Farewell Grandpa Randall, we love you.

So I've realized that I'm not the best at keeping my blog updated. A lot has happened in the past month. And not all of it has been good. My Grandpa Randall passed away. He had been struggling with his health for the past few years. He got diagnosed with cancer and his treatments weren't working and he ended up passing away in his sleep the morning after Father's day. He had just celebrated his 90th birthday and He was an amazing Grandpa. He has always been a great example and a wonderful patiriot. My grandpa was a pilot in World War II and he flew B-17 airplanes. He was an amazing example of service. He was always a fun grandpa to be around and would always tickle us. He will always hold a special place in my heart. My grandpa was the one who preformed Kyle and I's marraige, and he did a wonderful job. We love you Grandpa, rest in peace. We are happy that you have been reunited with Grandma, the love of your life.

Kyle and I were able to go to Utah for my Grandpa's funeral, and it was wonderful to see all my family again. It was a very nice service for my Grandpa and it was so nice to look back on his amazing life. The weekend was wonderful and much needed. I really enjoyed the time away from work and to be reunited with my siblings and to have Kyle there for support. He has been such an amazing comfort to me these past 10 months that I've been with him. He fits in so well with my family and that is a very good thing since I can't be without him now. We laugh at how attached we are to eachother, and it is so hard to let him leave every day to work and to be alone all day long. But he is worth it, I would put up with a lot worse if I have to. I'm so greatful for Kyle and the man that he is. I'm so grateful for the patience and understanding he has for me, and for all my weaknesses.

My family's last picture of us all together was when Kyle and I got married and Amy was pregnant with Abby. So I made us all take one that weekend because no one is expecting a baby and so we have everyone in the picture.

I had such a fun time seeing all my family that I have missed so much. I was able to play with all my nieces and nephews that I miss so much. Staucie and I had a lot of fun jumping on the trampoline together. Our hair got all messed up, but it was so worth it.
