A few weeks ago, we were able to watch (live on the internet) our youngest son (Timothy) graduate with his Civil Engineering degee from Georgia Tech. Although the broadcast froze while they were calling his name, we were able to capture the screen shot below:
A week later, Tim’s wife (Caitlyn) graduated with her Nursing degree from Mercer University:
Congratulations to Tim and Caitlyn! We’re so proud of you both!
While Caitlyn was graduating, we were flying from China to the west coast for another special event: Stephen (our oldest son) and Jessica’s wedding! For the occasion, they rented the Timber Moose Lodge in Utah:
This was not your ordinary cabin – it came with many amenities including an indoor pool:
Jessica’s dad volunteered to be the cook and did a great job:
Since Stephen and Jessica enjoy adventure, the five-day gathering included many non-traditional wedding activities, such as rock climbing:
ATV riding: 
Hiking:
and an evening of laser tag (inside the lodge):
Gratefully, the weather was good for the outdoor wedding that Friday, and the bride and groom enjoyed a “first look” at one another:
and then vowed to always love each other:
Of course, we were all dressed up for the occasion:
Even the grandsons (and their daddy):
Before leaving China, Susan asked some of our students to help her shop for very tall shoes:
She jokingly wore them to try to close the height gap for the mother-groom dance:
We are so happy to welcome Jessica to our family! May was a milestone month: all of our kids are now graduated and married. We are so thankful for God’s blessing on our family!
Great pictures! So nice to see the happy bride and groom. Susan, if I had tried to even walk in heels like that, let alone dance, I’m sure I would have fallen.
Such wonderful, happy memories for the family. Everyone looked beautiful at the wedding. Especially you, mom!!
Great pictures from the wedding as well as from the graduation. Love the comment that all the “kids” are both graduated and married! Good gifts to be grateful for this year. Agree with Barb on those seriously high heels, Susan—we’re impressed. 🙂 Thanks, y’all, for sharing these with us.
