Our Long Awaited Update

Well...after a few months I decided I should probably update the blog again. It seems to slip my mind quite often.
We all had a wonderful at Leisha's wedding and at the beach. The wedding went perfectly and we're glad to have Jon a part of our family now. Our beach house was very nice. We had plenty of room for everyone and more since we weren't really downstairs much. The beach was just a walk away and it was very convenient for us. We had Kyrie, Fabian and Katherine Zender come and visit us regularly and play in the ocean with us. We all had a wonderfuly time. Now Leisha and Jon are living in Valdosta and plan to attend Valdosta State this coming semester.
After we got back from vacation we had the reception which also went very nicely. It turned out beautifully. Also...Dave's sister, Lori, invited us to come and see her son, Bendigo, graduate from basic training in the Army in Kentucky. So Renee, Dave and I (Beth) all attended a wonderful ceremony for him. I think we all respect the troops a little bit more. He graduated as a Calvary Scout and is now in Colorado for additional training.
Our temple has been closed for rennovation for 18 months we are sad to say. So needless to say we have to travel a few hours to the temple either in Tennessee or Alabama. With this in mind a couple of our friends invited us to attend their marriage sealing at the Tennessee temple. So we drove about 3 hours and had a wonderful time celebrating another marriage for time and all eternity. What a wonderful blessing it is to have that available to us. We are so grateful for this gospel of Jesus Christ.
So all in all we've had a pretty eventful few months. It was all so wonderful and we're grateful for the time we had to share with family and friends.
I will post some pictures very soon. Until next time......
