<\/a>Eating lunch at a park<\/p><\/div>\n
A couple of weeks ago my mom came for a visit.\u00a0 She was here for about 7 days.\u00a0 While she was here we really kept busy.\u00a0 I dragged her everywhere.\u00a0 Of course I always forget to bring my camera with me to anything.\u00a0 I was hoping I would get a picture with just me and my mom but somehow that eluded us.\u00a0 One of the days she was here we took a trip to Rexburg.\u00a0 She went to school at Ricks College when my dad and her were first married.\u00a0 I knew she would want to see how much it changed.\u00a0 I also asked her to bring all of her genealogy with her.\u00a0 I love learning about my ancestors and her dad was raised in Salem Idaho.\u00a0 There are a lot of ancestors buried in the Rexburg cemetery. \u00a0\u00a0 I had asked my mom to take me there and show me where their resting spot are.\u00a0 We made an afternoon of it and stopped by a local park and ate lunch with the kids.\u00a0 Then we headed over to the cemetery.\u00a0 My mom got her genealogy book out and handed me the life story of William Alva Judy( my Great Great Great Grandpa).\u00a0 We sat down by his grave and read his story to the kids. \u00a0 I find it is so interesting to hear about his life.\u00a0 I also feel it is so important for us to remember those who have gone on before us.<\/p>\n
Whenever my mom comes here I try and take her to the Idaho Falls Temple.\u00a0 This is where her and my dad were married 38 years ago.\u00a0 I love to go here and experience the peace I feel here.\u00a0 I also love to share this experience with my mom.\u00a0 When I lived in Grants Pass, my mom and I used to spend almost every day together.\u00a0 We became really close.\u00a0 When she was visiting it reminded me of that time we had together.\u00a0 I miss it.\u00a0 I wished we still lived close.\u00a0 I love my mom and I hope she knows how much she means to me.\u00a0 I love you mom!<\/p>\n
