We had a wonderful weekend and are pleased to welcome into our family Joey’s new wife, Angela. They were a beautiful couple had a truly memorable ceremony on September 1st, at Trail Creek Cabin in Sun Valley. Chris, Jess and his grandpa all dressed up in tuxedos and looked very handsome. It was quite the miracle since two days before the wedding the 7 of the tuxes were shipped to MN. Jess was a groomsman along with 3 of Joey’s good friends and “Uncle Dave”. Joey was blessed to have three grandmothers attend and grandpa even rallied for the occasion with a sore arm. Lots of friends and family were able to come and it was so fun to see everyone. Jamie was a gorgeous bridesmaid with two of Angie’s beautiful sisters and a cute pregnant best friend and little Jahara was the flower girl. At two years of age, she danced us all into the ground and kept everyone hopping all night long. It was a beautiful day with blue skies, wispy clouds and Bald Mountain in the background. They originally had their heart set on getting married in Maui but when Jess got hurt they changed their plans so we could all be together on their special day. Chris’ mom and two sisters came out from Cleveland. It was the first time his oldest sister, Joy, had been out here and she fell in love with the mountains. Most of Angela’s family and friends were able to come from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Arizona and some of Joey’s family came from Idaho Falls. Angie’s family were all a lot of fun to be around and it was a pleasure to meet them. We all enjoyed a fun rehearsal dinner here at our house. It seems awful quiet now with everyone gone.

Jess starts school on Tuesday and gets back to horseback riding after 3 weeks off. He has a really busy schedule and we just hope the stimulation will help him figure out a lot of things he has forgotten. He was sure wide-eyed at the wedding hearing all the familiar voices he hasn’t heard for a long while and there were times we thought he was really going to say something. Boy, will that be a glorious day!
