A wedding, a funeral and a cold

Ever since Nathan and I got home from England we have been non stop busy. (i will eventually put more pictures of our trip up soon) We had General Conference which was great and then my cousin got married Easter weekend in Salt Lake. We drove up with my parents and stopped in Vegas for the night. We shared a room and decided that will be the last time we do. Sorry mom, I love you but your snoring is loud. The wedding was beautiful and I enjoyed walking the temple grounds. Since my cousin is a quarter Japanese she had sushi at the wedding. Delicious. She also folded 1,000 paper cranes which were beautiful. After the reception it was down to Provo to spend the evening with Nathan's brother. Thank you Jared and Lynette for letting us stay. Sunday was Easter but it was also somebody's birthday. That's right my hottie of a husband turned 29! No offense to anyone 29 or older but it just sounds so old. I think Nathan is not looking forward to turning 30 next year. We had a little Easter hunt and a birthday lunch before it was back to Salt Lake to catch our plane home. It was a short but fun visit to Utah.

While we were in Utah we received some sad news. Nathan's grandma had passed away. It was something we were expecting since her kidneys stopped functioning earlier in the week. Luckily we were able to say goodbye before we left for Utah. It was a bitter goodbye but we know she is no longer in pain and us reunited with her husband so that's comforting. Her funeral was last weekend. It was a beautiful service and Nathan's cousin put together a beautiful slide show and his other cousin sang a touching song. It was nice seeing all of Nathan's family but sad under the circumstances.


I love this old photo of Nathans grandma 

Now I finally have a normal week of work and interning so I can get back into the swing of my normal schedule and of coarse I get sick. Really body? I was just sick in February your doing this to me again? I thought I got my yearly cold over with. I probable picked something up at the funeral. Why is it when you are sick you just want someone to take care of you? Unfortunately Nathan is running the Ragnar relay from Huntington beach to Coronado so he won't be home until late tonight. Alas I had to take my self to urgent care this morning since I coughed up blood. Turned out I popped a few blood vessels in my throat along with a viral infection. hopefully with medicine I will be back to my usual self soon. I really just want to go back to the regular grind, work, intern, wifey duties that kind of stuff. I seriously don't want to go anywhere for a month. So that's my rant for the day…let's hope I am back to my cheery self soon.

The Kaiser office made me wear a mask so I wouldn't get my germs everywhere

I didn't know Grandpa played checkers with Nathan. You should try to lighten their faces a little and post it on facebook so Millie can see it.
