Sad News

We found out this last saturday while in TN that Pete's dad Steve just passed away from cancer. We found out Thanksgiving that his dad had tumors in his small intestine and then bout 2 weeks ago we found out it was cancerous and that the tumors had spread through to his brain too. It was very surprising to us and happened a lot quicker than anyone had anticipated. But luckily we know his dad is happy now on the other side and that he did not have to suffer through the treatments of radiation for the next few months. His mom is keeping busy and doing well as well as pete and his sibilings. We will be leaving tom. night to leave to sacramento and the funeral will be the 28th and then we will make a 12 hr drive to st. george UT. and up to a burial site where pete's dad's familiy all got buried. We will then go up on the 31st for the burial in the afternoon then go up to SLC for new years and hang out with friends and family for a few days then we drive back to sacramento and fly out the 4th! It is definitely a much busier Christmas than we were planning.. but what more could we ask for for Christmas than to be with our family and the ones we love!!! Merry Christmas everyone!!
