Grandma's funeral

This last couple of weeks has been kinda rough for Jeremy and his family. His Grandma (his mom's mom) passed away after almost a week in intensive care. Jeremy was asked to play the piano at the memorial service, and during the conversation somehow volunteered me to sing a solo while he played the piano!!!! I love to sing and have done a lot of it in my life time, but I have NEVER sung a solo in my life, and was sooooo nervous! But I knew it would mean a lot to him if I did it! We had two days to practice, and he is amazing! He practiced every free minute he had and learned the song well enough to accompany me! I was so nervous! For some reason when I sing I get so nervous in front of people that my throat swells and I shake so bad my knee caps shake! Needless to say we prayed really hard that we would be able to perform the musical number, and not cause more pain in the process. And good news..... it worked! It went pretty well all things considered! Not that I would like to do it again, but my first experience definately wasn't as bad as I had imagined.
After the memorial service we went to Jeremy's uncles house and had a bbq and chatted with the family. It was a lot of fun, and I ejoyed getting to know more of Jeremy's family. Thanks for making me feel so welcome in your family!

  1. That's too bad to hear about Jeremy's grandma. The day Katie and I got home from our honeymoon in Cancun, we found out that Grandma Lehman died. It was a quick crash back into reality (literally, we were still in the airport when we got the call). But as I'm sure you know, being together and leaning on each other for support really helped! Hope you two are enjoying the summer. We'll be in Logan on Tuesday and I hear Katie is getting her hair done... looking forward to seeing you guys again!
