Goodbye to Mumzy


Right after Hudson was born, Mumzy (Jason's grandmother) went into the hospital after her heart stopped twice. She was put under sedation to stabilize her heart but never came out of it. Last weekend we went down to Texas to see her and say what would be our final goodbyes. She passed away the Saturday afternoon after we got there. She absolutely loved the boys and I'm so sad she lived survive till we were moved down there and could spend more time with her. I will miss her hearty laugh and how much she loved spending time with the boys. It was a really rough weekend for us all but I'm glad we got to see her before she left us. The funeral is today. We couldn't go because of Jason's exams and it would just be too hard on the little ones making two trips so close together.

Her obituary from the paper:

Elizabeth Marie (Nagel) Allen, 76, of Bryan passed away on June 13, 2015. Graveside services will be held on Saturday, June 20th at 1:30pm in the Bryan City Cemetery. Steve Holcombe will officiate the service. Funeral services are in the care of Callaway-Jones Funeral Home and Crematory.

"Betty Lee" was born September 16, 1938 in Fredericksburg, Texas to Herman and Clara Nagel. Betty Lee enjoyed cooking a good meal for her family. She loved her rock gardens and her plants. She liked to build puzzles and welcomed who would venture into building puzzles with her. Betty Lee married Thomas Carl Allen Sr. on September 30, 1959 in Llano, Texas. They moved their family to Bryan in 1976 and she was employed with K-Mart until they closed. She had a deep sense of adoration for her grandchildren. She was affectionately known as Mumzy by her grandchildren and enjoyed visits from them and her neighbors. She was deeply loved and will be missed by her children and their families.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Thomas Carl Allen Sr.; and her father Herman Nagel.

She is survived by her mother, Clara Nagel; her siblings Erna, Clara, Conrad, Katy and Randy. She is also survived by her children, Tom and Pam Allen, Jeff and Natalie Allen and Jud and Julie Allen; along with 12 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

Ramblings of a Panic Attack

I’m having a panic attack. These stupid meds are killing me. I hate them. Stick with it, stick with it, stick with it. I know it’s the meds. I just have to get through this and relax for a couple weeks. I hate this job. It’s not even that bad it’s just HORRIBLY boring. I don’t want to do this every day. I appreciate learning the process and gaining experience but it’s not what I like to do. I don’t even like accounting that much to begin with but there are aspects I like and I know it. The pay is killing me. I need money. I can’t continue to be completely broke before the first week of the month is over. Collections calls ringing all day. I’m applying to jobs like crazy. I’m trying so hard. I’m just going to keep pushing forward. Keep. Pushing. Forward. I hate that I wanted a life with Jason. That I was too blind to realize what he was. That I was ok with him even from the very beginning when I knew better. Why didn’t I want better things for myself? Seeing him makes me want to vomit.

Tersinar Christmas 2015

After graduation, we raced down to Hepler to spend Christmas with my family and mom and dad's. We ordered chicken for dinner (of course - yum yum!) and we had some of the traditional Christmas goodies too, like pie and Grandma Sonja's cinnamon apples, French cookies and cheese ball.  Hudson made the rounds with everyone :) Uncle Dustin is the best to play with After dinner and some visiting, it was time to open presents! The loot! Kids first of course. The anarchy! Hudson among the shreds of wrapping paper Big kids' turn! Opening my Royals blanket <3 I LOVE IT! Thanks Jen :) I got Grandma's name again :) Hudson helped play Santa Mom loved her gift from Heather - a frame with all our family's pictures in it. Jason's gift from Raymond. The kiddos watched a movie or two after we were finished opening gifts.  Later after everyone left, mom, dad and us siblings (minus josh) played Cards Against Humanity... HILARIOUS. Haven't laughed that hard in a very long ti

Jason's Graduation: Part II

Dr. Allen, DC 4/5 of our marriage has been spent working towards this day. To say we are excited would be a great understatement. I can't even put into words how excited/happy/scared/proud/relieved, etc, etc, etc we are. There just are no words. Jason has worked tirelessly towards this goal. Countless hours of studying. Sacrificing time with me and the kids. And all the work he put in advertising and recruiting patients into the clinic. Personal training early mornings and late nights to help makes ends meet.  And I think of all the sacrifice we've made as a family. Living in a townhouse and then a tiny apartment. I've been the primary provider and a mostly single parent during some stages. And a constant cheerleader and standing behind pushing. We've both been pushing uphill for what seems like forever towards this goal. And we've made it. Not to discount his hard work, because he was the one who really accomplished this goal but I like to think we accomplished thi
