Quick Trip

Mark's Grandpa Jacobson passed away last week after a long battle with cancer.  We had just been to Utah for a ski trip, so we had decided that just Mark would go up for the funeral.  Well, finding flights was a huge problem, because they were all sold out!   Mark finally found a flight there, but he wouldn't be able to come back until 4 days later.  Not wanting to be left behind for that long, Brielle and I went along.

The funeral was nice, and I'm so glad that I went with Mark.  I haven't really met the Jacobson side of the family, so it was really neat to see where Mark comes from in that sense.  It really helped me understand a lot more about him in certain aspects.  He really comes from a great family on both sides.

One of the best things about our trip is that Brielle got to see her cousin Owen.  Owen is only 6 weeks younger than Brielle, and they had a great time together.  I think they will always be special cousins.
