This is the only picture I have to show for our whirlwind Thanksgiving weekend. It was too busy, fun, crazy and delicious to stop and take pictures. Plus, I forgot my good camera. But here is a glimpse of what Fran and I contributed for both sides of the family. No…not the turkey…the garlic mashed potatoes of course!
Besides spending time with family, we also got to attend a beautiful and intimate wedding. For the past couple of weeks, Fran has met with a couple at church for pre-marital counseling. He also had the privilege of officiating their wedding. It was such a blessing for Fran to share in their journey and for us to be part of their special day.
Dennis and Tessa got married the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. After a very short two days with family and friends, we drove back to make it for the wedding. We left San Francisco at 7pm and arrived in Portland at 5am. The wedding ceremony was at 4pm. Yes, we like to live on the edge.
Unfortunately, I forgot my real camera and once again was reduced to using my iPhone to take pictures. As a result, the images are very bad quality, but I thought I’d post them anyway.

I took this picture just as the wedding photographer took hers with flash.
I kinda like how it turned out…
