December 2015: Trip to Salt Lake--Part 3

It was a long day of waiting until the banquet was over. I missed all the speeches by both sides of the bride and groom's family, but luckily, Mike recorded the whole thing for me! It was great to watch the footage, especially when Gordon and Taylor spoke. They are both very good, faithful individuals, and they will be great together! It was wonderful to see so many of the Lemmon family together. They are special and dear to us.

My dear, sweet Shauna and son Jacob--they were fun to have along!
I love you guys and your precious Tyler and Elise too!!!
On the way back to New Mexico, we hit some really bad weather in Utah and Colorado
The visibility was awful, and the roads were slick and icy. We were averaging 25 mph!
Check out this semi-truck that slid off the road in Colorado

And near Cortez CO, there were 15 cars and 6 semi-trucks piled up with no way around them.After hours of being stuck in that traffic jam, we finally turned around and found an alternate route to NM. Due to the weather, instead of 12 hours, it took us 16 hours to return home!
