Whirlwind Weekend

We crammed a lot into the 36 hours between noon Friday and midnight on Saturday. We traveled to Provo, visited with Jared and Kristen and kids a few minutes and celebrated Jared's birthday before heading to Ken's 30 year reunion of the Master of Accountancy Program at BYU. We enjoyed renewing old acquaintances there and hearing about the great things happening at BYU. Saturday morning, Kristen, Ken and I traveled to Logan to attend the wedding of W.Conrad and Hailey. (Jared graciously tended children all day so Kristen could go). It was so wonderful to be in Logan at autumn time and to be in the sacred Logan temple that ancestors help build and to have Kristen all to ourselves all day. The wedding was beautiful. They are a beautiful couple. Exciting news was shared that Allison's baby is a girl (along with Jessica's) and that Ami is expecting in April!!!! After pictures, we headed to the Logan cemetery to put pumpkins on my parents' grave. All of my siblings came, too except, of course, Patty and Hal. It was funny, we didn't discuss it as we parted at the cemetery, but we all went from there straight to the Bluebird chocolate store- tradition! We then headed to the wedding luncheon at Maddox. That was so delicious and so nice. The rolls were heavenly. Conrad's performance of "Don't Look Up" from Les Mis, was . . . well, Conraddy. At least it had the distinction, I'm quite sure, of being the only time that's ever been sung at a wedding! On the way into the luncheon, I had a little mishap. I was wearing not good shoes, and my heal caught on the asphalt and down I went- KERSPLAT! I first checked around to see who saw: everybody. Stink! Then I hurt and gracefully (NOT!) got up. Then I hurt some more. I still hurt. My left arm is so sore. Oh well, it could have been worse . . . I think. After the luncheon, the restroom was packed with people changing to head to the BYU game. It seems that Hailey's family are also avid BYU fans. Joan and Tom went with us, and we headed for the game, arriving nearly on time. We had tickets with Ken's fellow alumni, so that was fun . . .except of course, there wasn't much to cheer about. We left in the third quarter since we had a long drive ahead and Ken had to be to a 6am mtg. on Sunday... and we were losing miserably. It was a great weekend; great memories made!
