life as we know it

"that was a really nice service. when they walked out that last time...  I was at piece..." this is what i heard from my husband as we drove home from his grandpa's funeral. the words almost brought tears to my eyes. it was a beautiful service and i think it was everything that grant needed. it was sad (what funeral isn't?) the idea of death is never fun. i was sitting in church and i said a little prayer to my grandma. i asked her comfort grandpa mueller, show him the "ropes" of his new home. and of course i cried, funerals just bring back the day of my grandma's and how much i miss her and hate that aryssa never got to meet her. anyway after i said my prayer i felt at piece. and it was just such an amazing moment when grant was talking to me on the way home when he said he felt at piece. just one of those moments you know that God helped you with.
so lets see what else is going on in our life.... not too much. getting ready for christmas. we put up our christmas tree saturday. it looks so cute! we got it all out and up when aryssa was napping we knew she would try and "help" us and we didn't want it to be a stressful time! so when aryssa got up from nap we both walked her out to the living room and showed her the tree and lights. she loved them! her eyes lit up and and she smiled so big! we plan on wrapping presents and getting them under the tree, but my guess is that we may have to put them in our window to keep them away from our little busy body!
today i also went to walmart to get a bunch of pics developed that my cousin Ashley took for aryssa's one year birthday. they all looked so cute. my sister and cousin both take such amazing pictures, i wish i had half the talent that they do!
so i guess that is it for now. i have to say i am kind of proud of myself remembering and giving myself time to blog lately :)

ONE MORE THING! I would like to say a HUGE HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my wonderful husband Grant tomorrow. 12-6. he turns the big 26 tomorrow. Happy Birthday babe i love you! (yeah i know he doesn't read this but oh well!)
