I'm an official Blogger!

My sister Patti and my sister-in-law Kerri have blogs and I have wanted to start my own blog. I in listed the help of my patient and talented daughter Kara and she helped me create my blog. Yea!

This past weekend was my daughter Amy's wedding to Bryan Clevenger. Their sealing happened to be on my Birthday. I have to say that this was the best Birthday ever. There is nothing sweeter than seeing your daughter sealed in the temple. This is a picture of the Van
Wagenen and Clevenger families.

This is our back yard at the reception. I was so happy how everything turned out.











My friends Stephanie, Christine, Jen and Amy helped to make everything look so cute. These are some pictures of the picture table and the cake.

I'm so happy I got to see pictures since I wasn't able to be at the wedding. The girls looked darling in their dresses and Amy was beautiful. The decorations looked just perfect. I'm sure it's quite a relief that everything went so well. Now you can rest!!

I'll have to start a blog now to keep up with everyone. :)

Love,

Diane

Shelley,
Is Bryan from Ashland, Oregon? I used to live in Eagle Point which is just up the road from there and a friend said that she saw Amy and Bryan's announcement in the paper and that they were getting married in Fresno Temple...My friend asked me if I knew the VanWagenen's..small world!
