News of Auburnights

Well as you must of heard by now, the big news from our family, Sara is getting married to Gary Gray. They will be sealed together on Friday June 12th in the Oakland Temple. On Saturday June 13th there will be a family breakfast for both families, later that evening a reception will be held at the Abel's property. On June 27th a open house will be held in Pleasant Grove, Utah (were Gary & his family live) we are very excited for them.
Sara & Gary had come to Auburn for thanksgiving back in Nov. (at the time I thought it was just another boy in tow) So that weekend I did not spend much time with Gary, we (Placer High) were involved in football playoffs, so I was busy coaching and preparing for the upcoming game. We later learned things were getting serious. So Colleen and I went to Utah to spend some time with Gary and meet his family, We were very impressed with both. Gary and I sat down for a chat. I called it a chat, Gary thought it was an interview, Sara calls it the Inquisition. How ever you want to call it, Gary answered all the questions correctly, and he asked and received permission to take our beloved daughter to the House of the Lord and be sealed for Time and all Eternity. I hope all of our family can gather in Zion (Auburn for those of you who did not know were Zion is) in June to celebrate this event.
Colleen and Ron are experiencing the empty nest syndrome for the first time. We miss our children so very much. Colleen is still working in the mortgage business and is serving in the relief society presidency with her friend Bonnie Abel. Ron still does his property management and coaches at the high school. Ron was released from the Bishopric and was called to be the High Priest Group Leader.
Brandon is living large in San Louis O. Doing the school thing, Throwing on the Track team and finding new adventures, check out his facebook and his sand surfing. We are very proud of his progress and the great man he is turning into. I (DAD) just wish I could hear from him more I miss hanging out with him.

All is well here in Auburn, we hope to see you all in June
