Last Sunday before we left for Texas I had the opportunity to go and meet Jed's grandparents on his dads side. For all of you who don't know both of Jed's parents come from polygamist family. His parents chose to break off from there Families and convert to Mormonism (I'm so glad that they did!) Both his grandparents still practice polygamy and they don't really talk with them anymore. But once My father-in-laws mother found out that Jed had been married she wanted to meet me! I was so excited to meet her and her husband. We went over to there house, and met Jed's grandma who was sweet and welcoming! The whole family came and had a great time getting caught up. Jed's grandma got to meet me and her new great-grandson, Owen and she got to catch up with the rest of Jed's brothers and sister.
She was so nice just like any grandma! I"m glad I had the opportunity to meet her, after we talked we asked if she could give us a tour of their house! We got to see some of the other apartments were the other wives live and we got to see there stage, Jed's grandpas library and were they worship. It was Great, I know that there is a lot of controversy about polygamy, I'm not saying that I agree with it, but I know that they are nice normal people who just believe in a different point of view. Jed's grandpa had some amazing books and works of art that were very rare! I'm so glad I got to meet them and hope that we get to see them more often!
