Welll... where do I begin... my life has not been to exciting lately! We're going though a little rough patch out here in Colorado, but things are still moving along. I have had alot of ups and downs in the last few weeks and the one that has been on my mind the most is the passing of Grandpa Canova. I know that he is now with his Heavenly Father and he is definately in a better place. I know I did not get to see him as much as I would have liked to, but I know and he knows the love is still there no matter what the distance. I wish I could be closer to all my family, but change is good and it helps you grow to be a better, stronger person. 
For Grandpa they held a graveside service which was very simple and wonderful which is just how he was. While the service was going on there were grey skies all around except for right above us all where you know he was watching us. The best part of the service was that we all got roses to give to Grandma which overfilled a huge vase and was a great representation of our family. He served in the US Navy and Airforce as well as a sheriff in California for many years. He was always there for everyone and was a strong man. There are many memories that I will have of him that include visiting in Manilla, UT and getting to ride in the bucket behind the tractor. Many hours of putting together the wooden animal puzzles he made and getting stumped by all his puzzles. We all love him and will miss him!
P.S. Kenna I think we have the same thoughts on the pictures I promise I wasn't trying to copy you! :)

On another note I am sitting here by my lonesome tonight blogstalking (I am good at this!) David is on his way to Missouri with his dad to pick up a boat and a motor and they took the dogs with them. It is really erie sitting in an empty house with not even the ocasional sound of a dog collar rattling. I was filling a little bumbed out about being alone for a week until I saw this on the fridge!
AWE!!! HE DOES LOVE ME!! The best part of this is that he always makes fun of me when I leave him notes on the fridge, but it made my night to know he does think of me!

NO worries Kenzie.. I stole the Flower picture off Joni's or Sierra's blog! I didn't really take pictures, but I knew everyone else had. Have fun at home this week.
