That following Wednesday we found out about the other passing of a little one before she was even able to make it all the way here. I am so grateful for the understanding that I have of the gospel and what goes on in the life after this earthly one. What we do know is that she was there to greet Grandpa and he will get the pleasure of getting to know her before the rest of us do. She is in good hands. Knowing and understanding the gospel of Jesus Christ helps bring closure and peace in situations like this. For that, I am so grateful! I do not know how I could deal without this knowledge.
We are emotionally and physically exhausted from all the gatherings, late nights up talking, having fun and have a lot of recovering to do on both ends. We were so worn down that we now have colds :( and are working on over coming those too. We have a wedding coming up for Bry's younger sister and are busy helping in whatever way we can with those preparations.
We are loving this Fall weather but I am not quite ready fro the summer to be over. More than anything, I just don't want to have another LONG winter. If it stayed Fall for a while, I could definitely deal!
Well there you have it. I will try to catch up on the pictures from this past week and our camping trip from the weekend before that.
