This past weekend my husband and I took a 15 hour road trip to Greenup, Kentucky for his best friend's funeral. The drive up was not bad. We made it from Stillwater to Uniontown, KY the first day. Joe's father is buried there along with is grandfather. His father grew up there and so I got to see the farm and the gravesite of his father. We met up with Joe's "uncle" Rodney. Uncle Rodney is Joe's godfather and his father's best friend. He told us stories about Joe's dad and I am starting to discover that Joe is a lot like his father!
The next morning we got up and traveled the last 6 hours across Kentucky to Greenup. Kentucky and Missouri are SO PRETTY in the fall. The trees were amazing! The funeral was VERY hard and sad on the both of us. There were several other 2/2 guys that were there so it was great to see them and to spend time with them. My 2 best girlfriends came with their husbands so it was AWESOME to get to see them, although I wish it were under different circumstances. My friend Jen has a 10 month old that I got to see for the first time. He's ADORABLE!!!!!(and looks like his mommy...thank god):0)
The car ride home sucked because this time we did it in 1 day instead of 2. The last hour before home I could not keep my eyes open....thank god Joe was driving...but I was no help to keep him awake! The ride up and back was great. Joe and I got a long perfectly and we actually got to talk to each other. Since I work all day and take night classes it is kind of hard sometimes to have a quality conversation time.
Please continue to keep Garth's wife and parents in your prayers.
Thanks

Glad you were able to attend and that you made it home safely! Of course I think about his family every day and hope his wife is getting the best help possible.
