First anniversary of Gene's passing.

Dan Sr--Dans grandpa, Dan Jr.--Dans dad (Gene), Dan III--my husband, Dan IV--our son (D.E.) Here's the thing. kind of creepy. Gene was born when Dan Sr was thirty. Dan was born when Gene was thirty and D.E. was born when Dan was thirty. funny! It's been a full year today that Gene passed away. Janiel didn't want to just go by herself, so she invited everyone to go with her. I can't because it's inventory at the store and that means it's mandatory. I'm kind of glad cuz I, I feel ...I don't know how to describe it. Maybe a little out of place. I have no idea, but it feels wierd to me to go and leave flowers on someone's grave one year after another. I want anyone who reads this to understand that Gene was a wonderful man, and from what I've heard he was really an amazing person. But his funeral was only an hour long. Not because there wasn't much to say but because that's what he wanted. I didn't get to know him all that much, but i'm happy that I'll get to know him later.

Tonight is also the night that Shara (Ian's fiance!!!!) get's her traditional ruby necklace. Mine is heart-shaped ruby with gold around it.
Shara's necklace is a journey setting-sort-of.(tried to put pictures up but there was an error. I'll try again later.) I'm so excited for them. Ian used to be a real grump. Now I can see him smiling and I'm so happy for the two of them. Everyone's betting on dates. I heard on the radio that the eighth of August (08-08-08) is going to be the busiest day to get married because #8 is a chinese proverb for wealth! $$$$$

Ben, Monte, Dan and Ian

Monte is so funny! We were able to make it to Monte's graduation in Logan, UT on May 31, 2008. We went to Monte's house first and had a barbeque, where I was able to meet Shara, Ian's new girlfriend. She's a hair stylist in Twin Falls. We had tons of fun afterward, playing Imagine If...

I don't know if anyone's ever played that game but you say something like this : Imagine if Julie were a movie, would she be a comedy, drama, horror, chic flic, musical, or a silent film. Dan said neither. I would be more of an action (James Bond or Band of Brothers) movie.

We stayed the night in hotel rooms and we were able to witness... how did Dan put it.... oh yah, 60 year old "banana hammocks"!!! Anyway, we had to check out before 11am, so we went over to Heather's best friend's house. Tammy is a lot of fun and a wonderful mother. She has two kids -Chaz, 2 (almost 3 years)and Reece, 9 months. Steve is her husband, who is graduating next semester with his bachlors in education. And they have just sold their house and have to be out by August.

We had fun there, but I had work in the morning, so Dan, D and me left around three. I fell asleep most of the way, but we stopped at a place called Thomas Merc. They had these really yummy chocolate covered peanuts and carmel clusters. Yum Yum YUM!!!
