The Beal/Cannon Family: Keaton's Wedding

This week was mainly recover from ward party slash get ready to leave for my brother's wedding. Nothing much happened. Tuesday night we had a girls night and some of us couldn't leave until 2:00 in the morning and then I was still wound up until about 3:00. That is late folks! But I sure do love my girlfriends in the ward, they are the best!

On Thursday night Kelsey and Justin rolled in from Washington. We chatted for a bit and then went to bed. Kelsey joined me early for my 6:00 am fitness class and they all laughed at Kelsey for having the same genetic uncoordinated moves. Good times! After we got ready Kelsey and I went and found not one but 3 new dresses for me to possibly wear to the wedding. We left around 12:30 to drive down to Utah. Only 30 minutes behind schedule which is pretty much on time for us. Scott went and had a client sign a cash deal and got a $1000 bonus before we left town. Now that's the way to start your weekend. The drive was still long and ugly but so much better with no kids and Kelsey and Justin to keep us company. We left our kids with a young, single mom in our ward. She has a 4 year old and they just came and stayed at our house. She is so great and I didn't have any worries the whole time we were gone. I knew my kids were in good hands, (probably better hands) Ha!

We met up with lots of Beals for dinner and I took them to my favorite place, Hires of course. I think they liked it. I don't know, but I did! After that we went bowling. As usual I was a terrible bowler and got last place. We all split up after that and Scott and I and Kelsey and Justin headed to the Cannon house for the night. Jeff and Janet are in China right now so we were just greeted by the cat. Nicole came over and said hi for a minute. I really wanted to watch a movie on the back deck because that's one of my favorite things. They have a great set up down there. Scott had to work for about 30 minutes before he figured out how to jimmy rig it. There were just too many cords to sort through in Jeff's office. He ended up being able to stream it through Justin's laptop. I'm so glad he did because I loved watching a movie out there that night. We watched Disturbia.

We got up and got ready and then headed over to Nicole and Rustin's to bum off some cereal from them and instead got a wonderful breakfast of pancakes with whip cream and strawberries and scrambled eggs. Awesome!

We drove to the Bountiful temple for the sealing. All of my siblings were there except for Lance and Katie and we weren't sure if they were going to make it but they came at the last minute. It was really cool to be in the sealing room with my whole family. All of my siblings are now married and we were all there together and my dad was the sealer so it was just a really special time. My mom said it was the highlight of her whole life. It was pretty amazing.

After pictures we went to a luncheon at a church in West Jordon and it was really nice. They had it decorated nice and the food was really delicious! We just sat around and talked for several hours. It was really fun. After that Scott, Kelsey, Justin and I headed back to Boise. It was a quick trip but it was a lot of fun. I didn't even mind the driving part so much because it's so much easier to drive it without kids. We came back and all was well. Gabby seemed to miss us the most and gave me a hug and said, "I'm so happy you're back." Sure do love my sweet, loud, wild, messy kids.
