The funeral was beautiful. I had told myself that I wouldn't cry but the military part of it got me almost sobbing. It was truly beautiful.
Conference weekend reminded us of Mom of course. But we still were able to enjoy the talks quite a bit more than last year...

Birthday celebrations |

I seriously got SO spoiled! I had told Adam that all I wanted was a laid back birthday this year. But things kept coming and people kept showing up. Between the people, the flowers, the massage date, the sushi dinner and way too many presents it ended up being one of my best birthdays yet. I definitely felt loved a ton! |
