Thoughts and stories, by Pal

A Family Wedding! Anita and Reed                                     Taken soon after they were engaged in August. The last 2 weekends  have been memorable!  Our daughter Anita was sealed in the Bountiful Temple to Reed Lunnen, Saturday November 19, 2016, and that late afternoon we had a wedding dinner for friends and family. Coming out of the Bountiful Temple, November 19, 2016.  Reed had 3 of his daughters and Anita had 3 of her sons in the Temple.    From left to right, Rebecca (Becca, Wife of Sam), Sam, Jake, David, and Ben with his wife Ashlee.  Anita and Reed on the front. The 2 witnesses were Joe Eckman, oldest son of Blaine Eckman, deceased, and Wayne M.

Here are some beautiful thoughts from Latter Day Light!   And tomorrow, November 19, 2016, will be a totally special day for our family.  Our daughter Anita will be getting married to Reed Lunnen in the Bountiful, Utah, Temple.  They are so happy!  The interesting thing about them is that Reed is the youngest brother of my husband Wayne's twin brother Blaine's wife Joyce!  Blaine's son Joe got the idea to introduce them around last April.  We wonder if Wayne and Blaine, up above, put the thought in his head!

These are Anita's 4 sons, from left to right:  Sam, Ben, Jake, and David, in the airport when Jake returned home from his mission to Indonesia, last summer, in 2016. This is their invitation, a...

I'm reposting an entry I posted a year ago today, on November 24, 2013, with some updates and more photos.  The accident mentioned in the first paragraph happened a year ago yesterday.     I'm so grateful for Divine Protection!  We have been the grateful recipients many times! I'm beginning this post at 5:30 a.m. (written November 24, 2013) because I can't sleep!  Our daughter, Anita,  and her 3 sons, Sam, Jake, and David, borrowed our car to go to California to visit the oldest son Sam's Mission, and people he knew there.  This is our daughter Anita, who was traveling with her 3 sons, Sam, Jake, and David.  Ben was already in Taiwan on his mission. Sam came home on October 29th, and as all good missionaries do, has missed the dear people he knew and taught.  They borrowed our car, and left yesterday about 10 a.m.  As they were within minutes of their destination, there was a 3 car collision, where they were the 3rd car. ...
