January Wedding in Salt Lake

We enjoyed a quick trip to Salt Lake for Matt and Tori's wedding at the beginning of January. We got back from our 10 day, Christmas trip to Olympia on Sunday, and left for Salt Lake on Wednesday. It was a little bit of a tornado, and probably would have been easier to leave the kids in Olympia with my parents, but we didn't want them to miss out on seeing Grandma Andrea and Papa Tom back from Hungary. It was such a treat for the kids (and us) to spend time with their grandparents.

Seeing Matt and Tori in the sealing room in the Salt Lake Temple, made all the craziness of the trip worth it. What a fantastic girl Matt found. They just glowed together the entire day. I'm so thankful we were there.

I just love this picture! Matt's wedding is one of the many beautiful blessings of having parents serving in the mission field.

No snow, but very cold. Amelia lost it after this picture and cried all the way back to the hotel room saying, "go home, go home" over and over again.

Back at our hotel you can still see the tears in Amelia's eyes from her melt down.

A little happier playing with my bouquet at the reception.

Our last night we spent with Chelsea and Spencer (thanks a million for the room and car). Carson, Jenna and Court came and visited us in the morning before Chelsea drove us to the airport.

Thumbs up to Court for reading Russell's Star Wars encyclopedia for at least 45 minutes.
