Stephen had his first business trip. Just to Ogden for 3 days. I thought I handled the kids well all by myself. Wednesday and Thursday were spent is Salt Lake City playing with Trina. We slept out in a tent. It was the first time I "camped" with my kids. It was a late night but i thought it went over well. Except when Trina's boy Allen threw up. Thursday evening we BBQd and it was so great to see all my village friends come out and play. Trina and Corey hooked up their slack line. It's a great challenge to walk on it. Even funner to watch people attempt.
Saturday we went to cousin Jasmine's wedding. I am so happy that she found her soul mate. Their wedding ceremony was one of the sweetest weddings ever. It's always fun going back to the SLC temple, bringing back memories of that great day 5 1/2 years ago. It was cute seeing the grooms as they sat on a bench waiting for their brides. I remember when I came down the hall to see Stephen sitting on that bench. The day was finished with the ring ceremony at a farm in Lindon. I want that farm. :)
Sunday was real peaceful. Just spending time as a family. That evening we went to Uncle Grants house in Maplton. Most of the Madsen family was still in town. It was real fun as everyone was is a great mood, no drama, and my kids were entertained for me. Grant and Delia Madsen have done a wonderful joy raining their 9 kids. I hope mine will turn out as successful and talented.
Oh yeah, the one divorce was a friend from SLC. It is sad to see her go through such pain but it does make you look at your own marriage and work harder to communicate, love and appreciate your spouse.
