Idaho. Wyoming. Utah. Colorado. and Kansas.
On September 4th Spencer's brother- in-law, Derek, passed away. Derek was 31 and fought a hard battle with Primary Pulmonary Hypertension. You can read about his condition here:

Derek was an amazing person. He always made people laugh! We miss him so much but are very grateful that we were able to know him and be a part of his life!
With Derek's passing we made a trip to Kansas to be with family and to attend the funeral. We drove all the way there with Ryon, Annie, Tanner, Cedar, Mark, and Kaylene (Annie's parents). It was quite the adventure.
We started on Sunday (6th) morning at about 7 am. Stopped in Ontario to see Kimmie and Kevin. Continued on after the short stop to Utah where we stayed for the night at Scott and Melissa's (thanks guys!). We left from Utah early Monday morning. Made the trek through Wyoming and ended up broke down on the side of the highway. Annie's parents had come up to get their stuff from the house they lived in, in Oregon City and were traveling back with us, in a Budget truck. It broke down and we sat there for 5 hours! Finally we were on our way again and headed for Denver. We arrived at Annie's parents house around 10:30 and then had to wait about another hour and a half for Mark and Kaylene to get there. It was a nice little rest. We left Cedar in Colorado with them and left at 1 am to eat at Denny's and hit the road for Kansas. We drove through the night, switching drivers about every two to three hours, and arrived in Derby at 10:30 am on Tuesday morning.
Did I mention I was car sick the WHOLE entire time and that we all only got about ten hours of sleep in a span of 3 days!
Yes, it was interesting. Quite the ADVENTURE! So grateful that we saved almost 1,000 dollars by driving, in the end that made it all worth it!
I didn't get many pictures on our trip. It was a nice stay though and was wonderful to be with family!
