Mr. and Mrs. Henstra

      We took more pictures, but this is one of the few that have surfaced so far...

Theresa is all business, waiting for the ceremony to start.  They got married at the church with close friends and family....perfect little celebration.  Dave and I both cried.

The ceremony was small, short and sweet.  It is so surreal to witness your own child being married.  Such a mixture of emotions--pride, sadness, celebration, excitement.  I am so happy that she found a great guy.  It is exciting to see them begin their lives together.

Dad's Retirement Party

 

After 38 years at Kennecott, dad got to hang up his hard hat for good.  My Uncle Wayne organized a retirement party to celebrate.  It was great to spend time at good old Magna Park; I had so many memories at that park as a kid.  Dad's brothers and sisters came to help us celebrate.  I was so touched when my Aunt Carmen thanked dad for being a good big brother and teaching his siblings to work hard and to put family first.  Dad thanked mom for all of her support over the years, it brought a tear to my eye.  I had to laugh when mom replied by saying "Oh, he just wants a piece of a**!"

Everyone got a good chuckle out of that.

It was so great to hang out with the other half of my cool family earlier this month.  Becca came to visit from Dallas with her two sons.  Dave's mom also came down to spend time with us.  It was cute watching the boys play and we enjoyed just hanging out.  Dave's little brother Ed came over for dinner  along with his family. 

 

We have missed Becca so much!  I can't wait to make our way to Dallas to see them again :0)

Angie Mack, RN! (and other news)

   I passed my boards! 

I am so excited right now! This is really happening! 

I have had a busy couple of weeks.  Dave's little sister, Becca and her sons came to see us.  We had a great time catching up with them.  My mother in law was also in town, we all spent the week together--doing things around town, hiking, cooking and relaxing.  I did manage to squeeze some study time in there, too.  I had a great time being Aunt Angie and playing with my nephews, Jaxon and Izaiah.  We even got to spend some time with Dave's brother and his family (and nephews Quentin and Owen). 

Then, up to Salt Lake this weekend for the big event!  The test was hard, I panicked many times......but I would close my eyes and say a little prayer.  I kept hearing my amazing nursing instructor, Dr Julie Chew tell me "You don't know it all, you will never know it all; but you know enough" in my mind.  And, that was enough help to get me to the right answer.  And, the lucky red shoes helped.

Drew came back down to St George with me to look for a job and get ready to start college.  He wants to study criminology at Dixie State. 

That's all the news for now........I will post pics of our family visit later ;0)

Hunter High Commencement

We had a great time in Salt Lake this weekend!  There was so much to celebrate together......Drew's grad, Dad's retirement.  It was great to get hugs from my extended family (even if they made me cry because they are so proud of me.  But, I didn't want to steal the glory from my dad and Drew.  It was their moment to shine.

Thanks to Ella (Jeremy's mom and Drew's grandma) for putting on a pre graduation party for us

The graduate.....so proud

I am glad that we could come together as different families to support Drew.  He is lucky to have so many people that love him
