Its strange to think that my first anniversary is coming up here on October 13! WEIRD. I feel like I've been married forever and for only a few months all at once. I can't imagine trying to live without Daniel.
This past Saturday Dan's family met at Logan Regional Hospital to celebrate the wedding of a dear family friend and cousin. Dan's cousin married a girl who is now very sick and fighting for her life. The hospital couldn't let her come out of her medical room, but she was dressed in princess style pink gown with little diamonds all over it. She looked so beautiful. Dan's cousin looked happy and was full of thoughts for the family, often he said to the group, "Don't be scared, why are you all so solemn, this is a day to be happy."
I heard the nurses talking about the bride, "I'm surprised she has lasted this long.." was a comment that stuck in my mind. I know all things happen for a reason, I just hope that the couple will be comforted.
Dan and I left the wedding after congratulating the couple and drove to farmington. Five out of the nine siblings were at the Farmington Cemetery. We sang songs mom loved before she died, and prayed there in the rain on the grass. Becca prayed for everyone, asking heavenly father to watch over all of us. There wasn't a dry eye when we were through, and lots of hugs going around. After, we drove to Applebees and ate dinner together. Thank you everyone, It was the first time that I really got to feel the love that everyone felt for mom. I felt united as we sang on the grass, though some of the songs were ones I didn't know. I felt full of love and hope for our family as Becca prayed. Thankyou..

Thank you for posting this. I am sad I missed the memorial for mom... it sounded nice.
I love you.
Thank you so much Lisbeth..I felt so silly afterward and now Im glad I did it. I just knew I needed to I guess. I didn't know that the wedding you went to was like that- I feel horrible that I didn't even ask how the wedding went..I'll have to ask you more about it later. THANK YOU FOR COMING!! It was so neat. Kirsten- I wish you were there too..and Thaniel and Jon and Ben.
oh!! Happy Anniversary!! I like your husband so much too! Denise says he has a wonderful family.
Hint for the anniversary- SPEND TIME TOGETHER at least. Nate and I have had a couple where I don't even see him (course we usually celebrate earlier or later on those years) but even if all you do is go for a picnic on temple grounds, use this time to remember all the fun you've had this year, serving dan glass for dinner, him thinking you were a spider, etc. ;D
Thank you for posting about the memorial for your mom/ my sister. I had wanted to hear about it. Sounds so wonderful.
Happy Anniversary that is so great!
That sounded like a nice thing to do. Bet your mom was there too. She loves you all so much. The nice thing is she could be at the memorial and then zip over to her kids that weren't there and give them all a hug and a kiss too.
I can imagine the wonderful job that Rebecca did. She has such a beautiful soul. Thanks for sharing.

I want to add one more detail to the reports of Carol's memorial at the Farmington cemetery. While we were all there, someone called Jon and someone else called Nathaniel. He had known ahead of time and had gone to his mom's grave in Rexburg. We tried to reach Kirsten but we couldn't. Including the phone calls, only she and Ben were missing. Becca's prayer was so sweet and thoughtful. I am sure Carol was there, her eyes brimming with tears, as mine were. Gran
