This past week my uncle Russell (mom's brother) passed away. This meant that I was able to go up to ND to spend a few quick days with my family. Unfortunately, I didn't take many pics but here are the 2 I did take! It's been a long time since the Haugen relatives have been together as most of the cousins are married and we all are spread out in geography. It made me realize how much I miss those family times. There were so many get-togethers growing up and now due to 'life' we just don't get to have those times any more. It was great to hear and share family memories of Russell, the 6 kids (my mom and her siblings), and the variety of perspectives there were on each situation. It was also SO good to hear my dad preach. It's almost been a year since he retired and I didn't realize how much I missed hearing his message. He was able to give the sermon at Russell's funeral. My mom also did an amazing job giving the eulogy!
