Brigham City, Bridal Shower, & Brian Reagan

Dec 1
We drove to his parents the night before so we could be rested up for the following activities.
In the morning, Nate and I woke up early to do sealings in the Brigham City temple. Neither one of us have been inside yet, so it was quite exciting. We decided to do sealings to remember our own sealing in the temple a year ago. The temple was gorgeous! I was so impressed by how ornate and beautiful it was on the inside. GORGEOUS!
Afterwards, Nate helped his dad get the smoke fan thing in and I went with Barbara to the double bridal shower for Nate's cousins Tim and Ben. It was held at Aunt Sally's gorgeous house.

 The bridal shower of the Bitner side usually involves quilting a big blanket for the couple. Everybody pitches in and then Grandma Bitner finishes it. This was one side of one of the blankets. Why it is little boy cowboy fabric, I'm not sure.

 Nate's cousins have very different interests, but they both got little boy cowboy fabric.

 The food was delicious!!!

The brides to be, Kaitlyn and Carly Jo. Both of them met their fiances in high school and waited for them while they were on their mission in Brazil.

Ward Buddies!
I know Jessi (far left) from our married student ward in Logan. Turns out that after we moved from Logan, Karly and Nate's cousin moved in. Jessi is Carly Jo's sister. Small world!
It was good to catch up with both of them. Congrats to Karly and Dan on being pregnant! :)
After the shower ended, I headed back to work on my lesson plans for the following week of school. Later in the afternoon, Nate and I headed to Logan to finish up some Christmas shopping and go to dinner before the Brian Reagan concert. We were met by Seth, Brit, Emily, Rob and their two oldest daughters, Marri and Sophie. They were going to see Sara in her play, Christmas Carols.

 The place we ate at wouldn't give us the deal we got the last time we were there and so Nate got a bit aggressive. The managers finally agreed to do the deal and we enjoyed our meal.

After being stuffed with delicious food, we drove over the Eccles Center to laugh our heads off with Nate and Brittney's birthday gift.
Happy Birthday Nate!

The concert was hilarious! Brian Reagan was amazing! He had his friend open the act for him and when it was his turn, he tried some new acts we haven't heard before. I laughed so hard I started crying in the middle of the show. I'm so glad we were able to go. Thanks Seth, for the suggestion!
