Eternal families, Baptisim and Blessings.

This will be a pictureless blog because all that I want to post about, I don't have pictures for. Darn.....

Well the month of May was an interesting month for the Plaisteds(Peterson side really...). May 4th my Grammy passed away. My mom's mom. She had been sick for the past 10+ years, and it wasn't exactly a surprise, but it was all at the same time, meaning we knew it wouln't be long, but we expected some warning like her being hospitalized or something. It was a regular Tuesday for her and my Grandpa, they went to Provo to run errands, and went to Chinese for dinner, when they got home my Grandpa noticed that she was breathing a little funny and figured she was tired so he helped her to the couch so she could rest, ran outside for just a minute, and came back and she had passed on. It was extremely hard to see my Grandpa so upset. She truly was the love of his lfe. For the past two or so years he had changed her diapers, forced her into a diet to controll her diabetes, and continually tried to help her realize where she was. After all that hard work he told the bishop just the night before Grammy died that he would look after her for as long as he could, she was his sweetheart and he wated to do it and no one else. You may be thinking "well he married her for better or worse" but it wasn't even a chore for him. He would have done it for the next 50 years just to have her with him! He was so broken hearted at the loss of his sweet wife that he could hardly look at her in the casket. He used to tell everyone that he wated to live to be 120 years old; not any more. I think he is anxious to be with his sweetheart again, but that is understandable, and thankfully POSSIBLE!!!

Well from that experience I realized what it meant to be a spouse. Love unconditionally, serve, and most importantly the importance of eternal marriages. I know that my family is an eternal family, we can be together forever and ever. This may be the best gift our Heavenly Father has given us (next to repentance and agency, but you get the idea...).Horray!

Also on a lighter note, my nephew Isaiah got baptized on the 23rd, and my neice Emily got blessed the next Sunday. It was a busy weekend we went to Green River Saturday morning had family pictures taken, went to a baptisim, ate dinner, drove home, woke up at about 6am, went to a blessing at 8am, and celebrated the birthdays of Cody, KD(my neice) and Mario(my bro in law). So May had a lot of travel and emotional up's and downs. But all in all we made it out alive and well.

So until next time! Don't hate me if it's more than a month! :)
