More from Montana, the second wedding.....


After a week at Mom and Dad Rawlinson's home, preparing for and celebrating Stacey's wedding, it was off to Mom and Dad Wardell's home for another week of fun. We went out to lunch, shopping, jumped on the trampoline, played Wii-fit, rode four-wheelers, and just enjoyed each other's company.

Then, after two great weeks in Montana we were back in the van on our way to Utah for the next wedding. We got to see our dear friend Mary in Rexburg on the way and stay at Tony and Carol's house is Driggs for a night. THANKS! We also stayed at my Grandma and Grandpa Nielsen's house for a couple more days, got to visit our good friends Taylor and Lisa Halverson, and Grandma Allred in Provo. Another highlight was being able to go through the Salt Lake City temple with Stephanie, who went through for the first time, just before she heads out on her mission to California - Spanish speaking. Then, we finished off the last few days of our long trip in a hotel in Orem before driving all the way back to Indiana. Whew!





Picture of Nate with the kids at his Grandma Allred's house by the good old swing set he remembers swinging on as a kid. He said it was funny to see how the real thing compared to his memory of it.



Then, the sweetest part of the whole trip......being in the sealing room of the Draper UT temple to witness Michael Craig and Tiffany be sealed together surrounded by close family and friends. It was so wonderful to be there and see how happy they are together, and be reminded of the eternal nature of the family and the sacredness and importance of the temple ordinances.





Later, at the reception.........









What a wonderful couple of weeks spent with family.
