New York

Had a FABULOUS New York week-end. Main purpose: Attend Kristina and Kellen's wedding in the Manhattan Temple.
Kristina is a singer-dancer on the New York stage. She actually started a dancing club in Cardiff to off-set her education expenses. I played for her to sing at church and elsewhere. I also accompanied her dance recitals at the University of Cardiff. Good times! Here is our table...Kristina is a "detail" person. Every table was labeled as a part of New York...we were Central Park.
She designed this "faux" ceiling to hide the basketball scoreboard, etc... She had one friend with a sewing machine who sewed the seams and then they wired the fabric to the walls. I love purple too!
Here is the radiant bride. She finished her Doctorate in Bio Chemistry while we were there. Her husband is working on his Doctorate in Math. She asked us to be her "other" parents after we helped her through some rough times over there. She will fly in to Phoenix Sky Harbor...just to say "hello and I LOVE YOU." She regularly commutes between Cali and NY. Kristina is a professor at NYU and Columbia. She is one of the most humble, kind, loving, generous, thoughtful people I know. You would never know she is so talented and smart....you won't ever hear it from HER. People flew in from around the world to be with her that day...we felt honored to be there too.
