Rancho Sierra Vista

Last night we were in Provo for the wedding reception of one of our nephews, one of my younger sisters sons. This is always a fun event since we get to see all of the relatives, cousins, nephews and nieces - which is always a treat. We used to drive to Utah for our vacations so my children would have the chance to get to know their cousins and this is an extension of that - though, it is kind of sad to see that my children don’t always know their cousins.

Being at the reception last night helped solidify that son John will be getting married very soon. He and his fiance Erin are getting married in Manti, UT at the temple down there. The day will be filled with the temple sealing and a luncheon and, that evening, a reception at the Springville Museum of Art in Springville, UT. This is exciting and a little terrifying, all at the same. When you think about it, cousins getting married, and the way receptions and events come together, it is strange to think that a lot of small, individual, events have to merge at the right time for everything to be just right.

The reception, last night, was very nice. Seeing my brothers and sisters and their children, and having my own children with me, was fun. Having a son getting married means I get to see these people again.
