missing grandpa

This afternoon one of my friends from work got married today..it was a beautiful ceremony. During the lighting of the unity candle I was hit with memories of Josh and my wedding when the couple went to hug their grandparents, I instantly teared up. I'm not really an emotional person, but I also have never really truly lost someone close like grandpa. I still remember how he smelled, how his voice sounded and most of all his smile. One of my most favorite days with him was celebrating our anniversary together at red lobster, it was our 1st and their 52nd. Grandpa and grandma both ordered pina coladas. .virgin of course and we had never ending shrimp! Grandpa drove us up to red lobster and josh drove us home because we all were afraid for our lives on the way up grandpa would go 30 to 90 in a 2mile stretch. None the less it was a day to remember. I mowed grandmas lawn the other day and the whole time I mowed I thought of him, I remember being 8/9 years old and riding bikes in their driveway while he mowed and grandma was at work. He comes into my mind often and today was just a little stronger than others, I do miss him soo much and it saddens me to see it in my grandma too. She tries to hide it but I see it in her eyes everytime I see her. I only hope Josh and I can grow old together like they did! He was a good man....heres to you grandpa love ya to the moon and back!

Summer is flying by soo fast! We are all getting ready for school to start. Libby has put everything she needs in her backpack for school...and loved the folders the most! Miss Piper will be starting preschool...can't believe she's going to be riding the bus with her big sister! This summer we've done a lot of fishing, swimming, campfires, libby learned how to ride her bike over the fourth of july with the help of my brother chris. She's also becoming quite the fourwheeler rider! As for piper she has become quite the story teller, she comes up with the craziest stuff and gets u actually believing it. For example she started a day off telling me she caught a bunny last night and it scratched her...I asked josh if they caught one, he said nope, well she cont to tell my mom, dad and kim and they all had to ask if it were true! She's such a funny full of spunk lil lady. She plays baby house
whenever she can, and she's still attached to her blankie so we will see how going to school with no naps and no blankie goes!....fingers crossed!

Libby has decided to make a onesie out of a fleet farm bag
