I Can Hear the Bells

Yesterday we enjoyed the festivities surrounding the wedding of Jon's sister Ericka and her husband, Wes. It's always a time to reflect on marriage in general and look back on how things have changed since I got married...what my expectations were then compared to the reality my life has become. We watched our wedding video tonight since we were in a sentimental mood. Boy did it seem like a long time ago! Old VHS tape and weird corny music!

Anyway, back to the current nuptials! What a great event! Friday night was a dinner at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building up on the 9th floor with gorgeous view of the temple. The next morning the ceremony was at 11. Ericka looked stunning! They were both super happy, along with their parents. That night was the reception held at the amazing home of a family friend. Her yard backs the hillside behind the avenues. The food was delish and the atmosphere perfect. They had lovely music and an incredible video. It was so enjoyable. Fun to see lots of family and friends.

Paige and Haily had fancy dresses on and I kept them in tact until after pictures, then they were chocolate stained and torn from jumping on the tramp. What can ya do? Charlie looked adorable in his tux.

We were exhausted by the end of the day and the kids even more so! Had a good nights sleep that night! Here are some photos!


At the Joseph Smith Memorial Building for the dinner. And on Temple Square.

Joc and Chad. She is having a baby tomorrow! Doesn't she look fabulous! What a trooper!Paige took my camera and got a lot of shots. I deleted the ones of the lights, trees, bees, grass,etc. I think Ericka and Wes had both had enough with cameras by the end of the night.

    PS...Are you doing the Logan marathon? Did you decide?
