Yellowstone 2010

For vacation this year we went with Chantry's family to Yellowstone. It was so pretty and so much fun. We were supposed to go for five days but my Aunt passed away right before so we could only go for three. It was still a nice trip. There is just something about the beauty of nature that brings me peace. We stayed in a cute little cabin in Island Park.

Halloween 2010

For Halloween this year my mother-in-law had a family party. She asked that Chantry be Capatin Jack and I be his wench. We decided to change our costumes a little so I was a blond. It was so much fun! We had a great time with the cousins and their cute kids!

Grandpa, Rest in Peace

For those who haven't heard my Grandpa Mitchell passed away. It was about two weeks after my Aunt passed away so again the Mitchell family is mourning. My grandfather was a great man. He was 94. He had a wonderful sense of humor and a gentle spirit. Even though it was a blessing for him to pass I will miss him dearly. I will miss his smile and laugh. I will miss how sweet a couple my grandparents were. It was wierd seeing my grandmother by herself. I don't know if I have ever seen her without my Grandpa. They were married for 65 years and still held hands. We even have kissing pictures from last Christmas of them. He served in WWII for four years. He had a military funeral with the gun salute and taps playing. It was really nice but hard at the same time.As I reflect on these last couple of months and all of the loved ones I have lost I keep coming back to the gospel and it's meaning in my life. The thing I keep getting asked all of the time is, "Are you okay? You have had a lot of losses in your family and that can be hard". Am I okay? I can look at myself and say, "Yes I am". I have my good days and my bad days. Some days I am both good and bad. I have learned alot about death and the life after in the last couple of months. It has been hard but I have had alot of peace and comfort given to me and my family. Our family has a closeness that we did not have before. I know that the only reason I am doing so well is the knowledge I have in my life of the gospel. I also have the love and support of a good husband. He has been with me at every viewing and funeral. He has held me as I have cried many, many times in mourning. I feel as if the rug keeps getting pulled out from under my feet but he is always there to set me back up. This year has really sucked. Hopefully next year will be better.
