Iowa

The last day in Denver we heard the sad news that my grandfather passed away in his sleep in Iowa. My parents and I flew out from Salt Lake the following day to Iowa to be with my dad's family. On the way there we had a layover in Minneapolis and I was very excited to get a Caribou Coffee, it had been way too long. It was great to see my cousins and spend time with my grandma during this difficult time. It was also great to see Natalie, because she flew out as well. My cousins Paul, Josh, Mat, me and Natalie after the Memorial Service. Although it was an emotional week it really went well.
Thank you so much for all the cards and flowers and support. While we were in Iowa my grandma received over 400 cards at the house on top of many others bringing over food. Although my grandfather would have loved to turn 90 (one month away), it was good to know he had such a long life.

Viist to Denver

Two weeks ago Thaddeus and I were able to visit our friends Jared and Amy and their two new twin girls inDenver. It was so much fun to see them and hang out with them again. It was also great to meet their little girls Felicity and Elyse for the first time. Here is Amy and me.

Three weeks ago Thaddeus's sister Sarah, her husband Roger, and their four boys came for a visit. They live in Canada. It was so good to see them all. My nephews are simply adorable. Here is Sam below. Sammi, Atti (in the back), Sevi, and Phinne.

HE PASSED!!!!

There is not much else to say but Thaddeus passed the BAR. He forgot to get the mail yesterday and went out to check it today and their was a packet in their that he had passed. We are still in shock and ecstatic. We are also happy to report he signed a contract with a law firm earlier this week so the results seal the deal. YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
