Betty Dittmar

Last night my granny passed away due to a stroke, it was extremely sudden and very unexpected. I love her very much and will miss her. Here are some pictures I have of her.

This is Granny in front of the Montecello Utah temple

Here is granny and I at the arches here in utah when mom and I were driving her to meet Cindy in albequerque and then there is one of mommy, granny, and I that an indian woman took for us. she bought a necklace from them that day.

Here is another one of her in froont of the temple from that same drive.


Granny isnt in this one but it has pictures of the dresses she used to make us when we were little. (this is a calender page that mommy made)

Here she is at mommy and Daddys wedding reception.

These are pictures from when we were little girls the first one is her with annie and jay. the second one I have no clue which baby that is. The last one you can see her in the reflection of the mirror.

I am already going crazy because I will be working full time while still trying to pack and get the apartment ready for us to go!! But I am excited I wasn't expecting it to be this quick we requested an apartment in our same ward which we had been told would make it a longer wait. but when we went in yesterday to put our name on the waiting list they said they had 2 apartments avalible in the building we wanted so we got to choose which one we wanted and we will move in on the 19th!

working out...

tonight dallin and I went to the u of u's student gym. It is so annoying to work out with my husband, he is so skinny. but when we are working out on machines that are next to each other I cant help but look over and see how many calories he is burning compared to the amount I am burning! he was always like 50 calories above me. needless to say it was annoying and I may have to work out by myself from now on!

The Viewing

Last night was the first viewing for grandma stephens being there last night you could see what a loved woman she was. She touched so many lives through her service in the church and the community. She was beautiful loving and she had a gift of never complaining about anything that came her way. I love her so much and will miss her greatly in the coming years. even though she was very sick all the time I knew her I learned so much from her. about just being happy with what god gives you. she loved all of her grandchildren so much and we all loved her. it was comforting in the end to know that her husband was there with her even though he had passed on a year before he was by her side, along with my father in law, and all of the other members of her family who had passed on before. last night she looked more at peace than i have ever seen her and I didn't feel anxious to be there like I thought I would I felt surprisingly peaceful to see all of the pain gone from her face and to know that she is now at peace.

Allis Stephens

Yesterday the world lost an amazing woman. My husbands grandmother Allis Stephens passed away. In the end she was ready to return home to her eternal companion and her heavenly father. She lived a good life she was loved by all who knew her and she will be missed. I am proud to call her my Grandma Stephens.
