Open House in Lehi





We had a great time at Brian and Emily's open house in Lehi on Saturday night. It was wonderful seeing so many friends that we hadn't seen for a long time. We saw dear friends from the ward we attended in Kearns over 25 years ago - that was great! We loved reconnecting with our friend Beva, who was the reason we finally started family vacations when our kids were younger. We also got to visit my cousins and some of their family that we hadn't seen for quite a while. Kirk even had some former BYU Cheer squad members stop by - wow, that's a blast from the past! And I had one of my best friends from high school who made it. My only regret is that I was so busy gabbing (imagine that!) that I didn't think to pull out the camera until the very end - and even then, I only got a few pictures. And most unforgivable . . . I only got one picture of Mike (the Army wouldn't let him off for all the Friday events) - and its not even with Brian and Emily! I guess we'll have to photoshop him into the wedding pictures.

Wedding Day and Blessing Day

Caynen Kirk Abittan shared the spotlight with Brian and Emily—he was blessed on their wedding day! Since we had almost all of our family and friends together, we decided that would be the perfect time to bless Shellie and George's little guy. I know that family on earth and family in Heaven were all happy to to see our precious baby boy blessed and a new eternal family started.
