HOME!!

So Brandon and I made it home from Utah on Sunday afternoon. It was a very difficult trip but we also had a great time seeing my family again, and he had a great time hanging out with his friends, and cousin.
We made it into Utah on Wednesday night. I had to fly which made alot of people nervous because of my pregnancy but we all made it safely with no complications. The long weekend started on Thursday with getting the final preparations done for my mom's funeral. It was very difficult to have to plan it all but we wanted it to be the best for her because she was a very wonderful person and was loved by so many. My brother Trevor was suppose to arrive in Utah on Thursday afternoon but he flight was canceled so they had to get him onto a new flight which didnt arrive until 4pm on Thursday. It was so wonderful and yet weird to see him. He looked so good. It was really hard to remember that he was still a missionary and would be returning back to the mission field. We still had a great time though. He went back to FL on Monday morning.
The viewing for my mom was on Friday night. It was so hard to walk into the viewing room to see her but when we did she looked so peaceful that it made it easier to see her. I know now that all her pains are gone and we will be with her again someday. She is now my angel and keeping an eye on my baby boy until he comes into this world. Alot of people showed up some that I havent seen in many years so it was hard to remember their names. It was as if I was getting introduced to my family all over again. After the viewing we just went home and talked as a family.
The funeral service was Saturday morning and it was a beauitful service. We had many speakers that talked about my wonderful mother, and it was so great to have them remember all the good times we had with her. After the service we had a lunchon and than went back home and celebrated the life of my mom and remembered everything about her. It was a time of monoring but also a celebration of her life. I sure do love my mom and will miss her more than anything.
Thank you all for the prayers and thoughts for my family. We are sure grateful for all our wonderful family and friends in our lives.

GIRLS WEEKEND!!!

This weekend my wonderful friend Kayleene came into town from Utah. It was so good seeing her and being able to spend time with her even though we really couldnt do much. This is the reason for only two pictures. She just came in to see me and keep me company during the pregnancy. She was hoping the little one would come before she left but that didnt happen and she understood that its still to early for that. She got in on Friday afternoon and left this afternoon. I sure hope she will come down again in 6 months when my brother gets home from the mission so she can see the baby in person. Thanks for coming down for the weekend Kayleene I hope you had a good time.
