...still sad

So the funeral for my Opa was this morning. And the disappointing part is, my mom got home from the cottage yesterday around 5pm and there was a message for her from some relatives saying the funeral was at 9am (Austrian time) today and that we are welcome to stay with them. Given the short notice, even if we had wanted to go, there would have been not enough time to fly to Austria. Which is too bad. Turns out Opa passed away on Saturday morning, but we didn’t find out until Sunday night since we were at the cottage. I mean, we probably all wouldn’t have been able to go, but we could have all chipped in to send my dad. But, there just wasn’t enough time to sort it out. Which is too bad. I just feel really sad about the whole situation.

The dinner party last night went really well. The food was awesome (a group effort on the cooking) and I think everyone had a good time. That was the first time I’d had that many people over for dinner though, there were 10 of us in total for dinner, and then an additional 2 for dessert. It gave us some motivation to clean the house though, so it looks really good right now!

This evening, the Pastor is coming over so we can finalize the wedding program and any other details. It will be nice to get the programs done so we can print them out, one more thing to check off the list!
