Family Forever

The past 2 weeks have been a blur.

We still have our suitcases out from the Bahamas.

Eating treats and junk all day everyday.

Driving back and forth to Holladay at least twice a day.

Since Grandpa Jack's decline, family has been in town... waiting for the inevitable.

It's been so fun being with immediate and extended family nonstop... but it leaves me dreading to go to work and get back in the routine.

Over the past couple of weeks we.....

Celebrated Nicole's upcoming wedding at her bridal shower

Had another Gus event at the Murray High grad party!

Lexi's mom was in charge, so we all tested out the money grabbing machine, ate lots of Chick Fil A and OG, aaaand Aar and I got to leave early since we'll be covering another event while Spence and Lexi were out of town.

Hiked up to Bell Reservoir on Memorial Day... and had a BBQ at Gma & Gpa Jack's later that night.

My favorite time of year by far is late May/early June. The temperatures start to warm up and all the trees, bushes and plants are all bright green and the mountains are still snow capped. THEE best!

We also went to Top Golf and tried out The Baked Bear.

The weekend was long and full of funeral activities remembering Grandpa Jack. He was 92 years old, and the last of his siblings to pass away. His dad died when he was only 14 years old, so I can only imagine the reunion they had.

Although the passing was bittersweet, the gospel sure makes things so much better. I am so grateful for the comfort and the Plan of Salvation!

In addition to the viewing, the next morning they had a one hour open session with just family for people to share any memories. After that was the graveside dedication and then on to the final viewing and funeral followed by the luncheon.

 It was a long day so obviously we had to stop and get some chicken nugs and Diet Coke to honor grandpa.

Now back to regular life... and SUMMER!
