Garreth called George to wish him on Fathers Day. He said they were having so much fun in the Dominican Republic. They swam with sharks, were followed by Dolphins, rode four wheelers around the town, and went white river rafting. They come home tomorrow, Just in time for the open house. In the meantime I have lots of preperations.

The honeymoon

Garreth called George from The Dominican Republic on Fathers Day. He said they swam with sharks, were followed by dolphins, went four wheeling around the town, and went white river rafting.

A busy week

Sat, 13th June. We had just arrived in Utah in time to go to Jessica's bridal shower (or should I say kitchen tea?) hosted by my daughters at the Morgans home. We had fun while the men all went to give Garreth a tool party.

Sun, 14th June. After church we were invited by Jessica's aunt for dinner. After dinner the soon to be married couple opened gifts given to them by family. They received some really lovely gifts from family. We gave them a down comforter as well as all the bedding they will need. Jessica's aunt gave something nicer............a HAND MADE quilt!

Mon, 15th June. Jessica received her endowments and George took everyone to P.F. Changs (a resturant) afterwards to celebrate.

Tues, 16th June. We gave the rehersal dinner, at the Morgan's friends home. The men played basketball. The very soon to be married couple gave everyone gifts, and speeches were made by the parents and some of the siblings of the bride and groom.

Wed, 17th June. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple. All my children together in the temple. This was very special to me. The reception was beautiful. I wish I had taken pictures. There must have been 300 people there.

Thurs, 18th June. We were invited to the Morgan's home to see the married couple open all their gifts. They received some beautiful things. Thanks to Christina Mangelson for the lovely dinner service.
