2009.........it's been crazy so far!

So, I am sure you have noticed no new posts for awhile. 2009 has proven to be a crazy year so far. Nothing has been normal around here. My grandma fell ill towards the end of 2008 and wasn't given too much time to live. So first thing in January, I headed to California to say goodbye to her. She has played a big role in my life and I will never forget her for that. I am her first grandchild. We were very close. I consider her one of my closest friends and biggest examples. She has truly started a legacy for us and her family. She was a pioneer in her own time. She will never be forgotten. Two weeks after I said goodbye to her, while I was in Vegas for a lia sophia conference, she passed away. This time, the whole family headed down to California for her funeral. It was amazing to see 18 of her 21 grandchildren there in attendance from Utah, Michigan, Kansas, and California. What a tribute to her. We all love her so much. I am truly blessed to come from such a great heritage and AMAZING family!!! I took a lot of pictures from my grandmas house. The house they have lived in since 1965. We all grew up in that house and have so many great memories. Only my sibilings and cousins will understand these pictures and their memories. These are for you guys.........I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
