Fresno!

This weekend, we were honored to go up to Fresno to attend my cousin's (2nd cousin or something, really) wedding reception. They were sealed in the Fresno Temple on Thursday and then had their reception on Saturday morning. It was a beautiful day and it was so great to see them and honor them on such a wonderful accomplishment. Here's the beautiful bride in her dress:

They had a simple ring ceremony and then changed into Indian clothing. They actually met in India, when they were there working with school children...I think. Anyways, they met in India, so their reception was Indian themed. Very cool! Here they are with the groom's parents. (The father of the groom is my Dad's cousin, so that's how we're related)

Scott and Michelle really are just the nicest people!

Before the reception, we had the opportunity to attend a session in the Fresno Temple, which is always wonderful!

After the reception, we got to visit with Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Richard a little more and they told us about Old Town Clovis, which is a cute little district of streets with lots of antique shops, some used book stores,a baseball card shop, and several other little shops.

My parents and I thought it sounded like fun and decided to go. I had never been "antiquing" before, so it was a whole new thing for me and it was SO much fun! I saw things that I remembered from my childhood that have been long gone and things that brought back such great memories of my grandparents. My parents experienced similar feelings. It was wonderful to have a leisurely afternoon! I found a few treasures in a used book store and then got my very first baseball card in the baseball card shop! It's this one:

Way cool!

I'm so grateful to have been able to spend such quality time with my parents and see other family members who mean a lot to me. It was a fabulous weekend!
