Memorial Day Camping

Dustin and I went camping over the weekend at Payson Lakes with Sara and Keith. On our way up to the mountains we stopped at Theo and Marie's house to visit. While there we rode their horses around the yard. Dustin rode Golden who took him under a Basketball hoop that almost took him out. My horse's name was Dox. It was a lot of fun.
We spent two nights in the mountains. We played games most the time and hung around the camp area. It was a good time to get away from reality.
Dustin is still looking for a job and he's had many interviews. Keep your fingers crossed!!
Love you all!

ring pictures

here is with the wedding band intertwined...it is plain and crosses directly below the diamond. each side that is at an angle isn't polished, and has 2 litle diamonds inset.
birds eye view...and yes, it's dang shiny!!
blurry..bad picture...sorry...
kind of blurry again, but you're starting to get the idea of the ring (no wedding band on this one)
that's underneath the diamond so you can see where the wedding band crosses under and interlocks!!

oh look, here we are. i took pics of the ring but they didn't turn out, i'll try again tomorrow. more pictures coming when i have more time (it took me a while to figure out how to do this...). love you all!!

Wedding Day in Nauvoo

I think Lauryn and Josh have settled on a day and time for the wedding. It will be in Nauvoo. The sealing will be at 10:00 AM on the 18th of August. That's a Saturday. Dustin and Mallory will be moving to Illinois that week, so they will drive straight to Nauvoo on the 16th. We (Randy, Devon, Josh, Lauryn, and I) will probably drive to Nauvoo Friday (17th) in the morning. Josh and Lauryn have to get the marriage license in Carthage by 3:00 on Friday. The reception will be back in Naperville at 7:00 PM on the 18th. It will be a looong day!!!!

Love to All,
MOM

Our Family Keeps Growing!

Lauryn accepted the wedding proposal last night and is off to Vegas today. No, she and Josh are not eloping; Lauryn is going to spend four days in Las Vegas as part of her interior design program.

Congratulations Lauryn and Josh!! This is a perfect venue to post a picture of the ring and a picture of the engaged couple. Brandon, Elizabeth, and Atticus have never met Josh and might want to see how the two of you look together! I am so happy that my daughter is so happy!

I'm hoping this blog will be a good way to communicate wedding plans and ideas.

Love to All,
MOM
