Family is one of the greatest blessings our Father in Heaven has given us. They are there for us in our best moments and in our worst. This weekend was all about family, past and present.
My mom was able to come up and spend the weekend up in Provo which I was thrilled about. Then on Saturday we went with my cousins and aunts and grandparents to Kamas where part of my Grandma Wrights' family is buried. We met up with some of her sisters and their families and listened to several of the stories about those who we had come to pay our respects to. It was really interesting to hear the some of the stories of my great grandparents and their children.
Sunday was a typical Sunday. Dinner at my Aunt and Uncle's and then card games at my grandparents' house followed by a movie at my cousins apartment. :)
Monday, Memorial Day was another great time to honor our ancestors. This time we went up to Logan to visit my Grandpa's side of the family. This was more interesting for me because I actually knew some of my relatives that I was visiting. I will always remember my great Grandma Wright reading me stories as a little girl. After that my cousins and I had a picnic where we played games, ate delicious food and had an amazing day.
As I enjoyed the company of the some of the people that truly matter the most to me in the world, and visit those who have gone before me and given me some of my most precious gifts. I looked around me and realized just how grateful I was for all of my family, past and present. I spent my memorial day weekend the best way I possibly could have, with the greatest people I know, I spent it with my family.
