The Big Date and Double Dating

Abby and Rory have set the date! They will be married 09/09/09 in the Logan Temple and then have a reception in Woodruff that night followed by a reception in Seattle that weekend. Yeah......for the road trip we will get to take. I think Brian and I will take a few days after the reception in Seattle and have a little honeymoon of our own :)

This past month Brian and I have been able to go on double dates with both of our sons and their girls. I have to admit that I have had a blast. (I don't know if Rory and Kade enjoyed it quite as much as me......but hey....what can I say!!!) Kade has been dating a cute girl named Baylee from Enterprise. He hooked up with her through one of his friends on Enterprises' football team last year. They have been talking and texting on the phone for over a year now. They seem to have really hit it off and she is thrilled that he is going on a mission too. (Every mother's dream girl huh?) We went to a movie and dinner with them.

Yesterday, we went to Logan and met Rory and Abby. We were able to go with them to meet with the photographer they are having for their wedding. I am thrilled with their choice. I think he will do an awesome job. Then we went to dinner at The Olive Garden. It was fun to just sit and talk and eat. They also got us tickets to go watch the Utah State basketball team play Cal State Bakersfield. It was a fun day and I enjoyed spending more time with Abby and getting to know her better. I don't think I could have picked a better daughter in law if I would have been able to pick her myself and the best part is that she makes my son very very happy :)

Celebrating over 200,000

My mom has been helping with extraction work for the church for a couple of years now. She keeps track of how many names she does each day. Recently she passed the 200,000 name mark and we decided to celebrate. We all met in Evanston and had dinner together as a family. It was fun and hopefully she knew how proud all of her family is of her for her dedication to the work.
