It has been a few weeks since the wedding and I am still humbled and grateful for the wonderful experience. Going to the temple with family and witnessing the sealing ceremony of our daughter and new son-in-law is something that I have always wanted. I am grateful for all the many family members, neighbors, and friends who took time out of their busy schedules to be with us during the wedding, reception, and open house. We are truly blessed and look forward to the future. 
We went to Casper, Wyoming for Jon and Kristen's wedding open house on January 9, 2010. They shared their evening with Sara and William who also were married during the holidays. Sara is Jon's sister. They were married on Dec 26th in the Logan Temple.
It was a beautiful evening held in the cultural hall where Sharon and Dave Zabriskie attend church. So many friends and family were able to attend. Cinda (Nathan's sister) and Chuck also came over from Lander. It's always so nice to get together. Especially for special occasions as this. We feel so blessed for the family Kristen is now apart of. They are wonderful people full of love and compassion. We are excited for the years to come as we get to know each other even better.
Kristen and Jon will be living in Casper while Kristen finishes school at Casper College. They both plan on attending Utah State in the Fall. We are grateful to Jon's parents for letting the newlyweds live in their home until they move to Logan. And now.....here they go.........starting a new life. Mom, let go.
The hardest part was saying goodbye, but we know we'll make an effort to get together again soon.
Here are some pictures from the Utah reception. Rachel Rehart did such a fantastic job. She was a kick and never stopped clicking her camera. The above collage is just a few pictures she has shared with us. We loved the Northampton Inn. Everyone there was so helpful and made the evening so enjoyable. Thank you Crystal, our wedding planner and to Natalie for decorating the cake.
