We took a really quick trip up to Utah this weekend to witness the wedding of my dad to Debbie in the Mt. Timpanogas temple on 8/08/08. It was a little bittersweet for me remembering my mom especially but the spirit was very strong in the temple and I was reminded of the importance of the temple and sealings and very much felt at peace. But I am very happy for my dad and looking forward to getting to know Debbie even more (from what we can already tell - she is going to fit in great in the family). 
It was also great to have the chance to visit with my brothers (all of them except for Kevin who is on his mission) and quite a few of my aunts, uncles, cousins and of course my grandparents. There was a nice low key barbecue after the wedding at one of Debbie's sisters house with fabulous food and a playground for the kids to play on. Ellie loved it - especially since there were lots of uncles and cousins to help her out. And one of my best friend's from when I first moved to Arizona Jen even stopped by to see me so that was fun too - even though we really didn't get a long visit since there was so much going on!
