update



I've been so frazzled for the last little bit that this blog has been the last thing on my mind.  Grandpa passed away a week ago this past Sunday. We went to California for his funeral last weekend and it was a good memorial service; I miss him. The beach and beautiful sunsets will always make me think of him.  Death is hard, no matter when it happens and no matter how prepared you are for it.
Friday morning before flying to California we moved out of our apartment. Jake was staying down afterward for a work training so we had to get all the heavy stuff out before we left. So Friday we moved things into our house, out of our apartment and then drove down to SLC to get on an airplane. This week I have been moving the rest of our stuff and cleaning the old apartment. I haven't even had time to clean the new place because things have been so crazy.
We get to go to the beach next week and I can't wait. It is precious time, especially thinking of precious times with Grandpa.  We should close on our house soon and will officially be homeowners. The next little bit brings so much for us to do and work on, especially since the house needs some work. Life never seems to slow down, it just gets busier.


Good thing I get to relax on the beach next week.
