Eric's Granny turned 99 this year, and has been really sick for the past few weeks. She passed away a few nights ago and we drove to Warrenton, MO last night to be here for her funeral today. It was really nice to see all of his family, but also really tough to see how hard the loss was on Tony.
I was really nervous because this was my first time going through the full process of a viewing, mass, and funeral at the cemetery. It was really emotional, and just crazy to see what an amazing family started with Granny. I'm sorry that I don't have more to say or any pictures, but it just wasn't that sort of day.
On our way home, we went out of our way by about an hour to visit with Grampa Ed and Grandma Judy. We hung out at their house for about an hour and then drove to Columbia for a really good dinner at Applebees.
This is a blog detailing the happenings of our first year of marriage, day by day.

Family Weekend
We had a long and busy weekend, and got to see a lot of family! Friday was Alan's birthday dinner at his favorite Chinese food restaurant. Then on Saturday I went out with Alison and her roommate to do some shopping. I went to my first "diaper swap" at the Happybottomus cloth diaper store, where I bought my first cloth diaper!!!
Saturday night was a dance party at Brian and Jen's house. There wasn't an overwhelming amount of dancing, but there was a ton of humorous conversations and some new dance moves were invented. Namely, Eric's mad hip swing, haha!
Eric and I led our first Financial Peace University class. Only one couple showed up, but there were two others who registered online and didn't show up. So we'll see if they come to the next class. Then we ran to Papa's house for his housewarming party. Molly, Eric, Papa and I spent the afternoon cleaning and decorating and cooking at his place. Then Mom brought baked beans and Sean and Deb brought desserts. Everyone hung out and watched all of the little kids play. Mom took portrait photos of the little ones, and we were all happy to see Molly.
The end to our weekend was an awesome Monday. Eric and I went in for our first ultrasound, and got to see our little babe and his/her heart beating away. Then we went to see "I Don't Know How She Does It" in the AMC Cinema Suites. Screechy leather chairs, delicious food, and a crappy milkshake, haha!
