Love you Family! Thank you!

Ok - not to monopolize (sp?) the blog - but - I had to share something -

Its a new month today - and so I have to turn my calendar at work - Doing that the last two months has been hard!

August was our wedding pictures - and September was our family picts in our Hinz shirts with the Title The Lord Bless you and keep you!

I have loved these pictures and they constantly remind me how incredibly blessed I am! When I look at them I am in amazement at that week/weekend! You all did so much for us! Just by being there and surrounding us would have been enough - but you came in and worked and worked! Thank you all so much for everything!

Thank you for setting up and taking down and moving furniture and decorating and sewing and taking care of schedules and cakes and sorting jewelry and beading and sharing your musical gifts and cooking and running errands and telling stories and laughing - it just blows me away every time i look at the pictures! (and your working AND smiling )

It blew everybody else away also! I kept telling ppl - don't worry - the family is coming! and they would look at me kinda cross eyed (and think - yeah because family will make this craziness better - some of them even said it outloud!) But you all road into town like the calvary and worked and laughed and played - and stunned most everybody who didn't know ya! People asked who i hired to decorate the hall - and who our wedding cordinator was - and who feed all these ppl that where in town - and who helped sew - and who where all these musicians - and i just kept saying - the family - the family - the family!!

I think Bob Morris (- matt's friend - he is the big ex-NFL player married to the hilarious petite lady Linda who read one of our scripture passages - ) said it best when he was telling ppl at their christmas party about the wedding

"we went to this wedding and it was like the partridge family and the brady bunch wedding - everybody in it was family - everybody had all this talent - everywhere you looked was more family - and they finished it off with everybody singing the ending! it was like a movie set!"

and i must agree with bob! so thanks - and know its NOT forgotten - I remember and am thankful for you guys all the time!

Lots of Love
