Golfing







This weekend we decided it was time to have some fun, since I was not able to go to Chicago i didnt want to sit around all week. Friday we went to pineview with the Shaws and had a blast we just hung out on the boat and on the beach and just relaxed. Then on saturday Jake and I went golfing with my parents. I have never been and was thinking it was going to be super easy and i would catch on instantly, but i was definately wrong. I had to have my dad teach me how to swing i had no idea there was a right and wrong way to hold a glof club. It was fun but very frustrating when you try hitting the ball 5 times and it doesnt move at all! by the end of the game i was hitting a few feet and then picking up my ball to where everyone else was but at least i was hitting it!!! I guess it is going to take some practice and maybe next time i will just ride in the cart but it was still fun to get out and do something fun.

Gramps Funeral


This was definately an intersting week for Jake and I. The viewing for grandpa was on Wednesday and the funeral was on Thursday. Jake and JJ put together a slide show of gramps life to show everyone which took them a couple days so they didnt work all week. I think it was a great opportunity for them to be able to reflect on his life and also to honor grandpa and what a wonderful man he was. The funeral turned out great. It was a little longer than everyone had planned but that is just because there was so many great stories to tell about him that the speakers could just talk for ever. It was awesome to us to see how many people grandpa affected during his lifetime. He was an honorable man and you could see that so many people loved him. He was one of those people that may die physically but the memories and the impact he left us with will keep him living forever. We miss him but are so happy we were blessed to know grandpa and to have had him in our lives.
