Jace's Funeral

Jace's funeral was today. I was nervous going, i didn't really know what to expect. I got up early and got dressed and tried to look as good as you can when your going to funeral. Sarah and I met our aunt and uncle there around nine to save seats for the rest of our family. I am so glad that we went early and not just because of the seats. I got to catch up with a few people who i really enjoy talking too. It was nice to be able to express my gratitude for Jace being a part of my life to other people. The service itself was amazing. I could not imagine a better service. Funny and Spiritual stories were shared from Jace's life, his testimony was shared by Kevin and Elder Cook from the Quorum of the twelve apostles spoke on a number of things but also blessed everyone who was in attendance and the valley. The meeting was so strong and spiritual, i have no doubt in my mind that Jace was not pleased with his funeral, probably so pleased that once we get to heaven he will make fun of all of ours because we didn't have an apostle speak at ours. Okay well at least he will do that to me. I am really going to miss Jace and so will everyone else who knew him,  but i truly know he is doing the Lords work and that he served his time here on earth. I am so excited for the day that i get to be with him again and we can once again make fun of each other and council one another on the little things we always have. Jace was and is a great friend and he will always have a special place in my heart. Jace really did affect my life in more ways than he will ever know.

An Amazing Saturday Night

So Saturday night I got to spend some time with a few old friends. It was seriously so much fun, i wish i had more pictures but i'm pretty luck that i even got this one. The night started off with me picking up Sarany just like the old days, and then it got better as we were leaving her house and honestly couldn't get very far because of a huge river that took over the road. It had been raining quite a bit Saturday but in a matter of minutes a river formed and we weren't able to pass. We laughed so hard as we just sat and stared at this huge river and tried to figure out what we should do. We decided we would try the back way out which is a dirt road. It didn't take us very long to figure out that the back road was destroyed by the rain as well. Then Sarany decides we can just go get her dads truck and take it. So we head back to her house, get the keys and stomp through a ton of mud to the truck. The truck was stuck and we couldn't back out of the yard. Instead we just spun the tires down into the mud for awhile. After laughing about the mud forever we made our way back to the car and decided to just see if the river had disappeared yet. So we drove back to the river and sat and looked at it for awhile contemplating whether or not we should try to cross. After quite a long time i decided my car should probably just die anyways and i drove into the river. Ha Ha it was like driving through a puddle. We had no reason to worry the entire time. We laughed for so long afterward and drove on to Brett's house. We spent the rest of the night with Jeff, Spencer, Brett, Amanda, Lexi, Carlie, and her Fiance Josh. It was a lot of fun. We reminisced and watched old high school videos.  

Jace

Saturday night as i was driving Sarah to the Bellagio Sarah called my mom and instantly started asking what was wrong, my heart sank as tears filled Sarah's eyes. I was on the phone with Kaden when i imagined Lilo must have got ran over, (Sarahs dog) but as the words left her mouth i let out a scream i instantly understood what she was telling but i am not quite sure how well i was able to grasp what it meant. Jace Davis past away last night. How could that be true he is on his mission. Missionaries don't just pass away they are protected. My emotions have gotten the better of me for the past few days. I can't have any normal thought with out it finding its way to Jace. I know this will pass and this process of grieving is necessary but i do wish i could be happy for him and excited for the amazing mission he must be serving with our father in heaven. My thoughts and prayers have been with his amazing family and will continue to be for quite a while if not forever. His family has been through so much in just the past couple of months it breaks my heart to imagine this being added to it. Shawna Jesson pointed out though that have been through the refiners fire. They have been being prepared. I hope Jace's parents can find comfort at this time in knowing what an amazing son they raised. Jace always had such enthusiasm for life. He did everything with his full heart. I have been reflecting back on a lot moments i shared with him and i wish now that i would have taken more care to preserve them than i have. I have known Jace since the first week that my family moved to Logandale. I met him at church my first Sunday there and he honestly was probably the first boy to ever tell me i was hot. Haha i remember him adding me to msn and messaging me and saying hey you were the hot new girl at church right. Jace always had a way with the ladies :). I am sure he proposed to half our graduating class at least. Even though it was all fun and games he did have a way of making everyone feel special. Our senior year of high school we spent a good majority of our time together. We were both very into getting the year book just right and bossing around all the new year book kids. We had some days that we would just sit in the computer lab talking about life and our small problems that then seemed to be so big. I think Jace made sure i knew that i was beautiful everyday and that conley or joe were stupid for not being in love with me. I made sure that Jace knew the same thing about the girls he liked too. I have so many thoughts running through my mind of the things we did and how much he made me laugh. I hope that he knew what an influence he was on my life and how much he did to help me. Jace was one person who always stayed my friend no matter what, i haven't had very many of those people in my life but i am so grateful that i had him.
