In memory of..

Carl K. Rasmussen

My grandpa rejoined my grandma January 29, 2010. My whole family flew up to idaho this last week for the funeral. It went really good. I kept saying it looked like my grandpa lost 30 years and he just needed to dye his hair to look my my dad's twin. ha! oh grandpa! At the funeral itself my dad spoke along with a few others. I actually learned alot about my grandpa this week that I didnt know. For instance, he held my grandma over a cliff and said he'd drop her if she didnt say yes to his proposal. hahaha. At the cemetry he was honored with a 21 gun salute for his service in the military.

As we started to go through thing at my grandpa's house I came across this super awesome sweater. It was his high school lettering sweater. We found three different ones. Mine was the simplest looking (it was his high school one). Zane is sporting his college lettering sweater below.


Even though it was FREEZING! In idaho, it was still really good to see my family. I know I saw my parents and siblings in december but most of my cousins I havent seen in like 12 years. Well that visit willjust have to hold me over until next christmas when my family comes to arizona.

what a surprise, I still dont look like my sisters.

  1. I love that first picture of you! You (as always) are gorgeous!

    Sorry about your grandpa. It's not easy, but at least we have answers to questions a lot of people never get.
