Go West

Change of plans! We received a phone call from Fisher's dad on Thursday informing us that Grandma Lake has passed away. After discussion, we made the decision to go home for the funeral. By 4:00 the next day, we had packed up all of our things, given away our extra food, returned the library books, sold our extra toys and furniture, said goodbye to friends, cleaned the house, wrapped up things at the summer internship and we were in the car headed home. Whew! The rush of leaving was matched by our rush to get home which involved driving 34 hours in 48 hours with only 4 hours of solid sleep and random cat naps when possible. Thanks to Alli and Andy who let us crash at their house for a few hours at 4 a.m. We arrived in Idaho yesterday afternoon and were able to attend Grandma Lake's viewing last night and her funeral today. We feel it very fortuitous that everything worked out so well for us to leave and be here for her funeral.
