The "C" Family













So this past summer I finally got the chance to do a photoshoot of one of my immediate family members. My brothers family! I am proud to say this cute family is apart of my family...times 2 literally! I chose this song "Keeper of the Stars" for their post because we have ALWAYS said that for any family reunions we may have...(which we had no idea at the time we, 3 out of the 4 kids in my family would end up in the same town) we said that this song was going to be our family reunion song. A short summary of how this couple met is very neat...some of you may know the story already but for those of you who don't it is a very neat story so sit back and enjoy! So 35+ years ago my Dad served his mission for our church all the way across the ocean in Scotland,UK. He there taught and baptized many people but there was one particular family that he taught and who were baptized and became members of our church that is dear to us,  that was the "J" family. The "J" family always kept in touch with my Dad throughout the years even after his 2 years of his mission were through. Years and years passed and my Dad was married to my Mom and they had 4 children, and the "J" family too were adding more childen to their family at this time. Well, to try and make this short Mr. and Mrs. "J" came to visit my Mom and Dad and us(their kids) about 14years ago. Then about 3 years later one of Mr. and Mrs."J's" daughters came across to live with our family just for a few months doing an internship here in the U.S. while my older brother was on a mission. She left and my older brother returned home from his mission and we insisted he go to visit Mr. and Mrs. "J's" daughter in scotland..so he did for 1 week. Before he returned home..they were engaged!! They now have  3 beautiful children. That's a short story of  how these two met. Wait!!! the story isn't quite finished...Soooo at the wedding I met one of her brothers and fell IN LOVE!! He was heading out on a mission for 2 years, 1 month later so we kept in touch and wrote throughout those two years and when he returned I went over to good ol' Bonnie Scotland and we too were engaged and were married that same year he returned home. So I married her brother and she married my brother..NEAT huh!! So needless to say I had to post this song for this familys post because we are truly thankful for the "Keeper of the stars" because he definitly had a hand in it, LONG before we all ever knew.
