My little bro is married!

It is crazy how fast life goes by. I can clearly remember the day that Dallin was born. I stayed up late to finish the little afghan that I was making him. Boy it was a great one. :) I looked for a picture from way back then, but wasn't able to find one. He is now all grown up and married! I hadn't met Dana until she walked into the temple for them to be sealed. Right then and there I knew that they were a perfect match. I am so grateful to have her as part of our family.

They were married in the Seattle Temple. I flew up for that, which was an adventure in and of itself. Thank you girls and Darrick for letting me go up and for everything being in such good shape when I returned. It was really fun to see them and to be around family. It was a little strange not having 3 constant sidekicks, but it was a lot of fun and relaxing.
The next weekend they were having a reception in Rexburg. The girls were so sad that they didn't get to go to the wedding and meet Dana, so we decided to head up to the reception. It was so much fun and they just love Dana. They are constantly making her cards and other fun things. Some of the other cousins were there so it was fun to play with all of them. It was so nice of Dana to let the girls try on her tiara. They were so excited and still talk about that. Of course they were in dress up to add to the occasion.
It was so great to see a lot of friends and family that we hadn't seen in a while as well. My grandpa and grandma were able to make it up for the reception. My grandma hasn't been doing that great so it was really neat to see her there. Oaks was pretty beat, but we made it through the night and had a great time.
We had a great time and are so excited for the newly weds. What a cute couple and fun time in life. It was fun to see them and to be there for such a wonderful experience.
