Utah Visit/Melissa's Wedding

We took a trip to Utah this past week for my sister Melissa's wedding. Her reception dinner was held on June 26 at Thanksgiving Point. It was amazing. We would have eaten in the gardens, but it was an overcast, rainy evening, so we got to eat in "the barn" as it was called. The food was wonderful and so was the entertainment. There was a live band and stand up comedy. We got to hear my dad tell some fun stories about Melissa's childhood.

Melissa and Brandon's wedding was the next day on June 27 in the Salt Lake Temple. The sealing was really special and the day was absolutely picture perfect. Melissa was a gorgeous bride. Brandon is a very lucky guy. The two make a very cute couple. We are so happy for them.

We had a great trip. Natalie was really good for the drive up and back, thanks to our new portable dvd player. I was able to satisfy some cravings I had been having for a while (Cafe Rio and Zupas), and we got to have some fun at the Payson pool. Natalie had fun playing with her little Aunties :) It was good to see my family again.

It looks like the wedding was beautiful! Your outfit is so cute! I think that you and your sisters all look so much alike. Also, that water park looks like SO much fun! I am jealous (I am also jealous about Cafe Rio). I am glad you are back so we can hang out on the 4th. yay!

Wow how exciting! It's so weird though Christine, because I only know like half of your family! Seriously it's so crazy. It's been too long. You are all gorgeous!
