It has been an emotional week. We have been to Viewings and Funerals this week along with the regular work and family stuff going on, Emotional roller coaster for sure.
Lets Start with the Viewing. One of my very best friends growing up in the 8th ward and going through elementary school, Jr. high and High School was Stuart Christensen of the Mr. MAC family, he owns and operates the SLC store. His sweetheart wife Betsy Ann Wiscombe-Christensen passed away last week, succumbing to brain cancer after a valiant fight. It is so sad, they are such a great couple, and he is such a great friend. Our hearts go out to him and his dear family. I have known the Wiscombe family for along time too, Debbie, Becky and Peter all from BHS it was great to see them but sorrowful for the reason why. It was good to see some of the old classmates there, some actually working for the funeral home (Mike Faucette) and others like David Ohlson, Benson Alder, Eddie Snow, and Steve Bearnson and their Wives. I was really emotional about this, and shed more than a few tears. I know the Lord has a plan for all of us, but it is very difficult to see His Celestial vision sometimes through our human eyes, I don't have the writing skills to really do her justice in any sort of a tribute but she will always be remembered in our hearts.
We next had a Family Wedding for my Cousin Laurie Dreans' daughter, and got to see some of my Cole Family Cousins! The bride was absolutely beautiful, it was one of the nicest little back yard receptions you ever saw. I love to see my Cousin David Cole, and his family from St. George. Now that I know he lives there he better be ready we are coming to visit and play golf...Congratulations to the new Bride and Groom. For some reason I have started taking pictures of wedding cakes, including this one. here are some samples...
Cool Huh? The others are from the Briggs Wedding and the Welch-Andrus Wedding.
Fourth of July 2011 Part 1.
We are so so blessed to have great Family around us. We started this weekend with Christine's family coming up on Saturday for a nice picnic in the park followed by the famous Eaglewood (NSL City) fireworks show. I am trying to do better taking pictures of things and activities so we have some things to write about. Here are some "action" shots that Christine took of the event it was fun at the park, then a big family pit stop at our house then on to the fire works.....Rachel was working or we would have had the whole team there, we will get her on Monday!!!
Aaron Cole and His Mommy!!!
Yeah Fireworks!!!.
The highlight of the night was trying to drive home, waiting for our turn to get out of the parking lot with the music on and the entire car singing at the top of their lungs for everyone to hear... good times.
Part 2 will be on the Fourth, we will be at our Cousin Kristen Morley's palace for swimming and a BBQ. I will try and take some pictures.
Until next time, I am proud to be an American and have the blessings that come from living in this great country!
