We then traveled to Gainesville on the Saturday after Thanksgiving to have a stone crab dinner with my grandfather and family. Since I wasn't with my family on Thanksgiving, it was really special to have this dinner at Papa's house. I didn't realize that this would be the last time I would spend with my sweet grandfather. He took us all for a shock and passed away on December 17th, right before we were going to be re-united for Christmas. He was a fighter and will always be remembered as such. I have an empty void in my heart now that he is gone, but realize how fortunate we were to have some quiet special time with him at Thanksgiving.
So, December 2011 was a whirlwind. My family pulled together his funeral three days before Christmas and the break went by in the blink of an eye. We said goodbye to 2011 and welcome all good things in 2012 (there is so much to look forward to!)
Flashback to early December- I moved into a new home, where Kevin and I will live once we are married. It is about a block away from where I used to live, so the move was quite easy. I am getting it organized and decorated before we move in together- and the space has really come in handy with all the wedding paraphernalia!
Some photos of the place before I moved in:

Love to all,
