Funeral and then Lunch with Cousins

This morning I went to the funeral for an 19 year old young man who grew up in the ward where I also grew up, Bryan Andrew Hall. He didn't go by his first name but went by his middle name of Andrew. He was diagnosed at three months old with cystic fibrosis and he fought with this illness all of his life. In February 2007 he received a double-lung transplant that prolonged his life and allowed him to do things that he had never been able to do. What an inspiration their family is to the rest of us.

After the funeral was over I picked up the girls who were staying with Grandpa and Grandma Gaddie while I attended the funeral and while Reed was at work. We met (Auntie) April and her kids at McDonald's for lunch. It doesn't sound like much fun if you're the parent but must be fun for the kids because they always want to go back.

We're Finally Getting a Blog

Wow!! Can you believe that we finally have a blog? We can't. Reed has been telling me for months that I should start one for our family. I've finally done it. I hope that I will be able to keep some sort of a journal of the happenings of our family through this blog.

Well, here we go!!
