WHEW!

Well, we did it, we got married. It was a very beautiful day and I was so thankful that it was a nice sunny but windy day. I was very surprised at how many people showed up to show us their love and support to us at the Temple for our marriage ceremony and for the sealing of Steven and Shawn to us for all time and eternity.

I could not look at any of my friends that were so supportive and helpful to make my day special as I would have started crying and would not have been able to stop. Kim, Laurie, Karen, Tami, Regina, Mitzi, Paloma, Lisa and Kim K., are the most wonderful women in my life. They planned every little detail and carried it out to make it run so smoothly. If I have forgotten anyone please forgive me as I was overwhelmed and still am at the love you showed for me and Ron that day as well as the days that proceeded the wedding. Kelly made a lovely cake for the reception that looked like a professional cake decorator made it, but she did it out of love for us and because she likes to do that sort of thing. My friend Ann and her husband Glenn for saying the prayer at the Ring ceremony and the Bishop for over seeing the ceremony. A special thanks to Debra and Dave for the use of their beautiful farmhouse for the reception and to Chris and Bonnie for doing a wonderful job on the landscaping, flowers and cleaning up of the farmhouse for the wedding. It would not have turned out as beautiful as it did with out all of you.

My cousin Vanessa sang so beautifully at the ring ceremony that their wasn't to many dry eyes in the place. I was so overjoyed that Vanessa's mother and my Aunt Daughn and my cousins Mindy and Gary came, as well as my mother, oldest brother Jim, his wife Bonnie, my niece Jessica and her mother Michelle and my two college roommates Lisa and Elisa.

The boys looked so handsome in their tuxedos that I couldn't help but cry a little. Ron was very handsome as well and I have never seen him smile so much in my life. The reception was amazing as I was shocked and overjoyed to see so many of my friends come that I have not seen in a long time as well as all my co-workers showed up. We are still receiving gifts that Ron is awed by how many people love us. As my friend Susan said to us on Saturday night it was the wedding of the century that a lot of people have been waiting for, for a long time (she wasn't kidding).

Thank you again to all my friends that donated their time, food and all around love and support to us YOU are all amazing and we love all you to bits.
