For my Grandma...

My sweet Grandma Idaho (Perkins) passed away yesterday. I just feel like I need to do a tribute to her. She was seriously amazing. I can still hear her say... Now Kim I do not like you talking on the phone while you are driving... lol. I heard that ALOT!!! We used to talk on the phone all the time (usually when I was driving :) ) I would tell her everything... and she always was so excited for me to call and hear my stories. i would get lectures every now and then... I loved them. She was just so sweet. She loved Addison and would always ask... how's our baby boots doin? (Baby boots?!?! LOL) She always loved hearing stories about Addison and then would tell the rest of the family. Growing up I used to love to go spend a week up in Idaho with her. She would make matching outfits for my cousin and me. She was just always so happy. We used to go up to idaho to surprise them... we would leave just in time so we would get there right before their church got out so we could surprise them when they came home. You could tell by talking to her, or even watching her, that she loved the gospel. I always knew she had a testimony and she was always so willing to serve in the church, and loved all the callings she had. I look up to her so much. She loved her family and always put them first. I am so lucky to have a grandma like her... (in fact... both of my grandmas were amazing women. You actually should all be jealous of how great my grandmas were. :) ) I always knew she was just a phone call away. So to my grandma... I will miss you so much, I will miss our talks, I will miss your hugs and your laugh. Please watch over me, give my Grandma Butterfield and Grandma Rose a big hug for me, I know you are in a better place and I know that I will get to see and talk to you again. I love you so much and am so glad you are my grandma. Thanks for every thing you have done for me... Love you... Bubbles (yes I know its a weird nick name but thats what she called me :) )
