Half of me is missing....

So I just have to get this off my chest and say that it has been one night and one day since my wonderful husband left to go on a fishing, camping trip to the Uintahs with his brothers, dad and cousin! He won't be back until saturday evening so I'm staying with my parents so I can have something to do and someone to be with, but I am dying!!! I've never felt so incomplete and lost before. Good thing Dean doesn't want to be a traveling business man or army guy or any job that takes him away from me cuz I don't think I could handle it. I just sure miss him but am happy he gets to have a fun vacation. So I think I will survive and like my mom says, absence makes the heart grow fonder!!!

God be with you til we meet again

A cowboy on a horse came down after they set the coffin down and he was playing his harmonica and when he was close enough he started yodeling a song "back in the saddle again"-gpa ward loves yodeling! it was very special and appropriate.

Gma Ward and some daughters. what an amazing family

The beautiful coffin and beautiful cemetery.

Most of the grandsons/pallbearers. The view from the cemetery was so beautiful. the only problem was there were a bazillion mosquitos.

So much has happened...first of all Dean's grandpa Ward passed away a couple weeks ago. They are from Paris, ID so that is where the funeral was. It was such a fun funeral. That is kind of an oxymoron but what I mean is the speakers told so many wonderful, funny, cute stories about gpa ward. They talked about how he loves singing how he lost part of his hearing but he could still harmonize, they talked about his love for the tabernacle in Paris, ID, our Uncle Philip talked about how he had asked gpa ward if he could have half a day off from work (they had a farm and a lot of land) Gpa ward said "sure you can have 12 hours off. You can choose whether the first 12 hours or the second 12 hours" he taught them how to work hard. It was so fun to see the whole family, there were some cousins that I had never even met.

The gospel truly does make everything seem a little better than it really is. Thank goodness for the plan of salvation!!! Both of Dean's grandpas and one of mine are up there doing the Lord's work and time is not an issue for them so I'm sure to them it will be no time when all of us are there. I love being a member of the true and everlasting church!!!
