Finally There Is Joy

 This week has been one filled with the ups and downs of life.  Isn't life always made up of the happy and the sad? The up and down? The hellos and goodbyes.? Friday night we had reason to celebrate one of the joys of life as our Granddaughter, Driana married her love...Jonathan..in a lovely ceremony and a fun reception with family and friends.  Driana is our first Grandchild.  She's the reason we became YaYa and PawPaw! She has brought so much happiness over the years and we have celebrated her journey threw her almost 26 years of life.  She found her vocation as a registered nurse helping hospice patients and their families.  She works hard and loves what she does and she loves her family.  We wish her and Jonathan all the happiness in the world.  Time has flown by and the little girl we babysat, shared  birthdays, watched cheerleading, basketball, and graduations has grown into a beautiful wife and maybe someday....a mother.  Best Wishes Driana and Jonathan!

The rings. I sure hope the real photographer did better than I did!

Jonathan wanted Kip to be there as the "Best Dog"! He was very well behaved and made everyone smile!

First dance.

The event center was very lovely and the food was good and I'm sure everyone had a great time. We did leave around 9pm as I was ready to call it a day.  Here's some final pics..

The Starkey men...minus Jordan who couldn't make it out from California but Craig...(blue shirt on the end!) came out from Portland, Oregon.  Unfortunately my Daughter-in-law and his kiddos couldn't make it because school is still in progress until  next week.

I was happy to spend the evening with my guys. We laughed and had a great time together.  It's this part of  life that helps make the rest all worth it.  Best wishes Driana and Jonathan. Enjoy the journey because it's a very fast ride.  We love you!
