The Nolden Family

We recently took an AmAzInG family trip to Tennessee. We visited the Gatlinburg area of Tennessee, which is 5 hours from our Georgia home. None of us had ever been there, so it was a great adventure for us. We discovered that it is a mecca for family vacations…there is sooo much to do there! [...]

We had some really nice weather in February of 2011.  It was a little too nice…because the allergy season started about 4 weeks early.  But overall it was a good thing and we were able to get out and enjoy nature a little bit after being inside all winter.  This is a place near Covington, [...]

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.

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

Here are more photos from the morning of the wedding.  The kids couldn’t go into the temple for the ceremony, so they waited outside on Temple Square for a little while. 

The reception was GORGEOUS!!!  Whitney’s family had a friend with a beautiful home that sat right on the banks of the Provo River in North Provo.  The backyard was lush and fantastic.  I wish I had gotten a lot of pictures…I am waiting to see the ones from the photographer.  I was so busy talking [...]

We had to leave for home early the morning after the wedding to get kids back to Georgia for school.  We drove the whole 31 hours and only stopped for food and potty breaks.  It’s 31 hours if you don’t stop.  I drove from 3am to 9am, while Frank slept…and he drove the rest.  It [...]
