Christine's Wedding

Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend the beautiful wedding ceremony of one of my best college roommies. Christine is beautiful inside and out, so I have always wanted her to find someone as wonderful as she is.

We first got to meet Joey when David and I took time off for Christmas. Driving through Provo on our way back to Seattle, we stopped to have lunch with them. The moment I knew Joey could be the right one for Christine was when I saw them disagree together. They were telling the story of how they met, and they each felt portions of the story were a bit different. Christine has strong opinions she loves to confidently share so I believe she really needs someone who won't just be pushed around. Joey was firm, holding his ground, without being disrespectful or rude in any way. While discussing their differing opinions, Joey said, "No, that's not how it happened, I'm not giving you this one." and I felt Christine had finally found her match. Yep, I thought, this one's a keeper.

I was so excited for her when I got a text with this picture:

I owe a lot to Christine because she was my confidant who encouraged me to keep dating David. The first time she met David, Christine saw what a good match we could be. She told me she really liked this one because he was so sweet, and she wanted someone for me that was as sweet as me and would be sweet back. Christine encouraged me to keep dating David when I would get nervous. I thought it was weird we were both the same major and I didn't want to be one of those girls, so I told Christine I was thinking about breaking up with him and Christine told me that was a stupid reason to break up. She was right.

Here are pictures we took at the wedding:

They've thrown around the thought that maybe when he graduates and they start their careers they could end up in Seattle. We really hope they do.

Neil's friends visit

Our friends from Seattle were in town visiting for a work conference in Park City and they stopped by our home and stayed with us for a day. We loved seeing them and getting to have our boys play together. There was a lot to do at our home-- play with legos, practice baseball, enjoy the chickens, and read together. Hope to have them visit again next time they are here for a work trip or to ski.

Camping

This past weekend our family got to go camping with cousins, and we had a great time. We live in Highland Utah, which is near the American Fork Canyon entrance. We chose to go to the Timpooneke campsites, which is really close to us. We went there a couple times last year. The campsites are really nice. At each campsite is a concrete slab with a fire pit and picnic table, as well as flat ground to place your tent (plus walkable to drinking water, an outhouse, etc.). We went with David's sister's family and the kids loved gathering around the fire, playing games, and exploring together. We even got to take our paddle boards out to Tibble Fork Reservoir. Here are photos from our trip: Campground link: https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/231938

Mariana visits!

When we lived in Seattle, Mariana lived with us and helped us take care of our kids (as our au pair). When we moved to Utah she finished her year with our family and returned to Mexico for college. Mariana was kind and visited us a few months later when she was in the US for a vacation and then just this past weekend she visited our family again when she was in the US. We love seeing her! This time we were in for a special treat because she brought her sister to come see us too. David got to play tour guide for a couple days and took them to Temple Square in Salt Lake, BYU campus in Provo, and the snow in Park City. I asked Mariana what her favorite part was and she said skiing and seeing the boys how they’ve grown. We are so grateful she took time to see us and see our kids. While she was here David and my oldest had a soccer tournament in Mesquite that was also a good experience.
