Rachelle and Taylor are married!

It was a great day. Here are a few pictures to share.


I

Our 9 year Anniversary!!!


About 9 years, 20 minutes ago Linell and I were in the St. Louis Temple being sealed for time and all eternity. Yesterday we watched as Rachelle and Taylor were sealed in the same temple. I'm so excited to have a companion with me through this life journey. She has been an inspiration, an example, a teacher and a friend to me. There is nothing better then standing beside her and holding her hand. Her laughter is contagious and her smile never ceases. She is beautiful, kind and loving. She loves children beyond my comprehension. ( This manifests itself several times when I come home and there are 9 or more kids around the house.) She is forgiving and humble. She loves to beat me at any game possible and the new one she found that she likes to annihilate me at is Scrabble. She is a wonderful mother and I will be forever grateful to her. In short, I love her.

Rescheduled Bridal Shower

Since I was in St. Louis with Connor on the day we had originally scheduled Rachelle's shower, we rescheduled it. For anyone that will be here, we are having it Saturday, Aug. 2, at 3:00 pm. We are going to have it at Jimmy and Debbie's farm house - which is where Rachelle and Taylor will be living for a while.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!
