One Fish, Two Fish, Dead Fish, A New Fish

Whytnee's family decorated the tables at the wedding reception with betta fish.  It was a little impractical for my taste, but definitely unique.  When I realized that there were fish centered on every table, I thought, "What are they going to do with all these fish?"  My question was answered at the end of the evening when Whtynee's mom asked if we wanted a fish.  We are kind of anti-pets at our house, so I had to think about it and decided to just ask Molly.  She, of course, said, "Yes," so we took home a fish.

We stopped at the Evil Wal-Empire on the way home to buy some fish food and we set it on our kitchen table.  On the ride home, Molly said to name it "Bobby," but then the next morning decided to name it "Bear," and then more specifically, "Panda Bear" or "Polar Bear."

It swam around all day Sunday, but on Monday morning it had burrowed into the blue rocks at the bottom of the vase.  I wiggled the vase a little and it came loose, slowly floating to the top.  Um . . .  it was dead.

I thought maybe we had fed it too much.  James thinks that in Molly's excitement Sunday morning she actually touched it when she put her finger in the vase and that killed it.  I don't know what happened, but it died.

We thought about it for a while and then decided to give the pet fish thing a try and go buy one.   The new one's name is also "Bear."  It's been alive for 2 whole days.

Wedding Day!

Jarrell and Whytnee got married on Saturday.  It was a great day with good weather and blue sky.  Here are the highlights:

• Marriage ceremony at the Brigham City Temple - the temple was really pretty!
• Lunch at Maddox Lodge - food choices were Trout, Turkey Steak, or Fried Chicken.  James and Jason were critical of the fried chicken, but my turkey steak was good.  My only complaint is that they didn't bring enough rolls around to use up all the honey butter and raspberry butter.
• 45 minute layover at our house for us, Annie's family, Jason, and Amber
• Reception in American Fork at Whytnee's church
• Jason rode down to American Fork with us and Amber rode back home with us afterward.
• Everyone in the immediate Binggeli Family was in attendance except for Colton, who was not permitted to leave Fort Carson since he and Amber have just barely been moved there from North Carolina.

Senior Night

The Hunter Wolverines have had a pretty good basketball season this year and have been perfect in region play (with one more game to go).  They are headed to the state tournament next week and we hope they get to make it to the second round.

Friday night was "Senior Night" and the last time we'll get to watch Uncle Willie play basketball at Hunter High School.  Of course this kid will go on to bigger and better things in his life, but I will miss this.
