Married Life!!!: February 2009

This is me with my Grandmas and Great Grandmas (GGs) and my sister Chelsi...

Here we are again...all "grow'd" up as we say in Missoura

GG watching me play a game at Family Fun Center...

GG on one of her visits to Cincinnati...dad was driving her around to see all the sites and despite the rain she hopped out of the car to get her picture taken in front of the skyline =)

GG at Sea World in Orlando, FL our crazy family vacation to Disney world...the mime was giving her a hard time, teasing her and "flirting" with her so she pinched his bottom right back =)

G up by the lake on the farm...

playing Skip-Bo with her sister...she loved to play games and do puzzles and write poems...

Her 80th B-day...she was 87 and would have been 88 this year...

at our wedding last May...

Clara Edna Arehart was an amazing, Godly woman. She was one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever met. She never met a stranger and you'd never know if she was having a bad day. She loved life, to travel, to play games and do puzzles. She liked to go to the movies and loved spending time with family and friends. She was a farm girl and loved being outdoors; she had a green thumb like you wouldn't believe and made the best dinner rolls and sticky buns. She taught me to write poems and how to quilt. She loved music and was always humming. She knew the names and songs of all the birds and trees and told the greatest stories. But most of all my GG loved her creator, her savior and I look forward to spending an eternity in heaven with her. I have been blessed to have all of my grandmas for the better part of my life. I have grown up with them and learned from them and my life has been enriched and I have been stretched as a person. I know I am a better person for having had my grandmas.

Airport...had to...
