Well tonight there was a Relief Society ice cream and family history social. I have to admit I love family history, but I only really like finding out how people lived, their life story, and what they thought about life. I think I've posted about this before, but I am so grateful for the treasures my grandparents gave to me that are their personal histories! Thanks grandma and grandpa Larson. They have always been such a great example to me and are amazing people. I have enjoyed reading their stories and thoughts and I will forever treasure them! They are serving their third mission for our church currently in Philadelphia the other missions they've been on have been to Cyprus and Italy. (for those of you who aren't LDS.. seniors who are retired often go on missions to work as missionaries,be mission presidents, or work in the office! They help keep all the 19-21 year old missionaries in line and help the missions run smoothly, send missionaries home and receive new ones.) I've enjoyed communicating with them through emails on their missions. I know that it has brought us so much closer together and has blessed our lives. I feel like I know them better than my other grandparents and am saddened I don't have the same opportunities with everyone. I'm also grateful for how they embraced and welcomed brad to our family with love. I love having enjoyed time with my grandparents together especially when we shared our engagement with them. I could see how proud of us and happy for us they were. I hope that I will be able to give my posterity as much information on my life as they have given me. I love you grandma and grandpa!
