Well, I'm back. Whoopee!
It has been a VERY hectic week.
Got into Phoenix at about 8:20AM on Thursday. Spent most of the day decorating the Cultural Hall at the chapel for the reception. Finally left there about 6:00PM.
My oldest son had come down with my mom, my sister, and my niece and two nephews, so we all got together and talked for a while. A little later, another sister, along with her husband, five boys, and her mother-in-law arrived. So, we all went to a nearby restaurant for a late evening snack, along with lots of conversation.
Friday dawned hot and very humid. It is monsoon season in Phoenix, so the temperature was about 102F (almost 40C), with 65% humidity. It didn't rain the entire time we were there, but we kept hoping it would!
At 10:30, my daughter was sealed in the Mesa, Arizona Temple. I served as one of the witnesses.
For the following TWO HOURS the photographer was taking pictures of them around the Temple! I finally gave up and sat in the foyer of the temple, where there was at least a little bit of air conditioning.
The reception that evening was a great success. We had some surprise guests, such as two of my mother's cousins who live in the Phoenix area, along with my daughter's old YW leader, who is in my daughter's new ward. There was plenty of good food, wonderful company, and even (very little *YEAH!*) dancing.
Yes, I did tear up a couple of times during the day. But I am very, very happy with the choices she has made.
We left Phoenix Sunday afternoon. We finally arrived in Michigan at noon today. Except for an 8 hour sleep in a motel, we drove straight through. Over 36 hours of drive time.
We are all really beat this evening. I can't imagine why.
