Reception Dinner Through Terina's Eyes

Before we left for California Terina got a camera. She always tries to take ours and I finally broke down and found one of those kid tough ones for her. My camera battery had died from Disneyland so the only camera we had was Terina's.
THe dinner was at Kelly's house. Kelly is a women who lived in Kim's families ward. She had a house and was alone. Her husband died and her childern didn't visit often I guess. Anyways she had agreed to let Jake stay at her home and she wanted to throw a dinner for Jake and Kim. Her house was amazing! She is such a wonderful women and I'm really glad that I got to talk to her. She was very kind and loving and seemed to say some of the things that I really needed to hear. Kelly did a lot for Jake and I'm so glad that he was taken care of in California. Anyways.. the pictures from the dinner may be a little blurry but you need to remember that Terina took them.
The back yard had a little waterfall and Terina was really liking the duck that was in there. I think that's what she was trying to take a picture of.
There was part of the back yard that was like a little stage area. I don't know how to discribe it but that's where we were sitting. You could see across the back yard to the little "bar" area and the other tables. The dinner was nice. They played a slide show and had time for everyone who wanted to to get up and say something about Jake and Kim. It was really nice and very emotional for me. I didn't say anything due to my pride and me just being me. I had a nice time sitting with my brothers and listening to them talk about things going on in their lives. I love them all very much. There was even a Pirate there! I think JerDear did this but I thought it was a funny picture of Mike and now Terina always says "Arr" when she see's a picture of Mike
