A weekend of weddings!

Well, this past weekend was full of good ole weddings, and we will keep celebrating through this next week with a trip to Gilbert, Arizona.

Dy's sister was married on Friday, May 2, in the Jordan River Temple. After Michelle graduated with her Master's on Thursday, she decided to celebrate by getting married. Not a bad celebration. Since Dy's brother flew in and needed to do some shopping for the close that didn't quite make the flight, we ended up giving them a ride to Orem and spent the night there. Michelle was determined to have the reception in her parents back yard, regardless of temperature. It was a little cool but the sun came out (Brett's head can attest to that) and it really turned out great. By the time the reception was done we were exhausted and didn't even bother driving back to our home, even if that meant spending night #2 sleeping in the bunk beds.
That wasn't the end of our weekend of weddings. On Saturday we traveled up to Logan with Nettie and Aubrey for A. Lawlor's wedding (Dy's old roomate). We had some time to kill between the ceremony and the luncheon so we decided to visit Gosner's Foods. After we each ate a pound of the sample cheeses, we sat at a bench and enjoyed some ice cream, cheese curds, and root beer milk (and yes, it actually is milk).

We enjoyed attending two temple wedding ceremonies on back to back days, the first since we were married. It was great to reflect on those special promises and covenants we made just over five months ago. It was a busy, but great, weekend.

Our intentions were to get some pictures from Andrew and Michelle's wedding day, but we haven't been able to track any down. For those reading this with some pics you promised to send us, we are still waiting...and waiting.

Yay for a new post! It was a great weekend wasn't it? I LOVED being with my family so much that I didn't want the festivities to end =)

PS. . . you know where I live. Come get the pictures. Actually I didn't take any with my camera but Aubs and Tina have the pictures and I will have them residing on my computer.

I think the best thing was that you guys spent the night in Orem so that we could keep the party rolling morning and night! Thanks for sacrificing sleep and comfort for spending time with the family!
