 2005 Gio's sister Tesah passed away, shortly after that his mom was diagnosed with cancer and after that I had surgery for a ruptured tube and no pregnancy. Here we are 6-7yrs later following an all to familiar pattern. My dad was diagnosed with cancer, my grandmother passed away due to complications of cancer, and I had lost another pregnancy and had surgery to remove my ruptured tube.
When will the sorrow, the heartache end? When will the Good Lord say enough, good times ahead? Will there ever be good times again? I don't know, but Gio, my family, and I have had our fair share, it has poured, out threesome has happened, and history is slamming it's ugly self right in our faces. Hopefully soon we'll see good times :)

Grandma, the Best Lady that ever lived.
One week ago today, my grandma passed away. And almost to the minute that i begin typing this did i get the call from my mom. She passed sometime between 4am (when aunt mary last saw her) and 6/6:30 when grandpa found her while he was getting ready for church. Sunday Feb 3, 2013 was the longest day i truly believe i've ever had.
The last time i saw grandma, was less than a month ago. That day she was in good spirits, alert, and had far more energy than she did that night before. It was the so nice to see her in such a way, as it had been a long time. Sadly, we said our final goodbyes and had our final hug and kiss. And I told her i would see her again in no time, and she said i know.
I will miss her so much, she was everything to me and my family. It's hard to believe she is gone, never her to give kisses, advice, support, or that loving familiar sound when coming in to give a welcome hug, "Ooo Brandi" big tight hug here! and there was always an i love you so much, followed instantly with do you need something to eat? lol.
When I arrived to your and grandpas house tuesday it's like the roles were changed. Grandpa was there and so excited to see me. I tried my best to stay strong for him, but i even heard his voice crack, broke my heart. He doesn't want to be without you, his bride, his princess. But he reassured me that you two had a long, loving relationship, and that he will see you again (:
Abbie, Allison, & I put together some of your pictures, what a beauty you were when young (: and grandpa so handsome, no wonder you two picked eachother!
You could just see how much you and grandpa really loved each other, you could see it the way you looked at him and the way he looked at you. a true love story! <3
Your viewing day was a long hard day, especially for grandpa. But i will never forget when he came into see you, he finally broke down, spoke with you, and gave you kisses. He is gonna miss you so so much, your all he talks about! :D So many people came out and the rosary was lovely as always. But it was a cold cold overcast day, which really didn't help matters.
Your funeral day was a gorgeous, bright, sunny day, and much warmer than the day prior, like you where right there! the service was beautiful, with lots of touching songs. On Eagles Wings (one of my personal favs) and How Great Thou Art.We were all reminded about Love:
The Native American Drum was present, which was so fitting and peaceful, but at the same time made everything so real. before that I felt I was living in a dream, I really did. It was so unreal I felt. I thought you and grandpa would live forever, I really did!!
It's hard to think that I will never see your human body anymore and it's even harder to think that grandpa is ready to see you again, so his time will be up soon also. We've never known life without either of you and i can't bare to think of it. But i do know one thing, that I want to see you again, I want to live a simple life like you and grandpa, and have a love with gio like you had with grandpa! :D
I will always LOVE you, I will work on being more like you and Grandpa, I will have a long loving marriage with Gio, as you did with Grandpa. And I ask that you continue to look over me!
You were the BEST Lady I've ever known! And I cherish every memory I have of you. . .I'll see you again before you know it Grandma!! And I can't wait for that familiar hug!!

Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated,d
5it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,e
6it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.
7It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.f
8*
Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to
nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought
to nothing.
9For we know partially and we prophesy partially,
10but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
11When I was a child, I
used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I
became a man, I put aside childish things.
12At present we see
indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know
partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known.g
13* So faith, hope, love remain, these three;h but the greatest of these is love. The Native American Drum was present, which was so fitting and peaceful, but at the same time made everything so real. before that I felt I was living in a dream, I really did. It was so unreal I felt. I thought you and grandpa would live forever, I really did!!

You were the BEST Lady I've ever known! And I cherish every memory I have of you. . .I'll see you again before you know it Grandma!! And I can't wait for that familiar hug!!

My World, Falling Apart
September 11, 2001 was a day I will never forget, where I was and what I was doing. I was junior in high school sitting in home economics class when the loud speaker came on overhead to inform myself and fellow classmates that our country was under attack! Our world has never been the same since. Every year thousands of people I didn't even know are honored, and will continue to be honored and remembered.
September 11, 2012 yet another day I will never forget what I was doing. . .that evening as I pulled into my driveway, my dad calls me. He had surgery that friday just before and I knew he had a follow up appt that day, but the news I ws about to hear was so overwhelming! I answered the phone to hear my dads voice. He said he went to the doctors appt and that his biopsy results were back which were positive for CANCER!!! MY DAD HAS CANCER!!! I didn't even know what to say, my heart hurt, my stomach and head were spinning! My dad kept his cool (like always) and didn't have many answers other than they were coming down here to see an oncologist.
After hanging up the phone, my frustration, anger, sadness, confusion, and heartache came through! My whole world felt like it was falling apart. My Dad, Mom, Sister & I went to IU Hospital yesterday for answers, we really didn't get any, but have moved forward in the direction to answers. We all spent the day at the hospital while my Dad underwent a CT scan to make sure this cancer doesn't or hasn't spread to his lungs and a MRI to make sure the surgery my Dad had had gotten all of the cancer cells from his body. We are now waiting on results which should come back by the end of the week. I pray every night that things will turn out positive and that myself and the rest of our family can "keep it together" for my Dad, he needs all the support we can give him! I LOVE YOU DAD!! And you'll pull through this, and we'll be right beside you all the way!!!

They make Us a Family. . .Grandparents
Today is National Grandparents Day! And I have two very special people that I can honor today, my Grandpa Augustus (Gus) and my Grandma Catherine. My Grandparents have been involved in so much of my life from my birth, to my kindergarten graduation, to all of my choir concerts, to all of the sacraments, to my high school and college graduations, my own marriage, my first home and every little thing in between!
They have shared so many stories and memories, I wish I could remember them all. They have taught me what hard work is and that it does pay off, they have taught me honesty, integrity, and have shared a beautiful religion with me. My Grandpa was born August 28 and my Grandma was born October 9, they were married on May 20 and this year celebrated 62 years of marriage! They have 6 children and 13 grandchildren and to date 10 greatgrandchildren! I know they are very proud of each and everyone of us, just as we are all so very proud of them! I LOVE you Grandpa & Grandma, you are my whole world, my whole heart. I couldn't have been blessed with better Grandparents, I hope one day to be just as strong, kind, gentle natured, honorable, and knowledgeable as you both. With so my LOVE and Affection your granddaughter. . .
Brandi Michelle Nagy Thieme

More Than Expected
July 6, 2000, Gio asked me if i would be his girlfriend. I didn't know then what God had planned for me and him. April 29, 2007, Gio asked me if i would be his wife. By this time i had fallen so much in love with him and couldn't wait to spend the rest of my life with him. God had tested me, him, and us, and we made it through. July 12, 2008, We said "I Do" in front of God, Family, & Friends. Both excited to begin this new chapter in our lives, and encouraged to have a long lasting relationship and marriage by my parents, my grandparents, as well as his grandparents.
July 6, 2012. We've been together for 12 years now, and the time has really just flown by, not to sure where it has went to.
July 12, 2012. We've been married for 4 years, and more in love than i thought possible.
We've grown and changed so much in the time we've spent together, but it's been for the better! We've been through some of the hardest of times, and made it through! We've been strong and successful all due to our love for each other, our strong positive marriage and relationship examples, and God! I look forward to growing old with my best friend, my love, my husband, Giovanni. I look forward to the years flying by, but revisiting the memories over and over. I look forward to falling more deeply in love with the one person i have chosen to spend the rest of my life with. Happy Anniversary Babe!!

The Sweetest Butterflies
Finally 16, and i can start to date!! I've waited for this for what seems like FOREVER!! I have found that special someone and every minute of every day i can only think about being with him. I get butterflies in my stomach just thinking about the next time i'll hear his voice or even better see him, everything he does gives me butterflies!
Almost 12 years have went by! And so many stomach butterfly memories have passed. It sometimes saddens me to know that the littlest thing could make me so crazy, so happy, so in love. But then the sweetest thing happened and gave me the stomach butterflies that I miss. . . .Gio can remember where we had our first kiss!! I didn't even remember, and sadly I really didn't think he would care, nor did I think he even knew! But he did, and he could tell me as if it had happened yesterday. Our first kiss was at Bixler Lake in Kendallville the summer of 2000 (: <3
It melts my whole heart to know that he (a man) would remember such a thing. It brings the biggest smile to my face. It reminds me how much he really does care and love me!
I realize that Love is not measured by the amount of stomach butterflies that he can give, and I realize that I don't need stomach butterflies everyday to Love him, but after 12 years the stomach butterflies that I do get are so much more than what they used to be, and I cherish them. . . .I cherish them so so much! And you know what else?. . . .I am not sadden by the fact that stomach butterflies are so few, I actually look forward to that feeling, that feeling that I forget about, which makes those stomach butterflies the sweetest butterflies.

How am I doing?
It's may which means that this yr is almost half way over!!! I really don't know where time goes to sometimes. But I wanted to recapped my New Years resolutions, so here goes. . . . .
*I still need to work on my stubbornness and giving my opinion when it is needed, not when I want to give it!
*Want to save at least $1500, we have saved only $250, in the next six months I have a ton of saving to catch up on!
*Still working on losing 60lbs, but I do work out mon-fri for 45mins-1hr, and i have lost approx 7lbs but have lost more inches than anything! I also have a gym buddy (which helps alot). Also gio and I are going to be taking an evening walk after dinner every night (: KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
*Me making dinner twice per wk started out nicely, and then kinda drifted, but in my own defense, (sometimes) when it would be my night to cook (and i got something i could make) gio ended up making it instead, and then tells me "you don't have to cook, i can do it, i like to make dinner for you" and there it is folks, i just say ok and it's over, i didn't make dinner. Let me change this to dinner once per wk and see how that goes. (:
*An out of state trip, not going to happen this yr, i've pleated with gio about this, and it's not gonna happen, so i feel i should just give up and begin to play for next yr!
*Date night once per month, ha, we've been so busy doing things for the house we've been calling our weekly friday night visit to lowe's our date night :D so i guess that counts.
*Church every sunday, needs to begin again! no excuse, I really don't mind going, it's just I'm to lazy to get up and get going :(
*Time on the computer has seemed to slow down, i even gave up facebook and twitter for lent (: it was really kinda sad how much time i was online, doing NOTHING!! KUDOS to me! (:
*Talking with my parents weekly is going pretty well (: i just need to make sure to not talk so much about myself (i notice i do this alot), and also i need to start calling my grandparents more often, they aren't going to be here forever! :(
*A solo day, hasn't happened, maybe this next month will be better.
So overall it seems to be down the middle, not an epic fail, but by no means a "way to go" either. I need to continue to work on the above, self improvement is always worth the time and effort.

Short and Bittersweet.
Goooooood Morning! :)
it's already shaping out to be a day spent in bed with some comfy cloths on, girly movies, coffee, and the windows open to hear the rain make it's entrance. buuuut, i've got things to do today, so a raincheck for today will have to suffice.
i continue to pray for my dad (he's needing surgery for a leg tumor) for a safe recovery and my grandma (who's got cancer and dying) whos more brave than i. and for myself to be strong.

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
We are finally in our new home, and it's beautiful! March 27th was a very long day, thats for sure! lol. But it'll be the last long day Gio and I have like that, as we don't plan on moving ever again (: Our new house is beautiful and I can't wait to begin making it a home!
Echo is still adjusting, but overall I think she's gonna love it here (: She's still exploring and finding new ways to give us heart attacks! (we've "lost" her at least half a dozen times already! little stinker ;)
Gio and I have both talked with our parents, who are all very happy for us, and we've had our first guests also, David and Naomi, they helped us move. We're having our first cookout tomorrow with Izaak and Erica, and Tim from Gio's work! Too excited! We've had our first home cooked meal after what seemed like tons of eating out (gross!), and I cooked! (: We had lemon chicken with rice and broccoli.
It's been a long haul, we signed papers in July 2011 and have watched our slab turn into a structure, and the structure into a house, and now we have the rest of our lives to turn our house into a home.
God has really looked out for me, for Gio and I, he really truly has, and We are so appreciative of the life he has given us! He has given us some rough/hard times. But He's helped us pull through, and shown us how wonderful our lives can and will be. He has given us true strength and happiness with eachother. We now know and understand that We are good people and deserve to have happiness, good health, and prosperity.

Not Ready, Even If She Is
I can barely write or think about this without tears flooding my eyes. But I got terrible news over the weekend while spending time with my family. My 83 year old grandma has recently found a spot on her liver. She had some further testing done and got those results yesterday. It's the worst news I could have gotten, she was told that she also has another spot on her colon and that this monday she will be going to the Oncologist. My heart sank into my chest, I could barely breath, my grandma can't die!! She just can't!! I'm not ready for her to go! And even though I'm not ready for her to leave, she is ready with open arms! I can't even think about my life, or my families life without her, I really truly can't. All I can think about is all the memories, all the talks, all the LOVE that she brings. I can't help but play back how this past friday night I was showing her pictures of Gio & I's new home, how we had some laughs, how she said she was proud of me. And as Gio & I were leaving, and I kissed and hugged her goodbye, how she always tells me how pretty I am, and to Gio make sure to take care of her. How I told her we'll see you in a few weeks at easter. I can only hope and pray that I will see her in just a few short weeks. It makes me so nervous that I won't get to see her then, or if I do, how sick she may look. The saddest part, I am horrible at talking with dying people, I just don't even know what to say, I don't know why I have such an issue with it, but I do know one thing, I can't and won't let my grandma leave this earth without her knowing how much I love her, how much I care for her, how much she has shown me, how much she inspires me, how much of an example she is of all things good. I Love You Grandma!

Day 5
The third member of our family Echo, is my {{Love}}. Echo has been apart of our family since 2009! She's got such a personality! She can be such a stinker or she can be a lovie dovie little thing (: She def {{Loves}} us both, when I'm not here she {{Loves}} on Gio, but as soon as I get home, she's like my shadow! lol. Gio likes to give her a hard time when playing, makes me laugh and shake my head (: I like to cuddle with her, (she's a great foot warmer)! I {{Love}} when Echo greets us at the door when we've been gone. I {{Love}} that she likes to be in our company. Echo gets in this wild mood and starts running through the apartment, I {{Love}} it, it makes us both laugh, the burst of energy just comes out of nowhere! Echo also {{Loves}} to watch the birds that come by the patio window! I {{Love}} when she gets low to the ground, wiggles her butt and runs up on them, like she can actually get them! It's the cutest! I {{Love}} that she's got one specific toy she likes the most, and no matter how many times we bring it to the living room, it ALWAYS is back in the bedroom the next morning! I also {{Love}} that on the weekends, Echo comes to the bed and depending on her mood, will either lay there with us, or meow at us till one of us gets out of bed! I {{Love}} Echo, she brings such joy and laughter to Gio & I's life!

Day 4
Early weekend mornings spent by myself and the things I enjoy about it is my {{Love}} for today. I {{Love}} the simplicity of it. I {{Love}} that there is no tv on, no radio blasting, no facebook notifications coming from my phone. I {{Love}} the early morning light that comes in. I {{Love}} the sound of birds chirping. I {{Love}} the smell of my morning coffee, I {{Love}} that I can slowly enjoy my coffee. I {{Love}} that I can sit and read and get lost in what it is I'm reading. I {{Love}} that I can just let my mind wonder about whatever it desires. I {{Love}} that echo comes to cuddle with me. I {{Love}} that I have a little bit of me time. I {{Love}} that this time restores, re energizes, refuels me. But eventually I {{Love}} hearing Gio's voice coming from the bedroom, saying my name, letting me know he's awake.
I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I refuel.

Day 2
I {{Love}} when my half morning off from work is a day Gio is off! I {{Love}} that it's not a typical day with him. I {{Love}} that we cuddle, I {{Love}} that we stay in bed until we can't! I {{Love}} that we lay there and talk about whatever! I {{Love}} waking up first and watching him sleep :) I {{Love}} that there is no alarm set, telling us time to get outta bed, time for work. I {{Love}} the morning light shinning in and the birds singing to us (: But mostly I {{Love}} waking up to him and I {{Love}} that I'm the one he chose to wake up too!

Valentine's Day is fast approaching and for the next 6 days, everyday I will post about what I Love! (:
Day 1
I {{Love}} that I can go into work, and get a good {{laugh}} from someone! That someone can put a {{smile}} on my face no matter the mood I'm in! It's a great feeling to know that after 3 years I can still say at the end of the day I had a good day (: It's such a {{blessing}} to have that at your job! And I {{Love}} that I can even say that about my job!
A good time to laugh is any time you can.

Memories & History
Superbowl 46 was held here in Indianapolis Feb. 5 at Lucas Oil
Stadium!! It was a week long celebration, full of concerts, celebrities,
street performers, food, and football! Honestly we weren't going to
head downtown due to the mass crowds of people. Luckily we went, and
we're both so glad that we did! Downtown looked awesome! (: The superbowl
was between the New England Patriots (main player Tom Brady) and the
New York Giants (Eli Manning)! The week full of concerts included, (but
not limited to) 50 cent, LMFAO, Pattie Labelle, Bret Michaels, Fuel,
Edwin McCain, the Roots, Nas, En Vouge, Snoop Dogg. Halftime was one of
my favs Madonna!!! The Winner of Superbowl 46, the New York Giants!!!!
21 to 17, close game (:
Extras. The Giants had their
hometown favorite pizza flown in from New York (a 2hr flight). Rapper
Eminem & 50 cent rented a house in Geist to party and Eminem was
spotted at a local grocery. Tickets were on average $2500. Daily
millions of people attended the superbowl village!
Superbowl 46 was awesome, I'm so excited that we were apart of history, and the memories are all on photo! (: Congrats Giants!!!

so with a brand new house almost ready for gio & i to move into, my brain has been working overtime! my computer has been too! lol. i've been so busy with thinking about all the things i want/need for the new house, so i window shop online. it's such an addiction for me, i seriously can't help myself! i really do need to win the lottery (: and as you can imagine the things i want far out weigh the things i need. and honestly the things i want are much more exciting then the things i need (:
I want:
a storm door with screen
3 bath & body works wallflowers w. scent
a romantic crystal chandelier for our entryway
some sort of a detective furniture piece for the entryway

a new mattress
a new master bedroom setup

again, sadly the things i need, i really do need to live, to have privacy, to feel good when waking up! the things i want, i try to hard to convince myself that if i don't have them when i move in, my house won't feel "homey". but in all reality it's going to feel so right, and i know that the want list will all come in good time, i just need to be patient. not saying that some of that i can't get soon, i just need to understand i can't have it all! or at least all at one time ;) lol
