Reception

While we were in the States for our three week visit, my parents had a reception so that my friends and family would have a chance to meet my new husband. I wish that I had thought to take my guest book along so that I could have had a record of who attended our second reception. It was a wonderful day with friends and family coming from near and far. The only close family member absent was my niece, Mandy, and her family, who live in Georgia. My brother and his family made the journey from Kansas. All of my uncles and aunts as well as four of my cousins and three of their children were present. Two of my mom's cousins even came all the way from Kentucky! Pastor and Mrs. Morgan, whom I worked with in Berlin, made the journey from their home in southern Pennsylvania. It was a truly special day. Please forgive my over-indulgence on the number of photographs that I am about to share from such a wonderful day.
