This year has started out to be quite an interesting one so far..
As you all know, my grandma passed away last month. Now, the prophet that I have known and loved and grown up with has passed away, as well. As my mom and I were watching the funeral service for President Hinckley this morning, we received news that my Grandpa Garner had passed away at 11:30 that morning. What a year already! He'll be having a military funeral service to honor his service in the Navy during WWII. He was one of the soldiers that went into Pearl Harbor to clean up after the strike. I don't think he ever got over his prejudice against the Japanese people. My family and I will be traveling down to Cedar City for his funeral sometime next week and then focusing solely on the wedding the week after. So crazy. I wish I had pictures of him on my computer to post. He was a great grandpa and taught me how to always be a hard worker.
I'm ready for all the stress to be done with. I just hope to be done with funerals and stressful events for a while and be able to enjoy being married!

Your family has sure been through a lot lately. I wish I could be around to help with something! On the bright side, Grandma Thompson and Grandpa Garner have Pres. Hinckley to help them! How sweet is that?
I am sorry to hear about that Andrea! They are in a better place than we are :)We will keep Family in our thoughts.
I'm sorry too. Jake's right though. I hope this week goes well...and that in 11 sleeps we have a wonderful day!
Did I spell Thompson right? I'm not sure. Maybe with a little less "P" in it? ;)
Thompson is correct. :)
Thanks everyone for your prayers and concern.
I love you all!
