Putting the 'fun' in funeral
Last week I spent 4 days in California to attend my dear Aunt Deanna's funeral. This was the second funeral in 2 months for my family (my grandma passed away in December). Despite the fact that we were all together again for a funeral, we managed to make it fun. If there is such a thing as putting the 'fun' into 'fun'eral, we were successful. Just flying there and back with my sister was such a blast! We were like 12 year old girls again. And yes, we had more luggage than the two of us could handle, plus my sister's baby. We were lucky to run into Elder Ballard at the Orange County airport. It was an awesome experience to meet him (We thought it was funny that living in Utah you never see the General Authorities, yet here we were in California running into him). Just hanging out with all of my mom's family was the highlight of the trip. I even met a cousin I hadn't seen in 20 years (love you, Chris!). We managed a trip to the beach, lunch on the pier, watched the dolphins, and drove up and down the Coast highway checking out all the expensive cars. So.....hopefully we are done with funerals for a while. Enjoy some pictures from the trip.....

It was a fun trip! Thanks for all your help with the babe! Our midnight run to Carl's Jr is priceless! I love you Kath, and I'm lucky you're my sister! xoxo
Hi Kathy. You are so darling and witty and it is fun to read your blog. I like finding out what you have been up to every now and then. Hopefully we will see you at the Mothers Day brunch in a couple months.
Kathy, What a great trip. Even though it was short, it was certainly memorable! Thanks for sharing your piano talent at Dee's funeral, it made it so special! It truly was fun to once again 'share' a motel room with our girls...it's been awhile. Thanks again, Love, Mom
What a bunch of FUN pictures! It is nice to catch up with family, but also a sad time. I LOVE your last picture!! So cute! We LOVe cali. I was born in Newport Beach & we lived in Laguna Hills! And Laguna is where Steve broke his neck - boogie boarding! :( Lots of memories there! Looks like you had a fun time! Miss you! Lisa
We love Newport Beach we go there every year, cute pictures. Did you get my message I left this morning on your phone?
It was great seeing you guys for a few minutes. What a great family you all have. I want to thank you for your great example to my family. It means a lot.
Love,
Don
You can put the 'fun' in anything you do. Sorry to hear about your aunt, but I am glad it brought the family together. I think that I should move somehwere coastal so that when my friends/family come to my funeral then they get to go to the beach too! :)
Wow! Way to make the best of it. Sounds like a busy and memorable trip. Awesome!
FUN! I love the beach! That is great that you met Elder Ballard! No place better than the OC airport!! I am happy that you got a few days off to relax and be 12 yrs old again!
