A Wedding, A Birth, Death, and Life
The title of this post says it all. The month since we returned from Germany has been filled with highs and lows, and, in keeping it real, I share it all. Our neighbor's daughter got married this month. The two of them make the cutest pair. We wish them an eternity of happiness. My husband's cousin had a baby girl. Look at that sweet face! Welcome to the world, baby K! Sadly, we unexpectedly said goodbye to three friends who left this world too soon. Till we meet again, Arn, Grant, and Wayne. The girls attended a back-to-school dinner! They had a great evening being celebrated by their youth leaders at church. Three friends returned home from their 18- and 2-year missions for our church. Samuel served in Mexico, Tanner served in California, and Maddy served in Spain. It was fun celebrating their return with them. They are all off to school in the next couple of weeks. Avery made the cross-country team. She was so happy because she was worried that the new time cut-offs would prevent her from making it, but she is really finding her groove among the runners. The youth had an end-of-summer party at our bishops' lake house. The girls had a blast!

You started off with the happy tiding—the wedding of your neighbor's daughter.
A beautiful bride and a nice event. Those legs in shorts (seen bottom right) kind of ruined the etiquette for such a semi–formal happening...
The baby girl is a sweet tiding!
Sad that three friends left this world way too soon... that is a quite an impact on those left behind!
Back to school and end–of–summer party are lovely things.
The return of those missionaries, long– and short–term of course was a joy to celebrate.
Hugs,
Mariette
