Abby's Wedding

Abby Farnsworth is my cousin Charles' oldest daughter. She is right in between Westley and Caleb in age. She actually grew up in London because that's where Charles works, but she was getting married in Arizona because her husband, Cole Thompson, is from the Gilbert area. I got the wedding invitation, so I got my mom to go with me. We flew to Arizona and went to the wedding. Then we stayed the night. We went to church in my mom's old ward in Mesa and then we flew home. A very quick trip, but it was nice. My Farnsworth cousins were all there and it was nice to see Charles and Ed, who I never see, and Dan, who I hardly ever see. While we were there, we also met up with my friend Shar Cardona and had some yummy gelato. What a nice little trip!

 

Hannah's Wedding

Corey and I went to California for my niece Hannah's wedding.  Hannah is Jordan's third child and second daughter.  She married Trey Wilson at a nice location in Southern California.  Aaron and Adam were there and so were John and Allison.  Westley and Alejandra came down for it also as well as Grandpa and Grandma.  It was a very different wedding than Leah's in April, which was in the Logan Temple.  

Travis had to come to Southern California that same week to get his visa taken care of for South Africa at the consulate in LA.  We picked him up from the airport and took him to the consulate and then drove up to the Antelope Valley to see where we used to live.  Then the three of us flew home together.

Wedding Reception

The reception was supposed to be outdoors at Adam and Eve's house in their huge front yard. I spent time the previous week helping clean up the yard so it would look nice. But, Mother Nature had other plans, which involved rain, so the reception had to be moved to indoors. The Heath Stake Center was chosen as the location because that is where Alejandra went to church as a youth. Her family has since moved to Utah. But they were able to get everything moved over and set up and it still looked amazing. The reception was so much fun, with many Mexican traditions done. It was a great day!

 

Wedding Day--Temple First!

On Friday May 2nd, Westley and Alejandra were sealed in the Dallas Texas temple.  The kids did not go to school and we all went down to the temple.  Travis and Eliza were able to wait with the kids in the waiting room so all the adults could go to the sealing.  The sealing was done in English but all the other words were translated into Spanish, which was cool.
