I LOVE WEDDINGS!

So, I feel as if I have been away for months! But, really it has been only a week! We left last Tuesday for Utah. My oldest sister's (Sandra), youngest child (Brittany) was getting married.
Ken and I have some dear friends in Farmington that we wanted to visit, so we left a few days early, so we could visit them. We also wanted to stop by and see Hunter and Brandon, our grandsons, in Richfield. We had a great time! It was freezing everyday, except on the 28th, the day of the wedding, was actually nice weather (55 degrees, a real heatwave!)
The wedding was beautiful, at the Mt.Timpanogos Temple. Ken and I attended a session before the sealing and it is a very lovely, very roomy temple!
I want to tell you a little about my sister, Sandra. She is the such a dear, kind and loving person. She and her husband Bob, have 8 children. All 8 of them are awesome and so very talented in their own different ways. I love each one of them and enjoyed them when they were younger and now, that they are all older and have families of their own, there is a lot more of them get to know and I love them all, even more! They truly are good, wonderful, people and I pay tribute to my sister for the fantastic Mother she was and is. She has blessed the lives of so many people, because of the outstanding children she raised, they are and will be a blessing in our lives and in our society...thank you, Sandra!
