A week of sorrow and happiness

It has been a busy week here at our house. Last week Steve's dad passed away, he's been sick for awhile and so we knew his life was coming to an end soon but it doesn't make things any easier. While it's been a difficult week it's also a relief, now John isn't suffereing and in pain. John was such a good man and will be remembered for his love he had for his family, the gospel, fudge, ice cream, and a good game of cribbage. These are just a few of the pictures taken from his funeral yesterday. It was such a beautiful funeral and the weather was perfect, it was a really nice day. It was also nice to see family and so many friends. It's times like these where you realize how grateful you are to have the gospel in your life and to know that we'll get to be with loved ones again.

Yesterday was also our anniversary! 3 YEARS. Time has gone so quickly. Three years ago Steve and I were on our way to Oregon for our honeymoon and for those who didn't know we went skydiving in Oregon- it was amazing but I will never do it again. The Oregon coast is beautiful and we always say someday we're going to move their.We went out for dinner over the weekend and Steve brought home flowers Tuesday.

**Baby update**- Yes today is my due date and I still am pregnant. I was hoping to check into the hospital yesterday after the funeral was over but I'm not that lucky (I guess Steve's dad isn't finished telling her all of the Jasper secrets yet for her to come.) The doctor is hopeful that it will be this weekend, but I'm scheduled to be induced the 28th if she doesn't come before that.
