Wedding Weekend.

This is going to be a long one. Hope you are comfy. 
We traveled to Iowa to be with Garran's family while Uncle Sam and Ashley got married. 
When we all get together it is no small feat. 
We had roughly 30 people in my in-laws house, the majority being kids. 
Surprisingly things went pretty smoothly for the most part. 
So here they are at their reception. 
The Happy Couple!!
Sam and Ashley
(they did a reverse reception and had it on Friday and got married Saturday!)
they are so cute and so fun together.
sam loves star wars, so Ashley made these for the two of them. Aren't they cute?
It was a pretty laid back reception. It was decorated very nicely and was by the river. It was fun to catch up with old Iowa friends and visit with everyone. 
My favorite part was watching all the cousins interact. They don't get to see each other that often so it is fun to watch them all play together. 
So here goes a ton of pictures of all the kids!!

Everyone was so excited. 
It even rained...
which i hear is good luck. 
I did not get as many pictures as I would have liked due to weather and having kids running around. 
But I still got a few cute ones.
 Uncle Dennis and Haley. 
I am not sure what is going on, but I love this picture.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
