On may 3rd my Grandma Edwards passed away at the age of 89. Thanks to my family who was able to help with a plane ticket Brayli and I got on the plane may 5th and Brayli took her first plane ride! Brayli slept on both our flights and even did great during the hour lay over. My sister Ashley picked us up in SLC and we headed to SV. Brayli even slept the whole drive to sv. She is sch a trooper and such a great traveler. Monday was the funeral, which was held in freedom, wy. following the service we headed ot murray, ut were grandma would be layed to rest with her husband, who has been gone 41 years. This was another very long day and brayli once agian did great. We spent the night at my sister Brooke's in tremonton. We had such a great time visiting with family and spending time with cousins. We headed back to sv tuesday morning and spent the next few days there. We got ot also visit grandma and grandpa Mcken, and aunt sara. Thursday afternoon, my mom took us to logan and we stayed the night with aunt ashley. Since our flight was leaving at 5:50 am, we were up at 2:30 and left for slc at 3:15. We were in for yet another very long day. Brayli slept the first flight, and did great playing around during our 3 hour delay in denver. She then once again slept on the next flight to San Antonio. We had such a great time in sv, but we were glad to be back with daddy and get back to our daily routine.
I'm so blessed to have been able to learn from my greandma while she had her time on this earth. Also i'm so greatful for the wonderful man she raised, who I am so proud and blessed to have as my father. I'm so greatful family was able to help with the ticket so i could show support for my dad. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful family, who is always showing chad and I love and support!! I'm so greatful for ashley taking off extra time at work to be able to pick us up form the airport and getting up so early in the morning to take us back to the airport. i'm so greatful for my parents, who really coudn't afford the ticket, sacrificed so we could be there. Also, to each of my siblings who pitched in what they could for the ticket. I feel blessed everyday for the womderful family i have been raised in. I'm also so greatful to Brooke's mother-in-law, who let us use a car seat she had, so we didn't have to pay extra money to bring ours. Another thanks to my aunt, who let us use her pack n-play for brayli to sleep in! Thanks for all those who made this trip possible!!! We love you all so much and our so greatful for all you do for us!!
While in star valley we were able to go see the old house in auburn. This is the house that my grandma Edwards was raised in, and believe it or not it still stands and is still in such good condition. It holds some of the families stuff and it was so cool to go inside and experiance the history it holds. I also learned a lot of family history this trip, which i am so greatful for.
Here are some pictures from our trip to sv:
