October…

My parents came for a visit the beginning of the month and it was so much fun to have them come and see where we live! We enjoyed conference weekend together and went to Greenbluff, Bowl and Pitcher and visited the Spokane Temple. It was such a wonderful weekend and I loved having them here. I have the greatest parents and feel so incredibly blessed!  Love you maw-maw and paw-paw.

Neal's Grandpa passed away on October 9th. The funeral was that next weekend  so Neal and I hopped in the car and drove home for the funeral.  Neal gave a great prayer at the funeral and his brother Nephi gave a great talk. I enjoyed hearing the grandkids tell stories and reminisce about Grandpa Richins. It was a beautiful funeral and the family paid a great tribute to him.
