Jared Christopher Ross was born on Tuesday, June 30th!! Besides a bit of jaundice, he and mom (my sister Kelsey) are doing well. This morning Vance and I got to see Jared and hold him. It was wonderful and just a taste of heaven. It was a great reminder of how much our Heavenly Father loves us and wants to bless us. This picture is stolen from Ken and Kelsey's blog. Here is Ken (who apparently has been an incredible husband and father through it all) with Jared!
Well Vance and I returned from the Kindt family reunion yesterday. We went shopping, parasailing, paddle boating, hydrobiking, had great meals (thanks to Mom!), spent time on beaches, got to know grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins better. It went so smoothly as well.
Tomorrow Vance and I will be going to a place near Zion's National Park in southern Utah for his Murray family reunion. I am really looking forward to it. It is such a strange feeling, though. Vance and I are getting married in 12 days, and tomorrow we are heading south for 5 days of vacation time. I mean, shouldn't we be running around doing errands? I suppose. We still have a bit of things to do anyway. But this reunion definitely will be great. I've met most of his extended family and all of his immediate family, but this week will be nice to spend time getting to know them better and strengthen those friendships.
Also, I want to talk about Vance. I loooove him a lot! He is so good and pure. He works hard, and is always trying to help others (including me) and make life easier for them (and me). He really knows how to look outward and is always trying to do what's right. Through his words and actions, I am really impressed daily by his goodness. He is going to be a great husband. I feel so blessed to be able to marry him in a few days and so glad that I waited for him!
