Saturday, my little girl Sarah married my wonderful new son-in-law, Zach Davis, in Wheaton, IL where they go to school. Since Paul and Mia had a one-week break from school, we were able to fly to Chicago and spend the preceding week helping with the wedding preparations, visiting auntie Sandi and meeting Zach's parents, Dale and Jody. After hours of bantering on the fair number of cows to be given as a bride price the wedding was allowed to proceed.
