Weddings and a Celebrity Siting!

This week we had some great people get hitched together for time and all eternity.  Friday night we went to a reception in Sandy for one of Darrell's friends from college.  Congratulation to Cassie and Collin.  While we were there, the unpredictable Utah weather hit, and left the crowd staring into the parking lot as golden sunbeams lit up a flash flood type rain storm.  It was beautiful as was the reception and the glowing couple. 

Saturday was an even bigger day for weddings.  Jeff Parker, who is buddies with Darrell from their trip to eastern Europe, sealed the deal with his wife Kailey in the Salt Lake Temple.  We were privileged enough to
be invited to the sealing at 8:20 in the morning.  The couple was ecstatic as they made their commitments to one another and the Lord and were glowing in the fresh morning light. 

BAM!!!!! YOU DID IT BOY!  CONGRATS ON GETTING IT DONE!!!!!

For any one who was outside yesterday in the Wasatch Front area of Utah, you know how beautiful of a day it was for a wedding.  So too did the Temple Square grounds crew.  I think that's why they wanted to rip up all of the spring flowers out side the temple so all the pictures would have that touch of brown that every bride wants. 

I don't think that really bothered Jeff and Kailey.  Lets have one more look shall we. 

The day was not over from there, after was their luncheon followed by a reception later that evening.  Our plan was to stick around the SLC area run some errands for mothers day then go on a hike or something like that.  But after one of our stops took us all the way back to Sandy we decided to just continue the rest of the way back to Orem for some much needed rest, only to drive back up to Kaysville for the reception.  It felt like a lot of unnecessary driving.  But never ever underestimate the value of a good nap.  #wellworthit

Back to the Reception!

So, this is getting sort of wordy for a quick congratulations to our friends but we've got to tell you who we saw at the reception.  Al Gore!!!!

Ok so maybe it's not really Al Gore but it definitely is Jeff's dad, David.   But I made you look twice didn't I.  Especially when you compare it to this picture. 

Anyway, Jeff and Kailey drove off in the sunset to begin their new life and we left the reception with one of the Corn Hole boards that was provided for guest to play with.  He he, I want to yell THROW IT IN YOUR CORN HOLE whenever I play that game.  Kaela gives me funny looks when I do. 

Other than weddings this week, we are getting our preps ready for hiking the Subway and Narrow next week with the Jorgensens.  More on this later.

Leaving you with pictures of us.  Have a good week!!!
