Debbie's Wedding

Debbie got married the weekend of Thanksgiving. Originally, we were not planning to go, because we had absolutely no money to spend on the trip. Mom and Dad Conover offered to give us some money for gas. We still weren't going to go because we had no money for a hotel. Julie and Tim offered to let all 4 of us come stay in their (all 9 of them) hotel room. So, Friday morning we decided to go and by that afternoon we were on the road. We arrived at 3:00 in the morning with warm reception of family who had waited up for us.

The wedding was on Saturday afternoon, so we had plenty of time to rest and get ready.

After the ceremony, it felt like FOREVER that we waited for Debbie and Seth to come out. The kids had fun running all around the temple grounds. I love the face Ameliah is making in this picture.

I was wearing my jacket and was still freezing my toes off, so Todd, being the wonderful man that he is, let me wear his jacket. Not super attractive for pictures, I know, but I didn't care because I was so COLD!
Mr. and Mrs. Olson.

Shortly after this family picture was taken, my battery died and I didn't have a back-up. So, I didn't get any pictures of the reception and missed a lot of photo ops while pictures were being taken.

It was a sacrifice, but we were sure glad we went. We love our Debbie and we were glad to support her and see her wedding. Another cool thing about us going is that it was the first time in 5 1/2 years that all 12 Conover siblings were together. I believe the last time was at our wedding.

We stayed with Julie and Tim that night, then we headed back home the next morning. It was a quick trip for how much driving we had to do, but felt it was well worth the effort.

Congratulations Debbie and Seth!
