Grandma Great's Funeral

Last week we went to a funeral for my Great Grandma- my grandpa's mom whom I have grown up calling my "Grandma Great." She was 99 years old and died peacefully the week before. My 2 sisters from California and my mom came in to town and it was so nice to have them here.. It seemed more of a joyous occasion because my Grandma was so old and most of her loved ones had already passed on before her. So it wasn't really sad in any way bc we were all happy that she is finally at peace and with her family and friends. Anywho, it was pretty fun bc after her funeral was over and we were supposed to drive to the cemetery that was about 20 minutes away, we got to ride in a limo! One of our grandma's friends who was there owned a limo service and asked if we wanted to ride with him. It was awesome! I am pretty sure that was my first time in a limo. Then my sisters, mom, and I spent the rest of the day shopping and eating out. it was a great way to spend my last day of classes (by skipping them haha).

Me with Grandma Great last october when we went to visit her:
awesome photograph i found in her house when i visited-- she is the girl on the left, her sister on the right. they are walking in downtown SLC. coolest photo ever!
In the limo on the way to the cemetery.. it was way nice. not like a funky prom limo but more the government luxury type. He told us he has driven people like Laura Bush and even Mitt Romney! Sam was excited to be sitting exactly where Mitt sat haha:

With Mark, the driver. He was so awesome!
At the Cheesecake Factory! yumm.. noah is such a cutie! oh and ignore the finger hehe...
It was fun to see my sisters again!
