So I am back!! As everyone knows I have been in Kentucky for the past month to help mom out in all ways that she has needed me.
I got to the hospital the day that Grandma died and was fortunate that I got to have the blessing of being with her when God said it was time for her to go back home! Not to many people can say that and I feel like it is a super blessing! 13 days later when Joe was told it was time for him to come home also I again got to be there for that blessing.
While there I met a lot of people that were very nice and caring. i also cleaned out a couple of closets and rooms in general (grandma's and Joe's) I have to say that they both had so much stuff!! I filled my car at least 5 times with cloths to take to the goodwill store and then there was stuff that I took as well as Amy. Grandma had a shoe fetish and collected cloths! Joe also collected his cloths. I found cloths from the 70's in his closet!! There is still a lot of work that needs to be done there at the house but I told mom that eventually I would be making a trip there to stay for a week or so to help her get it done!
We visited with Grandaddy each day and I enjoyed every minute of it! I am hoping to see him again before the time comes that he passes away but if I am not able to, I at least have good memories to keep forever!!
The driving was hard on me when coming home, the baby is in my back and on a nerve so I have pain shooting down my right thigh! I would have to stop every so often just to walk around to avoid crying!! I started to feel the baby move while there as well as feeling the kicking from the outside!! That is one of the most awesome feelings in the world!!
I have to say Happy Birthday to Isabel, Spencer, Amy, Melissa, and of course Ashley!! I have sent cards but I was not able to post the regular happy birthday blog that I like to do. I also didn't get to post the happy anniversary one for Amy and Kalen.
I got home to find the house in a not so clean shape. It might have just been me thinking that but... I also have found that David has been spending the last two weeks at least down at his friends house in Duchesne rather than here. He is tired of being picked on by Kevin. Kevin isn't the nicest person at times and when I am not around it tends to get worse! I am sorry to all that had to put up with his attitudes and such while I was gone!! Nathan has not been staying here either. He stays over in Roosevelt with Tim Cook. He is staying here tonight and he ate dinner with us, so I guess he is doing ok.
I will have to post pictures later of different things from pictures with Grandaddy, the cave, the sign about the kids under 10 not attending bars without an adult, and of course the potter family cousin reunion that took place on sat. the 1st of this month!

I'm looking forward to all of your catch-up posts.
I just think it was so awesome that you were able to go to Kentucky and stay for so long. It was also exceptionally nice of Ashley to go. I know it was a hard, sad experience and I know Mom was SO thankful you were able to shoulder some of the load.
Congrats on the baby moving! Isn't that awesome?
