Once again its been two weeks and so much has happened. Last week we went to Arizona for Grandpa Clifford's funeral. It was such a time of mixed emotions. The funeral was beautiful, but it was hard at the same time. We had the funeral in Arizona and then drove to Safford for the burial. It was special to be able to go down to Safford and see the places that are so much a part of the history of the Clifford side of the family.
While we were in Arizona for the funeral, it was also the first time we have seen Jeremy's side of the family in a year and a half and it was seriously SO good to see them. Like I said, very mixed emotions. We really didn't do anything big or exciting with the family, but mostly just hung out, talked and ate...a lot. It was so wonderful just to be together. The kids loved meeting their newest cousin, Capri, and playing with their cousin, Betty. We did venture to a few parks and had an early Easter egg hunt.
Today was Easter, and a very special Easter with it also being Conference Sunday. We started the day with Easter Baskets. The Easter Bunny brought WAY too much candy, but he also brought me a basket full of sugar free gum since I am trying to cut back on my sugar. After baskets and cinnamon rolls, we settled in for conference. There is something special about hearing from the prophet on Easter Sunday! In between sessions we snuck up to visit our old neighbors. They had made Easter baskets for the kids and we had brought them some souvenirs from Arizona. After conference, Papa and Nana, the Lundbergs, and the Ioapos came over Easter dinner. It was our first time hosting and it felt great to finally have a place where we could.
It's been a really busy couple of weeks. I would say that maybe it will slow down but I know that it won't. Carrigan started Lacrosse this week and Merrick starts baseball next week. Things are picking up. Maybe we will get back to real life someday.
