She's Married?!

 It finally came! Katherine and Trevor had been planning their wedding for several months and Yes, even before the engagement - hahahaha! After months and months of checking tasks off Katherine and Trevor finally entered the month of April where time would not slow down. Katherine went back to Idaho shortly after Christmas and spent the whole semester doing school and planning for her wedding. 


Jamie and Katherine competing on Just Dance and we opened presents on Christmas Day (her last single Christmas!). 

Of course many other things transpired with our family during that time that I won't tell about because that will take too long and that will be too many posts to blog about. 

back to the story... So we are in April and the 13th is fast approaching. 

Well, I have to insert something else before I proceed to tell about April. Jamie calls me one evening and she says "so, how much time do you need before you commit to fly to Salt Lake City to help me drive back?". I sure was hoping that she was going to drive back with her friends but I knew that it was going to happen and I was going to have to go out there and help drive back - who wouldn't for their daughter? Anyway, I just dreaded driving the long distance. So the Tuesday before the Saturday (wedding day). I had to fly out to Salt Lake City and we drove back. We drove the rest of Tuesday up until like 9 pm. We spent the night at a hotel in Laramie then woke up to snow and ice on the roads and car. We started at 7 am and decided not to stop but drive through the whole day and night. The Lord really blessed us, especially me, because I had worried about not being able to drive for long periods of time and getting tired. Jamie did awesome, too! She drove through the worst weather in St. Louis and Kansas City. I picked up before the Ohio River and drove the 6 hours all the way to the house. We pulled up to the house at around 6:30 am. Oh and I got pulled over twice - one was a warning in Wyoming and the other was a 10 mph ticket over in Nebraska. The Nebraska State Trooper was a funny guy. 


Now we are caught up to Katherine's wedding day on that Saturday. It was a wonderful day and she was so happy. Not many people attended the reception, but it was still fun. 





I know that this is not enough details, but I apologize and hopefully I can do better in the future with capturing our families' history.
