A Party! A Celebration! A Wedding!!
I spent the past 4 weeks in UT, enjoying the company of my dear family. My youngest brother, Ty was married in the SLC temple on Friday, August 1st, to an amazing woman, Connie. It was great to be around for a wedding shower (the picture below), and a small celebration in Logan where Ty wowed us on his marimba and played a light, beautiful arrangement of "That's All" on the vibraphone for Connie. The temple sealing created such a tender and optimistic view of marriage, it was amazing to be in attendance. The day ended with a fun outdoor reception that night.
Connie is beautiful inside and out. Here she is holding my niece, Kira.
During our UT stay (Mike made it out to UT for 2 weeks), when weren't partying with Connie & Ty, we visited Mike's parents in Nibley and splashed in the kiddie pool that Carol bought the kids, hung out with Mike's sister Kirsten whom I love dearly, slept at my parents home, jumped on their tramp, stayed up way too late enjoying their company and conversation, chatted with a dear high school friend, Layne, into the almost wee hours of the morning, drove to American Fork to be with my sister, Jess,--so fun for children and adults alike--, stopped in Salt Lake and had lunch with my bosom friend, Sharon and her delightful family, spent a night with my grandparents in Price, ate all the ice cream in their house and hugged a whole lot, and finally, savored a few blissful days at our cabin in central UT. The weeks went by too fast and I find myself, once again, alone and lonely in Minnesota (it's not THAT bad, it just sounded good, typing that out :)I miss you, my loved ones.
Ty & Connie, you have a rich life ahead of you.
You are both so good and talented.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful wedding experience with me.
To my parents, siblings, in-laws and friends; thank you for making me feel wanted. You treat me and my kids so well, I feel like we could stay 2 years and you'd never tire of us. Well, maybe 2 years might be pushin' it.....
I miss you much while I'm far away.
It was a great month.

Molly,
An existence without you is certainly cold and lonely. We loved having you stop by. Thank you for the lovely pictures of the wedding. You and yours brighten up the whole state when you come.
Molly- Your hair is adorable! :)
That sounds like the perfect trip! I'm glad that you got to come for all the festivities...I'm just sad I didn't get to visit with you. Too bad I don't live in UT. Your family picture was BEAUTIFUL! How is Laurs doing? Did she get moved?
You make me jealous of your time in Utah!
I am so glad you got to go home and enjoy yourself. I also was gone for 2 1/2 weeks in Arizona visiting my sister and southern California visiting all the family I could. Even though we make great friends where we live (so far away) it is still so refreshing to be with family!!!
