Yesterday I was blessed beyond words by a surprise visit from my dear Grandma Eleanor and Great Uncle Herb and Auntie Myrna. On their way to Boise, ID and later Arizona, they went out of their way to come out to Jackson Hole and visit me!
I loved giving them the grand tour around my home here, introducing them to my extended family in the Hole and showing them my favourite coffeeshop. We had time before dinner to run into town and show Gramma the elk arches and such in the square. I suggested the Bar J for dinner because the students were all going. I didn't know but Uncle Herb and Auntie Myrna had been here before and wanted to go to the Bar J again so it worked out great! We had such a fun time talking and getting our chuckwagon dinner and then laughing throughout the show. It was so much fun to see family again, not mention spend an evening at the Bar J.
It was such a cool thing to spent time with my family. Sometimes I feel so isolated out here, so very far from home and all things Canada. I was soooo touched that they made the effort and the drive out here. My family is the greatest! I cannot thank God enough for them and for bringing them down to visit me, encourage me and warm my heart.
And the blessings don't end there! Next week my Mom and her parents are coming down on their way to Arizona too! (apparently we're like Canada geese, migratory) I'm so excited to see them all and spend time with them. It's been too long since I've been with family. Well, blood-related family for I cannot overlook the amazing family I have here! So many brothers and sisters, I am truly blessed!
