At G & G's

Boy do I LOVE having the chance to be with my grandparents at their house. They are so wonderful. I have so many great memories with them growing up. I love that everything in Oregon is so familiar to me. I can think through the years and think of all the different things that I did during certain years. So many great memories with family. I think that I take for granted that I have FANTASTIC grandparents on both sides of my family. They are all so caring, encouraging and loving. They all pray for us and enjoy us. I am seriously blessed. I have beautiful memories. I am thankful that Zoë has a wonderful family to love her and create memories with her on my side and on Paul's side. Thank you Lord! Yesterday we drove around Oregon and listened as my grandma told us about life growing up. Where she lived, where her family is buried, how she and grandpa met... it was really sweet and I love hearing it all. I took a ride with my grandpa today, just me and him. It is precious to me to be able to spend time with him. I was bare foot and fancy free as we listened to 40's songs on grandpa's XM radio as he drove me around in his new car. :-) I felt like a little kid again. I TREASURE the moments that I can spend with both sets of grandparents. I wish that I could see them more often. One set is in Oregon and one set goes to a different church so I don't get to see either one all that much, but when I do I soak up the time. I wish I had time to write down all my memories. I know that I will lose some as time passes but I won't lose the good feeling that comes from knowing that I and my family are loved and prayed for. :-)
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Strutz and Grandpa and Grandma Camp for making my childhood and life richer for knowing you and spending time with you. I LOVE YOU ALL!!
