Crazy last two weeks

Well the last couple of weeks have been nutso! Olivia and I went up to Walla Walla for my cousins graduation, and then the Tuesday after we got back I got a phone call from my dad saying that if I wanted to say goodbye to my Grandpa we had better get down to Fortuna ASAP.

We left Wednesday morning in an effort to get there in time to see him before he passed away. We arrived at like 8:45 pm. My mom met us in the parking lot and told us that he had died about 10 minutes earlier. :( The week ended up being filled with crazy stories about Grandpa and lots of crying. The Memorial Service was last Saturday afternoon at 4 pm. My grandmother wanted me to give the Eulogy, so I did, even though I had absolutly no idea how. (I told her that they don't teach those things in youth pastor school)

The next day (Sunday) We got up at 3 am and headed down to Angwin for Olivia's sister's graduation. We spent most of the day there and then went to Santa Rosa to see some friends. Then on Monday we went to San Francisco for the day and walked all over the waterfront. From the Ferry Terminal to Guiradeli Square and back again. the next day we drove the 11.5 hours back home.

Needless to say it was a crazy time! And I am glad that God was watching over us!
