Over the weekend my brother Nathan got married. Thankfully everything turned out well. I'm so relieved the wedding is over because preparing for it has practically consumed my life the last few weeks.
We did have lots of fun celebrating the marriage. It was nearly impossible to get Abby to hold still long enough to get a decent photograph, but we managed to get a few. Avery and Abby are a force of nature to be reckoned with when they get together.
This is the awesome cake:
Here's the signing quilt my mom and I made:
Grandma and Grandpa Bowen:
Abs with Aunt Madi:
We ate lots of treats. Here's Abby getting caught in the act of eating yet another bowl of ice cream:
Congratulations Nate and Allison! We're so excited to have Allison officially be a part of the family!
Meet Daniel and Brittany
The challenge that began with "Have a nice life, Daniel Burton" is progressing with favorable results. Surviving and thriving on lively discussions about books, Abby, or the post-grad school world, the Burtons show signs of excellent health and familial success.
Dan and Britt met on a hot July 4th in 2005. Shortly after inviting her to join him for a panoramic view of the Independence Day fireworks, and not long after her denial, Daniel and Britt agreed to break the ice over ice cream. They soon realized that they were both book geeks, decided a permanent union was worth evaluating, and were married just over a year later on another beautiful July day.
After graduating with a law degree from both he and Brittany's alma mater's rival, Daniel is corporate counsel at the Woodbury Corporation, a commercial real estate management and development company in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, and far more interestingly, Brittany is raising a new generation of Burtons as full-time mother and family creative director. Abby is two and a half, and #2 is on the way, with arrival expected in late June of 2011. The Burtons look forward to many years of exploring canyons, creeks, and mountain tops, swapping novels, notes, and ideas, and enjoying great discussions about people, politics, and their family.
Daniel and Brittany are both graduates of the 2002 class of Brigham Young University. Abby is gunning to graduate from diapers, sooner than later.
