Now why did I have to get this done in 3 days not 5. I'm flying to Utah for the weekend. My aunt passed away so my dad and I are going out to Price for the funeral (in 3 quick days). We are sad to lose our aunt, but we know she has moved onto to a much better place and my grandma has to be so happy. She passed away a long time ago and I'm sure she was happy to see her sister. I'm sure it was a joyous reunion. People always feel sad when they here we are going to a funeral, but don't. That is the wonderful thing about my dads side of the family. They celebrate life, not dwell on their death. It may sound kind of crazy, but our funeral's are fun. I'm not saying there are not a lot of tears, we are all close, but all the family comes in, we share stories and laughs. It's a celebration. One year a couple of the aunts and cousins almost got kicked out of the Holiday Inn for being so rowdy. Mind you, they are all 60 and up. Crazy huh. I am also excited to see my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins,( maybe some friends if I'm lucky) Kurtis and LINDSEY. So I guess what I'm saying from my above list, it is worth working that much to show our support and to see my family.
