Today it has been half a year since I began dating the man of my dreams. I never imagined it would turn out so great.
I love Jacob Kemp with my whole heart! I cannot thank God enough for bringing you into my life.

No more weeping, hurt, or pain.
On Tuesday the 27th of April, the one grandpa I have always known went to see Jesus.
My mom's stepdad who raised her and us grandkids, actually passed away in his sleep in my Aunt Lindsay's arms that morning. He's been sick for a few years now and living in a Veterans home in Boise, Idaho. As of recent, he has been very sick on and off, and many prayers were sent his way, but we always knew he was strong and always came through, but sometimes he got worse. When I went to visit in September, it was really hard for me to see him because he had such a hard time talking and eating. However, it warmed my heart to see him smile and to be able to see him and that God brought me there so I could in some small way, say goodbye.
My grandpa was the only grandpa I'd ever truly known until the summer of 2011. He raised my mother the majority of her life, as her real dad and mom were divorced when she was young. My dad's father died when I was five. My grandad left behind a handful of grandchildren, a handful of children (full, half, and step all together), and an incredible and strong wife, woman of God, and grandmother. Many prayers are being lifted up and are always appreciated for her and the family in Idaho.
I am so thankful that Grandaddy was taken away peacefully to be with the Lord, and that he now has a new body with the Lord. My mom and I laughed together, knowing that right now he is probably looking down on us saying, "Stop crying! You all know how much I hated that Veteran's home. I'm not stuck up in a room alone all day, I'm no longer weeping, or in pain, but I'm running around with the King of Kings! Cheer up, Losers. I'll see you all soon..."
