Weddings

Image
My niece, Hannah, was married on Monday in the Provo City Library.  She had asked Wes to officiate. He did okay. He remembered both of their names, which was my goal for him.  When doing the pictures, she asked for one with the aunts. We love this girl. She has had a very difficult life but continues to find joy.  I also got to hang out with this sweet thing.  I think she will be a ginger yet.  It was fun to hang with my family.  I wish them the joy and love and happiness.  As for the other wedding. Well, Wes had to work Friday morning, so we missed the noon temple sealing. Traffic was extremely slow, so we just made it to the reception.  Highlights:   A big hug from David A big smile from Rob Fun visits with family Family is everything.... Pumpkin pie makes me happy...

When I walked in, it hit me like a freight train that this concencrated building was full of the Spirit of God.  The program was beautiful.

Extremely powerful.  We spent the rest of the day making visits.  First to Junior, who used to be in our ward. He had some health issues and is in assisted living near his family. He was very happy to see us.  Next to Wes's oldest brother Mike. A lovely visit with he and his wife and last, the Luthers, who used to live across the...

Utah in the Fall

We went to Utah for a wedding on Friday and another on Monday. We spent Saturday in the Manti area. We took a drive up the canyon near Ephiram.  We did go for a hike. To walk through this a little walk through Heaven.  There were signs of a storm coming, but we had pockets of sun.  The yellows are truly stunning. And there is a little red here and there. It really was a beautiful day.  We started at the Manti Temple. In my quest to visit all of the Pioneer temples, this on was pretty amazing.  As was this flower. The new temple in Ephiram is a beauty. Looks almost ready to open.  All in all a beautiful day.  Change can be good ... Oh how beautiful Fall can be...
