Day One: August 12th - Taylorsville Reception









Day one of our trip consisted of Mom, Dad, Rachel and Sarah departing 336 North Ivy at 4:00 a.m. It was a different driving set up than we have had in the past. Mom was behind the wheel of the van and behind the van was a trailer full of Katie's belongings. Her driving companion and filler of any need possible was Rachel (a great companion I might add). Dad - with his loyal companion Sarah - was behind the wheel of the RAV4. It was full of Katie and Dallin's wedding gifts. Fortunately for Katie and Dallin Grandpa Cornwall had also stopped by on Friday and filled his car with wedding gifts.

We had fun talking on the Walkie Talkies - dad told punny stories about the Moapa Indians and everything else he could think of. We arrived at Dave and Katherine's just in time to unload the trailer, change our clothes and get to the Andersons to help Katie with her hair. She was still a beautiful bride.

The Anderson Reception was truly lovely and we were surprised that we had so many friends show up - The Dave Cornwalls, Grandpa, Carol and Gordon Madsen, The Robb Richards, my growing up friend Jerri Christensen, Sue Davis, the Clark Hodgkinsons, Heather (Hodgkinson McMurray and family, the Koffords, Stacey Laursen, Jeannine and Whitney McDonnel, the Sweeneys, Mike and Kelly Thompson and the Allsops and Riches called to say it was a bad night for them. Katie had lots of friends and it was really fun that her Young Ambassador friends were there when she sang "You Are My Home" to Dallin. I included a picture of the Cottrells for Jason and Stefanie's benefit. They were very interested in your life and in Paisley. We clued them all in. It was a great first day of our trip!!!

  1. These pictures posted in the exact opposite order that I wanted them to post and now that they post the picture language and not the picture I don't know how to switch them or at least delete the Cottrells. Can you deal with it family - or should I try to start over?

  2. Shazam! The pictures are rearranged as you intended.
    I do have a suggestion - when posting several (or more) pictures in one post do them small. If we want to see more detail we can click on the pic and enlarge it.

  3. The Taylorsville reception was very lovely. The Andersons really went all out for a full reception for the lovely newly (one week oldly) weds.

  5. I love big pictures too, if I do say so myself, but that was such a fun night, it looked so great and things couldn't have gone better, I was just wondering why Rachel and I's picture of us through the mirror didn't make the cut on the blog, oh well it was probably good without it.
