The day started off well as Jen, Connie (Mother-in-law) and me went to the church early to make preperations for the memorial service. The rest of the family arrived shortly after.
It seemed like things were going off without a hitch until we were informed by the pastor that the projector that was going to be used for the DVD slideshow we created had crashed, but an hour later they found a solution and we ended seeing the video while having lunch in the dining area downstairs.
We hung out down there for a good while then left to the hotel where the Butterfields (Connie's sisters & parents) were staying. It was fun there. We took the extra food in and talked for several hours. There were a lot of small sandwiches left over from the lunch, which we helped in shrinking the numbers (especially David & Seth). One of the big subjects we went into was how there was no cheese for the sandwiches until after everyone ate. Can I just say I love Grandpa Butterfield.
We left for home, watch Little Miss Sunshine (Good movie, check it out), and went for bed.
Today we were surposed to meet back with Connie's family for breakfast, but it is snowing pretty good and grandpa wanted to get on the road so it was cancelled. Oh well we could use the relaxation and hopefully I'll get to see some football. Giving that there are 3 TVs, 2 in the closed off rooms of Jenny's siblings, everyone in the main room and not huge football fans (especially Jenny) I don't think football will happen (Go Saints & Colts). Wish I owned a portable TV. Live and Learn.
The only concern I have is the weather condition flying back home Monday Morning.
Pray for us.
Later.................
