Friday Char called saying they decided they could come to Gregg's
wedding reception & if they could stay with us. They arrived Friday
evening around 5:30 p.m. so we got to spend some time with them
catching up & visiting friday evening & saturday. We all went to the
temple for the sealing which was at 11:15 a.m. We ran into our former friends & Stake President Bill & LuAnn Monahan. Their son Wesley was getting married
the same day. So there we were in the Chapel with their family group
and another family group. We saw all their kids grown up now & get
this, Amber gave me a compliment saying I didn't look a day older than
when she last saw me!!!! How many years has that been now?? Twelve!
She got big-time brownie points & made my day of course!! Also ran
into our Primary President & Kelly ran into former Bishop Steve
Smith who lost his wife at a young age to colon cancer. He's met
someone & remarried now. Someone he knew from working with in the
church who's husband died suddenly at a rather young age. He's the
Bishop of a singles ward now & really enjoys it, says it's much easier
to handle than a full ward. Great to visit with him.
The sealings are of course always so special & a reminder of our
wedding days & the special promises & blessings reviewed there. Always
great to be in the temple & see the young family members coming up
being sealed in the Holy Temple.
Caitlin's family was having an only immediate family luncheon at her
Mom's home so the rest of us decided upon having a get together luncheon
at Sweet Tomatoes on Southern, It was kinda on the way home. Good visiting had by all.
The reception hall was beautifully decorated with a ceiling of drapped white material & strings of little white lights alternated. Caitlyn's colors were, Gold
Black & Sage green. Randi Cluff made her cake & decorated it with Kiwi
fruit, that was a new for Randi, it was to bring out the Sage green color accent
in her decor.
Kyle Cluff was the M.C. & of course a fun part was he put on some music
and he & Ashley challenged each other to dance their famous "Swing"
together minus the over the top part! They had a fun time & put on a show
for us. Ashley dancing in some white stilettos she was wearing, don't know how she managed that
in those heels, but she did!! They did slow down a bit after awhile saying they
were'nt in quite as good shape as they used to be. Ha! Ha! Emmery had
a hard time understanding what was going on & kept wanting her mommy!!
And of course their were the,now traditional, "banditos" that took the bride hostage! I
think they get a little to trigger happy though, one or two or three shots would
be fine not a dozen. They scare people!!! I always cross my fingers that no-one has a
heart attack or that their isn't an undercover cop in the audience!!!! Who
thinks it's the real thing!!!
Caitlyn & Gregg are going to B.Y.U. after they get back from their honeymoon.
They both applied to B.Y.U. & A.S.U. & she got accepted to B.Y.U. & he got
accepted to A.S.U. So they decided to go to Utah where she's accepted into
their music program & Gregg is going to go to a local college up there until he can transfer to B.Y.U. Between the visiting & my crazy camera I only got two
not to very good pictures. One is of all the cousins present. Great weekend!
