After the funeral service (held in Chandler, AZ), we hopped in the car to travel to the cemetery (in Safford, AZ) where she would be buried. Troy dedicated the grave, and the kids each placed a flower on the casket. Then we got back in the car to begin the long trip home. We basically drove, cried, drove, cried, drove, cried.
Her obituary:

We did get a chance to see my parents new homestead. They bought 40 acres in northern Arizona, and are building their house. They pretty much live in the middle of nowhere, and they love it. Crazy kids. ;)
In other Bingham Family News: school started. Kids love it. They're basically on vacation when compared to the school system we just came from. Plus, both of the schools work in an hour of homework/tutoring DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. So my kids aren't overloaded with homework. It's pretty sweet.
Troy's job is going well. He's super busy, and he likes that. I've been getting the house set up and decorated and unpacked. I am almost done. Actually, I just finished sanding down a table THAT I BUILT ALL BY MYSELF from leftover scrap wood and mouldings. Now I need to prime and paint that sucker. I'm debating adding an extra shelf on the bottom, but as of now, I am undecided. THE END.
