I woke up and got ready for today. Mike brought my Dad's body back last night. I was weaing a black open shoulder top, with white skinny jeans and black wedges. I went in the bathroom and did my makeup I did a smokey eye. Sheldon got up and was wearing a black dress shirt, with his skinny jeans and his vans. He woke up his niece and nephew and got them ready. I came out of the bathroom. (Pic of Zoey's top and heels below)
We dropped the kids off and went down to the church where my Dad was. Aaron guys were there. Rebecca was wearing a grey one shoulder top with black pants and grey ankle boots, Tyler was wearing a dark grey long sleeve dress shirt, black pants and his grey vans, Trace was wearing a white halter top, with dark blue skinny jeans and white strapped wedges (Pic of Tracy's shoes below)
Aaron was wearing a white dress shirt, with dark blue jeans and white high tops, Kelly was wearing a brown off the shoulder top with black jeans and brown wedges (Pic of Vikkie's shoes below) Sean was wearing a brown button up with black jeans and brown high tops
We started setting up. Everyone showed up and went inside so we could start. I went up and started speaking through the mic behind me was a picture of my Dad, "Hi everyone thank you for coming. I would just like to say that my Dad was a good man. There's a lot of things that I remember doing with my Dad as a kid. I wish I could take these times back with him but I know he'd want me to keep moving forward and be happy. I know that he'll be watching over me and he's proud of all the goals and achievements that I've accomlpished and achieved. He used to tell me to keep following my dreams and goals and to not let anyone stop me from reaching them. I graduate tomorrow and I wish he was here to see that his little girl is finally entering the real world but I know that he is proud of me. A couple days ago before he left me and my friends did some fun activities with him. I put together a slideshow I hope you guys like it, please enjoy"
The slideshow started and we played Cruise Control cause that was his favorite song. (Song Below)
After we finished we went outside and everybody either gave me hugs or kisses on the cheek. I thanked them or I talked to a few family members. My Uncle Tony came up to me, "Hi Zoey"
"Hi Uncle Tony"
"You did a good job. It's a beautiful ceremony"
"Thank you. I miss him"
"I do too" he hugged me and said that I was a beautiful, headstrong girl and that Dad would be proud of the women that I am today. He pulled away and went to go get something to eat.
Sheldon came up to me and wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed me on the cheek, "Hey Baby" I leaned my head on his shoulder
"Babe you wanna get something to eat" Sheldon nodded and we went to go eat. When the ceremony was done we started cleaning up, we had a lot of food that meant we would have a lot of left overs. After we finished cleaning we said our goodbyes to the few people that were there and went to go get Sheldon's niece and nephew.
"Hi Uncle"
"Hi Mason"
"Hey you two, how was the ceremony?" Mason asked me
"It was beautiful"
"Yeah Zoey did a good job. You're coming to the graduation tomorrow right?" Sheldon asked his Uncle
"Yeah I'll be there. Zoey do you have any family coming?" Mason asked me
"Yeah it's everyone on my Dad's side and a few from my Mom's side"
We took Ashley and Caleb to the Zoo and took them out to lunch then we went back to the apartment. Sheldon and I had to stop at the school to pick up our things for our graduation. It's also been a few days since I stopped talking to my Mom. I was outside on the balcony looking at the beach Sheldon came outside and wrapped his arms around my waist and put his chin on my shoulder, "The kids are sleeping what are you thinking about?"
"A lot of things"
"Like what?"
"Us, graduation, our futures"
"We still have time a lot of time"
"Yeah. Speaking of I haven't been to work in a while" Sheldon chuckled, "I still need to get a job and you need to go back to work" He kissed my shoulder and looked at the ocean with me.
"Did you plan on having a party?"
"No, how about you?"
"My Uncle planned it a long time ago" I chuckled then he said, "We could always have our own little party" I rolled my eyes and lightly nudged him with my elbow and he laughed, "What"
"And the old Sheldon's back" I said jokingly
"No I would never act that way towards you. I kept my word to your Dad that I would take care of you plus Aaron would have my head and I also told your grandfather that I would take care of you, even my uncle" I giggled and he looked at me, "What"
"You have everyone breathing down your neck, now you really can't let me go" he chuckled
"Babe I wasn't planning on it in the first place believe me"
"You wanna know what's funny?"
"What?" he asked"
We went from hating each other, then you tried to get with me and eventually you got me but it took me a while to open up to you and now look we're living in an apartment together"
"You don't think it's moving too fast?" he asked
"No I think we're ok" I leaned back and laid my head on his chest.
"You know it's not just gonna be my party now right"
"What do you mean?"
"My Uncle is going to invite your family and it's going to be our graduation party"
"I never asked you this but what's Mason's job?"
"He's a cop and he works as a bartender"
"Oh wow"
We stood outside for a few more minutes in comfortable silence and then we went inside. Sheldon wrapped his arms around me from behind me and kissed my shoulder, "Night Red"
I chuckled and shook my head, "Night Sheldon" Before I closed my eyes there was a lot of things that happend in my life in a short period of time. I'm dating the bad boy, my mom cheated on my dad, Sheldon and I moved into an apartment together, dad passed away, we had his funeral today, and we gradauate tomorrow. I pushed all my thoughts aside and let sleep take over.
