Quick Trip


We took a last minute trip up to Salt Lake City this weekend to attend the funeral of Alan's Aunt, Jane Brienholt. She was a wonderful woman who fought leukemia for the last year. It was a sad event, she was so loved by her family. Alan's 98 year-old grandmother flew in from Palm Springs. She has buried 2 husbands, 2 sons, and now a daughter. She is the picture of grace.

It just so happened that my parents were in town, so we stayed with them in Park City and caught as much conference as we could. It was a busy weekend and we didn't get to spend as much time with them as we would have liked.
We also ran down to American Fork to meet our newest neice, Sage Juliet Curtis, who is only 10 days-old. She is darling and we were tempted to bring her home with us....

We were kid free for 3 days and 2 nights which was so so so nice. The boys were busy here having their own adventures with Shanda, my sis-in-laws sister, who moved in for the weekend and took such great care of our boys. We owe you Shanda!

Jane was a good friend of my mother in law (such a small world). I'm sorry for your loss...glad you could make the trip to UT.

Oh my goodness... not the couples getaway you were probably envisioning but sometimes those quick trips to see loved ones and be able to reunite with family without the little ones tugging on your skirt are all you need. I'm so sorry to hear about Alan's aunt.
