We are sooo happy that Cody found a perfect match for him in Whitney.  They are both amazingly strong, kind, intelligent, spiritual individuals…it will be exciting to see what great things they can accomplish together in this life and in the eternities! We recently returned from a fabulous trip to Utah where they sealed for [...]

I was lucky to get into town just in time for Whitney’s Briday Shower, put on by her mom, Kathy.  It was held at a relative’s home in Provo, and I took my sister Samantha with me and two of her daughters, Tristan and Ashton.

One of the cool things about the wedding is that I got to spend time with family (the “mini” family reunion).  My whole family lives in Utah and I live in Georgia…so it’s not always easy to do that.  We stayed at my sister’s house and the kids got to see their cousins.  I also [...]

Cody and Whitney were married at 9am on a beautiful Saturday morning in the Salt Lake Temple.

Whitney’s family is from Sugar Land, Texas, which is just Southwest of Houston.  Two weeks after they got married, we made a trip down to Texas for the second and last Reception for them. After we left the Atlanta Metro Area…we were in totally un-discovered territory for all of us, except Frank…who has been everywhere.  [...]

Frank’s mom is German.  She was a young child during WWII and she and her family suffered much due to the atrocities of war.  Frank’s parents recently wrote a book about her experiences.  It is called, “Escape from Hellfire to Freedom,”  and was recently spotlighted in Das Fenster Magazine (“America’s oldest and most popular German language [...]
