There is something about approaching a cemetery lined with flags, flowers, and people that makes me smile and appreciate life.
When life comes at me hard and I feel unprepared, I find myself in a location that normally wouldn't give me peace. My Grandfather's grave. When I was in the middle of my first marriage and divorce came up, I called my sister from the cemetery. When Colby proposed, I was there again. When we were married, I took Colby back. I don't always go when life is hard, a lot of times it's when things are great and I'm just feeling a little inadequate.
This weekend wasn't any different, except that everyone else was doing it. :)
I feel a sense of peace when I see OZMUN on his headstone, maybe it's because I know I'll be seeing him again some day, or that he is visiting with me, or even that I can feel him in my day to day life. It's a great feeling.
Colby and I have decided that we would use our weekend serving.
We did manage to get in a golf game but we had to, in Grandpa's memory. :)
Colby stained my Mom's fence while I painted the dog's house. Trust me, it was a sore thumb and needed my help. We did a little bit of weeding before we met up with the boy scouts to take down the flags around the neighborhood. I love watching Colby interact with the boys and it makes me anxious to start our family.
We ended the day with a fire in the backyard with family.
I'm already looking for our next project for our next day off. :)
Instagram is fantastic and I'm addicted.
