This past weekend we drove up to UT for a wedding and to spend time with Matt's parents. Matt's closest friend from his mission, Ben Jensen, got married. Ben is a really dedicated friend who has driven many, many miles for us- our wedding, birthday parties, introducing us to Audrey when they were dating- so we were excited to be able to show our love and support by being there for him. Elder Watson performed the sealing at the Salt Lake Temple. It was a beautiful and busy day for weddings.
The reception was at "The Bungalow," a charming and romantic retreat in the middle of industrial Pleasant Grove.
In addition to the traditional guestbook, they compiled a photo book of their guests. All guests were welcome to help themselves to various props and situate themselves behind empty antique frames (a blue and an orange frame- the wedding colors) for a photo op. They plan to send each guest their photo along with the thank you note. What a cute idea!
Saturday morning, we had a few free hours, so we headed up to Park City to enjoy my grandparents (in town for conference) and the gorgeous fall foliage.
We went on a beautiful walk along the shorter Spiro trail.
And enjoyed Grandma and Grandpa in the memory-filled condo.
We spent the rest of Saturday and Sunday morning enjoying Matt's parents in their condo in Murray. We watched conference, went swimming (their condo pool was still open!), and Marie stocked up John's winter wardrobe! John loved his new toys and of course spending time with his Grandma and Grandpa!
Enjoying a favorite book
And loving some fun apps on Grandpa's iPad :)
On the way home, we stopped in Provo to spend some time with my sister Jane and with Matt's grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousin in Springville. I only wish we had had more time to see all of our family that had gathered for conference. A fun and quick trip!
