It's All Relative

The RDG.

That's the unofficial acronymn for Redding if you didn't know. Me and those I know usually use it as a noun, like " Yeah, I am visiting The RDG..."

Anyways....

Today was a good day. Although my Uncle Bob's funeral was today and it was very sad to go through, being together with my whole family was cool. It is so rare that I see my entire family: Parents, sisters, brother, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc so when we get to all hang out, it's really quite fun. My family is rather small, I only have 3 cousins and 1 aunt from my Dad's side and although we are very different, we still find ourselves laughing histerically at the same stories. MY Grandpa's brothers and sister and their spouses all drove down from Idaho Falls and it was so awseome to see them with my Grandpa. We would all just sit and listen to them tell sotries from way back when. I love seeing my Grandpa with his brothers. He laughs so hard. Its's great and I am so glad they came all this way to be with him. They are the nicest people, I wish we could see them more.

Here is a picture of me and my counsin's little boys. Cara's son, Mason, is on the left. Staci's son, Cole, is on the right. They are the most beaufiful kids ever, Seriosuly, they are like little models. They don't look so happy here, but trust me, they are adorable.

Tomorrow I head back to SLC. I am bummed. I like being home, usually I get sick of it and am totally ready to get on out of here, but this was a really fun trip. I realized how much I miss my family when I am gone and how much fun I have with them. It's a shame I live so far away and can't visit more often. I think maybe I should look for a job in California. That'd be so cool to live closer to the fam.
The one crappy thing about this weekend though, is that it's been hot. I mean, really, really hot. I forgot how horrible it is in Redding during the summer. I think it was 113 today. Miserable. You can't do anything when it's this hot out. Nothing helps. Not even swimming, which we thought about, but it doesn't even sound fun when it's hotter than Hades outside.

I really hope it's not that hot in Salt Lake.
