THE HAPPY NEWLYWEDS

Congratulations to newlyweds Dustin and Sarai (pronounced Sari) on their wedding yesterday on a beautiful fall day in Salt Lake City temple.  They are sooooooo much in love - everyone is so happy for them.  She and her three siblings look like quadruplets - there was no mistaking any of them.  Her parents are from Moses Lake WA where dad spent a lot of time when he worked for Boeing.  That airport has the longest runway in the USA and dad used to fly on aircraft missions analysing their data systems.  I suppose that's why his title at Boeing was Systems Analyst, ha!  I found the conference center underground parking alright, but took the wrong elevator going down and it took me 45 minutes to find my car.  It's a good thing it wasn't dark at that time or I would have really been spooked!!  I didn't stay last night for the reception and I'm glad I didn't or it would have been very late driving home in dark.



Lance and family put on a huge barbecue feast on Friday night (Eric and Brett slow roasted the beef, port and turkey nearly 12 hours) and there was none left when it was all over.  There were about 130 people there as both of them have many many friends and I'm sure the crowd last night would have been large also.  I had driven down to Kate's Friday afternoon and then when Bob came home from Ceder City we drove to South Jordan for the fun evening.  Lance was in his element (our parents would have been so proud of his singing with Brett and his dry wit throughout the evening.)  Dustin took a lot of ribbing for waiting so long to marry, but when all the Stones family got up to pay tribute they were all thrilled that he did so Sarai could find him.  What a darling couple they are.

 

On Wednesday I had five inches of snowfall that was so heavy I thought all the poor tree branches would break with the weight of it.  It was the great type of snow I grew up with.  Especially good for building huge snowmen and I had no grandchildren here to build one or make snow angels, or build forts and snowballs for throwing at each other.  Boo, hoo, hoo!   I finished the quilt for Dustin and Sarai just in time, finished the scrapbook and some other things on my list before I head south.  The lollipops are ready for Wednesday and the weather is supposed to me quite mild for those little goblins.
