Matthew & Jenny Wedding

Finally! Matthew (Dave's older brother) and Jenny had been planning their wedding for what seems like FOREVER! Well, on Thursday Sept. 16 they finally became husband and wife. They were sealed in the Draper temple and had a dinner later that night at Thanksgiving Point.

Waiting for all the pictures to be over with. So, naturally Dave's pappa would pull my 25 year old husband around the temple in a wagon to kill time.  I can't decide if Dave gets his crazy goofiness from his Dad...or his Mom. (See picture below... you tell me???)

I love this! It makes me laugh every time I look at it. I have the best in-laws EVER!

Congratulations Matthew & Jenny!

Thankful

My family went to St. George for Labor Day weekend with the intentions to take the boat to Lake Mead.  Thankfully they decided to just take the boat to Sand Hollow instead.  Thankfully Sand Hollow was too crowded so they didn't even put the boat in the water on Saturday.  Later that night, my dad was gasping for air and felt like a semi-truck was parked right on his chest. Thankfully he wasn't too stubborn to let my mom drive him to the hospital to find out what was wrong.  Thankfully my mom ran a few stop lights. Thankfully she got pulled over.  Thankfully the cop was able to carry my dad into the hospital because she couldn't have done it alone. Thankfully the Dr.'s immediately knew the problem and rushed him to the OR. Thankfully there were LDS nurses there who could give him a blessing before the surgery.  Thankfully they were able to get the stent in his heart within 45 minutes.  My dad had 100% blockage of his main artery and I cannot express enough how thankful I am to all the events that took place so that his life was saved.  

Dave & I raced down to St. George as soon as we got the call and by the time we got there, my dad was stable in the ICU. Thankfully my parents have a home in St. George so we were able to stay there a few days and visit him in the hospital. Even in the ICU with cords hooked up all over his body, my dad was cracking jokes & smiling. He was released from the hospital yesterday afternoon.  Now its Dr. visits once a week and 10 different medications daily, but he's home and he's ok. I thank my Heavenly Father for watching over my dad.  My dad said, "We all have our trials that we have to go through.  I don't think Heavenly Father will just stop something like a heart attack from happening, but he helps us to be surrounded by the right people at the right time who help perform His miracles."
