We have had an eventful last few weeks. The first week of October I went down to Utah again for a school conference. It was an awesome conference and I leaned and experienced a ton. The first 3 days were prenatal care lab and then I took sexual abuse. I missed my family so much since Jason took the week off again to watch the kids at home in Montana while I was away. I stayed with my grandparents. My grandpa passed away the second day of the conference. My dad called me during the day to tell me he had passed. I was so glad that I was there in SLC and that I had been able to see him for a couple of days before his death. My mom was there staying with my grandparents, too, since they new my grandpa wasn't doing well and would soon die. It was a bittersweet week after that because we were sad at grandpa's passing but also so happy to see so much family that came in. I cancelled my Friday class because that was the funeral day. Everyone was there except for one cousin. Even Brent flew in from Boston and my cousin Brian flew in from the Virgin Islands. I saw family members that I had not seen in years. We all felt Uncle Bruce's loss pretty keenly during that time.My family loved spending the short amount of time we had with Brent. We went out to eat the night he came in and then after the funeral we just hung out for a while. I went home on Saturday and had the rest of the day to wash clothes and prepare to fly to Las Vegas on Sunday for a family vacation. Jason was angelic and had the whole house clean when I got home. I was so surprised and delighted! Las Vegas was fun. We walked around and saw all the lights and massive casinos. We took the kids to the Tournament of Kings at the excalibur. That was super fun. We stayed at Circus Circus and the kids liked the circus acts and the games, where they won lots of stuffed animals. I took the kids to Shark's Reef, which is a great aquarium, while Jason went to the LV temple. I think the boy's favorite part was when we took them to the Adventuredome. That is an indoor amusement park. Our latest bit of adventure was a few days ago when we found out we will be moving to Cape Cod, Massachusetts next year. We are excited. It will be a whole new adventure for us. So, if any of you have ever been there, we would love info since neither of us has ever been to the Cape.

Don't worry. I had to do the same to her after.
