Happy Birthday Vic

Happy Birthday Uncle! Did you know it snowed yesterday? Did you know it snowed on Paul's birthday too? Weird (and what does that have to do with wishing you a happy birthday? I don't know). Just wanted you too know that we love you soooo much! We are thinking about you and Molly and Lucy and praying for you every day- right now especially.

Wishing you happiness, peace and hope for your birthday.

Honeymoon Pics

And We're Back

Honeymoon over. We both had a real good time. I assume all of you know where we went? On a cruise! I didnt find out what we were doing or where we were going til we got off the plane it Miami, and a Carnival Cruise employee was waiting to pick us up. It stopped in Grand Cayman, Roatan (an island off the coast of Honduras), Belize, and Cozumel (an island off mexico). We did a lot of swimming, but none of the other fun shore excursions. They were way to expensive. We got a lot of sun, and ate way too much. We didn't take very many pictures, but I'll post some when I next get a chance. Did everyone get home safely and have a fun time? I saw a few of the pics on this blog and on Wendy's. I have only seen this picture from our photographer, but hopefully we'll get the rest back soon and get them posted.
Last night we opened up presents with Thads parents and Mom and Dad. We got a lot of good stuff, and a few things to return. So now it's time to set up house. Thanks everyone for coming, and for helping at the reception. Love ya!

Ahh- wedded bliss!

Little Rachel was so cute in her dress! She kept smiling but I couldn't seem to catch it on camera! All the girls wore pink! It was great!

Our last look of the new bride and groom! Jack and Grant got to help decorate the car- they did a good job! Peggy and Thad are on a cruise to the western carribean- Casumel! They will be home sunday?
These three monkeys were having a great time watching all the chaos. And making chaos.

"Who, Me?" Yes you! Who else got married today! Cut the cake already!

Married! Our first look at the couple as they left the temple! You can't see in these pictures-(but as most of us know) the trees had so many blossoms! And the petals were falling so soft and pretty! I was awe-struck! What a gorgeous day!!! And a gorgeous bride! You're cute too, Thad!

Thadeus the NEW Uncle!!!

Every Monday in Allie's class they get 2 min. to talk about whatever they want (for several weeks she talked about how she was allergic to chocolate- not all chocolate, just hot chocolate. Not sure where that came from but I guess it made the kids laugh so she kept it up- week after week). This past Monday though, Allie talked about her NEW uncle who is so cool and wonderful! According to her teacher she went on and on about about how great he was. The teacher asked why he is so great and she said something like "Well, he married my aunt".

Enough said. :o) If Aunt Peggy chose him, he has GOT to be AWESOME!!! Because, as we all know, Aunt Peggy is pretty AWESOME herself.

WELCOME Uncle Thad!!!

From the Bice Girl

This is a blog to all my in-laws. It is a blog to say thank you for loving me. After the wedding and all the weekend festivities, I had an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for all of you. Lately, I have been overwhelmed and amazed as I look back (and as I look presently) on those in my life who chose to not "turn away" from our pain when Lucy died. It is not an easy thing to face, and the repercussions of that loss and the on-going pain mean complicated emotions and behavior for me. So I wanted to thank you for being patient and kind with me. Thank you for loving and supporting me and Vic. It is no secret that I get overwhelmed when the entire family gets together. After seven years of marriage I am still trying to adjust. And since becoming a mother, going through such a huge trauma, and trying to re-adjust and learn who I am again, I know I can whine and complain about my lack of sleep and other areas of my life. In truth, I know I am very blessed and am so grateful you are my family. I know Vic loves and needs each of you. He keeps so much locked up inside in order to put on his armor everyday and go fight for our family. So thank you for being a light in his life as well, especially when I am unable to give him light myself sometimes.

I had such a great time at the wedding dinner, going on a run with Kristyn, hosting some of you at our home, walking around Temple Square, and gorging myself in the chocolate and cheese fountains. (They should make life-size fountains of that stuff in public parks...). Peggy was beyond beautiful, and Peter had the time of his life with all the cousins.

Sassy and different as my background may be, I still love you all.

Happy Birthday Paul!
