Warning:

If you know me you know I am a wordy person, I always have a story to tell and I want moments fully documented. I want my kids to look back and have all the details, you can think of this site as our family journal, or more importantly the momma diary.

Utah, Day 3, 8/7/10

On our last day in Utah I got up early and went to the Salt Lake Temple with my mom to see one of my best friends, Angie Williams, get married to her sweet heart. I left the camera at home with Brent because him and his parents were going to take Ava to wheeler farm or the mountains. Anyways the sealing was beautiful with such beautiful words of advice. My favorite advice that was given was to hold each others hands. When you are sitting on the couch, walking down the street, etc. This says I love you and to the world it says we love each other. I love that! And how important it is for your children to see this affection between there mom and dad.

After temple pictures, my mom and I ran to the nursing home to see our dear friend Rochelle. What a beautiful, sweet lady. Rochelle is one of a kind, she would do anything for you and has really had it rough this last year.


After our short visit with Rochelle we hurried to Angie's wedding luncheon and ring ceremony. Again lovely. And she was just radiant!

I called Brent on my way home to see where they were at and they hadn't even left yet! I was then frustrated because I could have had my camera all morning. They had gone to my grandparents for a haircut, and then he'd gone birthday shopping with his mom (they got to experience how fun it is to shop with Ava, ha ha), his mom bought him new dress shoes, and his grandma bought him new dress pants. He said they were going to be going to Silver Lake in about a half hour. So I hurried home and changed and we all headed to Silver Lake up Big Cottonwood Canyon.

Beautiful Silver Lake

We then quickly hurried home and changed clothes to head to Angie's wedding reception where we were meeting my whole fam damily! It was crazy, we ran into people there that we didn't know had any connection to her new hubby. I did know that a family, the Goffin's, that had lived in my ward growing up lived in her mom's ward now and that the dad had been her bishop. But as we were going into the reception we ran into one of Brent's best friends growing up, and my ex-boyfriends little brother Logan. Evidently him and Angie's new husband our football watching buddies. Then after going through the line we ran into Mike Smedley another kid who grew up in our neighborhood, went to our church and his dad was our old bishop, him and Johnny are really good buddies. Totally small world.

Anyways on the wedding. Again they were beautiful the reception was beautiful, her family was beautiful as always. She has two of the cutest little sisters, adorable niece, and her mother is sensational. Love her family! I was so happy that I could be a part of her beautiful day as she was my right hand at mine.

The fabulous bride and groom. I want to know if you can guess his nationality, I sure got it wrong. I'd tell you his last name, but that might make it to easy.

After we left the reception we all went to eat at the California Pizza Kitchen, we were just a little on the dressy side.

And then it was back to the North's to spend the night and we were off the next morning. We made good time until we reached the Vegas traffic headed back to LA, not fun, we won't make the mistake of leaving on a Sunday again.
