Wedding Bells (Part 2 of Moving to Virginia)

After visiting our new granddaughter and her proud parents in Houston, we flew to Spokane Washington for a Family Reunion on Elaine's side. It was a bit hectic with all the family in the Christensen Homestead, but we all got along, and enjoyed each others company. The girls had a wedding shower for Adri,

..while the men went to shoot each other with paintballs in the heat. I am certain the women had a better time than we did. That may be the last paintball event for family reunions, as us older guys are getting a little slow running around in the desert with heavy clothes. But it was good to see most fo the family together again. Mom & Dad do a good job of getting the family together every other year.

One of the highlights of the week was going through the Spokane temple with Adrianne and Russ as Adrianne took out her endowments. It was neat to be there with Grandma & Grandpa and Garrett & Tyler & Russ all together in the Temple.

After the reunion, Everyone flew back home - to Provo or Mesa to prepare for the Wedding. Tyler and I drove 12 hours to Provo one day, spent the next day getting him set up for school, and left the next day with Garrett for another 10 hour trip to Mesa.

Because of the heat in Arizona in August, Adri & Russ decided to have their reception the night before the sealing. We spent the day getting the cultural hall decked out, and enjoyed the festivities.

I dont have many digital images of the reception or wedding. You can link to Adri's Blog Blog or the Stinson Clan blog to see many images. I include a few of the set up, for completeness.
