Susanna and Jay Got Married!

On October 7th, Susanna got married to Jay. They started dating at the end of February this year and got officially engaged in July. So there wasn't a lot of time to plan but it worked out. It was kind of a stressful evening for me trying to make sure that we had everything we needed and it was a relief when it was all over. As usual, I should have worried less--I think that's the theme of my life.

The dinner went okay thanks to my friends' help. The potato casserole ran out and we could have used more despite Everett running to Costco for me to get a few scalloped potato casseroles. We did have plenty of rolls. We ran out of cake and ice cream. Most of the ham and fruit was eaten. The salad was not so popular. But overall it went fairly well and I think Susanna and Jay were happy. Here are some of the pictures we got from the wedding:

The weather was beautiful and the mountains were colorful. Coray Tate, our former bishop, married them and did a really great job. Scott made the backdrop the Saturday before when it looked like the weather was going to cooperate. Heidi made the garland for it with a small amount of help from me.

Congratulations, Susanna and Jay!

2024 Hansen Family Reunion, Wednesday

Recently we had another Hansen Family Reunion at Bear Lake. We've been having these destination reunions since 2008. There were about 70 of us in attendance. Bruce and Michelle organized the activities and did a good job. I enjoyed myself! Hopefully lots of other people did too. We showed up on Wednesday afternoon and enjoyed a taco salad dinner, served by Neil and Kristie's family. We also worked on two mixer games: a word search with the names of all 100 Hansen family members as well as a Bingo card that involved finding people with different attributes like recent high school graduation, birthdays in certain months, etc. The word search was definitely the most popular. Also popular was playing Nine-Square and Sandy Pickle (a cross between pickle ball and badminton). Thys and Katrina might have won! After dinner, we had an FHE activity/lesson. Liz had made a book with stories of the first ancestors to join the church. She had selected different stories for us to act out in g...
