Remembering Grandpa Low 1927-2010

 

To one of the greatest men who ever lived, thank you for:

• Taking us on trips to see eagles
• Yodeling like mad man as we hid in the bed of your truck up to the duck pond
• Pilling mountains of food on our plates for the sixth time that night
• Nailing our blankets to the grass at Weber State so we’d always have a place to sit for the fireworks

• Making the best caramel corn there ever was!
• Never missing an opportunity to teach us life lessons
• Never failing to share your testimony when we needed it the most
• Supporting us at our games, performances, and graduations
• Your amazing example of a life well lived

• Your obsession with Chuck-a-Rama
• Always making sure the “pond” was ready for us to get in when we came over
• Swinging us in your backyard
• Training Blue Jays to come in so we could feed them
• Always being genuinely and sincerely concerned about each of us
• Testifying of the truthfulness of the Gospel to anyone you came in contact with
• The example of love you showed by taking care of Grandma for all those years
• Always showing off by doing as many push-ups as you were old on your birthdays
• Teaching us a love of nature
• Teaching us to appreciate and value education
• Being our biggest fans

I love you and miss you so much, not a day goes by that I don’t think about the amazing influence you have had upon my life! I love you, you HAMBURGER!!!

2 Months...I do delcare ♥

WOOHOO!!! Phill has been out 2 months as of yesterday February 1st, and guess what I'm not married yet, or anything like unto it. (Take that world!)  Not like I would be any month, because I am head over heels for that cute boy in California!
 My goal for this month is Save Money! I will try to not let myself down; I tend to fudge on productive endeavors, however it never hurts to attempt sporadic productiveness!


I have an idea that if I pretend that Phill will be home really soon, then it doesn't feel so far away. The problem with this idea/plan is that I do get an occasional kick in the gut by reality when I remember how very far away it really is.  But "sacrifice brings forth the blessings of Heaven," so for now I will stay in my state of optimistic denial because it's working for me just fine!  After all "the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss."
