Minnesota...Ya' Sure You Betcha!

I am a little late in posting this, but wanted to share still! From April 24-27 I was blessed to be able to go visit my dad's side of the family in Minnesota. The doc cleared me to fly the day before I left and told me it's good I was going now because I should not be flying much further along than I was! I wouldn't have missed this time in the world. My Grandpa Bob was recently diagnosed with leukemia, and ever since we found out, I have been on a mission to get to see him and spend some good quality time. He was feeling really great the whole weekend, so we had such a great time together. We ate, talked, watched my grandpa sell bikes (his hobby business), played cards and just spent good quality time being together. It doesn't get much better than that! My aunt, uncle and cousins live there as well, so it was awesome to see them too! My parents were there and Jason and Christie even flew in from Austria to be there!!! Chris unfortunately wasn't able to come along as he was in crunch time for school with finals and projects looming and working at the hospital on top of it all. We are praying that after our baby arrives, that we all can get back to Minnesota soon after! I love my family so much. They are all so dear to me, and I will cherish the memories of this trip forever.
