Aaron & Melissa's Wedding
The Day was July 11th. the Year 2008. It was a beautiful day, sunny skies,
high of 78. Everyone was busy bees doing their jobs. I don't know what the hussle and bussle was all about but for sure there was lots of sewing, cleaning and decorating. Then when everyone was in their dress clothes music began to play. There was a processional and we walked down the aisle. When everything was in order all eyes turned to the stairs at the sound of the "Bridal March". The Bride and her father appeared at the top of the stairs. Cameras began to flash but the Groom had only eyes for the lady dressed in White. As the bride approached with her father, her mother joined them for the last few steps. As Bro Taylor asked who gave this woman, the father said her mother & I. From my place beside the bride I could see those looking on. Some were crying others smiling but all were so happy to witness this moment. From there the ceremony flew by and soon we were hearing the annoucement of Mr. & Mrs. Aaron White. Oh the celebration and what a beautiful day for an outside wedding. Now they have begun their new life together and I (Gina) have not lost my sister but have gained a brother. This hopfully gives you a birdseye view of Aaron & Melissa's wedding from the Matron of Honor. It truly was my greatest joy to stand beside my only blood sister during the second biggest day of her life. May all of us who know Aaron and Melissa pray for them and support them in every way we can.
Aaron and Melissa if you read this Dan and I want you to know the we love you both and are praying for you.

Missoula Fire
What a suprise to get done eating supper and look out the window and see a fire on the mountain. The fire was going up the Mountain away from Missoula. It started right at the city but went up instead of in the town. Two Kids were playing with a phone book and matches and that caught the grass on fire. It took about 24hours to put it out.
Fire from Glenn & Nette's house
The helicopters have 1,000 gallon buckets attached and they dip out of the river to drop water on the fires.
We drove a little ways closer to get some better pics.
We were about as close as the Police would let us get.
From the bridge beside the University of Montana where the fire started.
A picture of the area the next day when they had it almost out.

Uncle Dan reading
Uncle Dan is right where the kids want anybody. They love to be read to. It was so cute one day Lauren who is 2 1/2 was sitting on the couch looking and pointing at places on the atlas. That pic is down below.
Jay listening to uncle Dan read.
Here is the picture of Lauren looking at the Atlas.

Some MT Beauty
My sister and I went for a walk up the Rattlesnake Trail the week of the wedding. These are some flowers along the way. I enjoyed being able to spend some time like this with Melissa.
My Sisters Birthday
My Sister Melissa had her birthday on July 6th. We celebrated it on the 5th by going to the national Bison Range. We had a really great time.

4th of July
Happy Birthday America!!!!!
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
