Last night we received the news that my grandmother had passed away after months of inspiring us with her strength and determination. So after a crazy day of packing, trying to switch airline tickets, and attempting to remember everything that I might possibly need to cancel, put a hold on, or pack for Utah and Hawaii, the kids and I are heading out tomorrow (a couple of weeks early). It's going to make for a LONG vacation, but we are excited to have extra time with our families.
Grandma Jo was an amazing woman that embodied the pioneer spirit in every way. It seemed fitting when she and Grandpa Dan served their first mission in Nauvoo. I hope to teach her courage, strength, and faith to my kids -- they are lucky to have such an amazing ancestor!
SURE LOVE YA!
