This past weekend we flew out to Pennsylvania for Grandma Jacobs funeral. Losing someone is always bitter sweet. It's hard to see them go and yet knowing that we will see them again is such a comfort. When we talked about the plan of salvation in seminary this morning, having so recently lost a loved one, my testimony of God's wonderful plan was reaffirmed.During the funeral Shane and his dad were able to share some thoughts and memories along with their testimonies and it brought such a sweet spirit to the gathering. After the funeral and luncheon we went back to the graveside with Shane's parents and sister and Shane's dad dedicated the grave. We then proceeded to spend the entire weekend doing things that reminded us of Grandma. We went to the Green Dragon, a giant Amish flea market and bought whoopie pies, we spent the next day at Hershey's Park, and we topped off the trip with a ice cream from Mack's (Grandma always ordered a scoop of peanut butter ice cream). It was a wonderful way to spend the weekend and remember some of the memories that we've made with Grandma Jacobs.
Whoopie Pies!

Yum...I love those "Whoopi Pies"!
We brought some home too. I didn't get any...Lonny ate them all!
Dude. I'm bumming, I didn't even realize that Grandma Jacobs passed away. Wasn't she the one that saved nickels to go gambling? Hope you guys are doing well and that things are happening on the adoption front.
