Father's Day

It makes such a difference being close to family, especially around the holidays, whether it be Christmas, Halloween, or Father's Day. Although we do miss our friends and lives out in Utah. Someday, we hope to get back. Life moves so quickly here, that we have to constantly remind ourselves to slow down and enjoy the simple things. We do enjoy being able to see our families often, and we know that our family is enjoying having us close too. For Father's Day we went over and had Barbeque (real barbeque-- not just a grilling in the backyard)... with my parents, and then the following day, Ruben took his dad out to lunch to one of our favorite hamburgers spots. Ruben loves it, because they serve a mean, deluxe burger that can barely be finished. In a couple of weeks we will be going up to Oklahoma to see Grandpa, Grandma, Great Grandma, Aunt Jan, and Uncle Steve. We're getting really excited for the trip. This will be the first time we've been there since Kasiana was just two weeks old. It's hard to believe that it has been well over a year since Nannaw passed away. The trip will definitely be different without our Nannaw and Pa. I'm glad that we have other family there that we can enjoy, and that Kasiana and Ruben will be going as well. Not a day goes by that we don't miss our Nannaw and Pa. We feel sad that Kasiana never got to know them, but we want to make sure that she gets to know the rest of her family.
