My nephew, Josh, got married on Saturday in the Manti Temple. It was great, of course. Josh is a character and always has been. I tended him a lot when he was little. He could make me CRAZY one minute and want to hug him and never let him go the next! All I could say to his wonderful bride when I hugged her after the ceremony was "take good care of my Josh". Then I was too emotional to say anything else. I had to take my time back to my shoes so I could get a hold of myself. The funny thing is that I grabbed a Kleenex for my Mom as I walked into the sealing room. I didn't think I would need one too!
These are my handsome nephews. They are great guys. They are hardworking, smart, kind and fun to be around. Tyler and Whitney got engaged on New Years Day. They are getting married in Manti around the end of April. Derek will graduate from High School this spring. How did they grow up so quick? I am very proud of who they have become. I have always admired Chris and William (FYI: Will is a tease and gives Ali fits! It's great!). They have done a great job raising their boys. And their boys have done a fine job of choosing their girls. Both Kiley and Whitney are AMAZING!
I love the Manti Temple. Josh and Kiley were the ONLY wedding that day. It was very quiet there with very little hustle and bustle. Getting there is easy, parking is easy and we saw two bald eagles on the way home. Plus, check out the view from the Temple!

My handsome Dad shaved his mustache of 42 years last Sunday. The reason... He and my Mom are serving a mission this summer. They needed to submit their papers with a picture. He didn't want a mustache to hold up the process. He looks great!
Josh and Kiley are good sports! Ali had the classroom Curious George for the weekend. The assignment is to document what George did while he was with you. Last time we had him, he went skiing. This time, he went to Grandma's and Grandpa's and to a wedding. Ali loves George so much, that she got her own for Christmas. So, actually, both Georges went to the wedding. Josh and Kiley took time to pose with them while a long line of people waited and watched. What great people!

Wow. Curious George is doing some cool things. Your Dad looks like a missionary already and I hear Nigeria needs some senior couples . . . (but we are going to need some soon in Atlanta too, our temple is opening back up!).
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the mission - I am sure Nauvoo will be happy for some teamsters! That mustache might be needed though!
