After 2 1/2 months of anticipation, the much hearalded wedding of our son Jim (aka James), and Amanda McCullom came off without a hitch (well almost) on July 30, 2011. A wonderful reception was held the night before. It was a pleasure to meet Amanda's family who came from Utah, Idaho, West Virginia and other parts of the country for the occasion. Saturday morning dawned cloudy and misty. We all prayed really hard that the sun would be shinning by the time we came out of the temple where they were married (Mt. Timp. in American Fork, UT). The sun gods smiled upon us and it was a beautiful day by the time Jim and Mandy came out. Pictures were taken and lunch was had as we waved good bye to the happy couple.
In the midst of all the wedding fun, son Andrew and his wife Kate and our darling grandaughter Eden (who also lived in Provo) were packing up to move to Texas. Andrew has a job teaching high school physics in Denison, TX. Several hours after the wedding ceremony was over, they left for Bedford, TX where they are staying with Kate's parents until they can find their own place.
As this blog goes to press, we are anxiously anticipating the birth of son Matthew and daughter in law Sarah's first child. Their little girl is due around the 13th of September. They live in Phillipsburg, Kansas where Matthew now works for Boy Scouts. We are looking forward to a trip there after the baby is born.
Our Becky is now living in Knoxville, TN with a friend after spending 2 months this summer as a nanny for our good friends the Ellis's in Ogden, Utah. Timing was great in this respect as she was there for Jim and Mandy's wedding. Hopefully she will be able to find work in Knoxville! We miss her very much!
