The summer flew by! I stopped blogging because I was dealing with some medical issues I wasn't willing to tell the world about. Just as that was ending, and I mean only hours after getting home from the hospital, my daughter Sarah called to announce her engagement. There I was needing some rest and recovery and facing planning a wedding. I hate to admit it, but I was too exhausted physically and emotionally to be excited. It was a little slow in coming.
At first they were going to get married in December which would have allowed plenty of time to plan, but they were also considering the end of August. For several very practical and smart reasons August ruled and I had 6 weeks to pull together a wedding. During that time we had a trip to Utah to make; where we attended a Thomas family reunion and were able to meet Jace and his family. It was a busy and exhausting time. Different children headed off to camps and activities all while I was attending classes, doing homework and trying to get my strength and stamina back. With the help of the Lord and some friends it all worked.
The wedding was August 12th. One week after my finals. We might have tried to push it back week or two, but the temple closed the 13th for renovations and she wanted to be married here, not in Utah. As it was everything went smoothly and it was an absolutely beautiful day. They went on a quick honey moon to Glenwood Springs and then went home to Provo. Roy and I took the two littlest children and went to their reception in Utah on the 22nd. I had to miss the first day of my classes this semester, that was OK. The happy couple is keeping busy working, going to school and living the life of poor college students. What could be more romantic?
I could write pages on the happenings of this summer and I may come back in the future. For now, I want to record my commitment to begin writing again. This semester I am taking three classes - 10 units - I don't think I have ever been so busy. I didn't think there was anyway I could keep up with a blog, so it has fallen by the wayside. Sundays are going to be the key. I am going to try and write at least a few minutes on Sundays. I don't do school work, or any major housework. I think I can find time here. It is an activity absolutely in keeping with the spirit of the sabbath.
