Special Family Weekend

Last weekend was great! We were greatly anticipating the visit from Dave and Elizabeth, and to have Matthew home as well. This was our first time meeting Dave and it didn't take long to see that he fit right in. We could also tell how much he cared for Elizabeth and vice versa. Elizabeth has been sick and so we took the weekend as easy as possible. There were wedding plans to go over and decisions to make. Elizabeth did much resting, but also got at least two tasks done per day. They started with looking at

tuxes, tasting and ordering a cake. The wedding cake is coming from A Piece of Cake bakery, which is where Sarah works.

On Saturday morning, we had a very special trip to the Oakland temple. Sarah went to the temple for the first time for herself. How wonderful it was to have Matthew, Elizabeth and Dave be in attendance. We were blessed also to have Cheryl and Lonnie Smith join us. Cheryl was one of Sarah's first Young Women leaders. They have a special bond from those years in YW. There was a multi stake youth conference in Oakland that same day. Katie attended youth conference and went back home with us to have a family night dinner and games.
