Every year we look forward to visiting our family in Arizona. I used to go every year to visit my grandparents, aunt, and uncle. After Tim and I got married, we carried on the yearly tradition, and have now made it a family tradition with our girls. We love visiting the desert. The beautiful mountains, deep blue sky, the ever changing cacti, and I can't forget to mention the heat. We enjoy all of it, but the best part is our wonderful and fun family.
This year was kind of bitter sweet for me. My grandpa is in his final stages of Parkinson's disease. It was special to be able to see him, yet difficult too, as this may have been the last time I will see him. He was able to meet Jayda for the first time, and we were able to visit with him for a few days and reminisce. My grandparents are pretty amazing people. We are all convinced my grandma will out live us all. Her and my grandpa have been married for over 60 years. They have had their ups and downs, just as any marriage does, and are still going strong. My grandpa was Chief pilot for Alaska Airlines for many years. After retiring several years ago, he and my grandma moved to Arizona year round.
We love you grandpa and grandma and already miss you both!
