A Graduation and A Wedding!

Robert Morris Bell graduated from Emory University with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy on May 14, 2012!  Rob also was a speaker at his class graduation as he served as the president of the class for the last three years.  He did such a great job, his talk was funny, motivational and even sentimental.  Dan and I were so proud!  This is the only picture I have right now, borrowed from Schaefers' facebook.  I lost my camera on the way home from the trip and all my graduation pictures are only in my memory now!  :(

Here we are in front of the building where Rob spent most of his time while at Emory. (The School of Medicine) The day went well, after starting off a little wet!  The main graduation was outdoors and we sat under umbrellas the whole time, just getting soggy!

So. . .5 days later, May 19, 2012, Rob and Schaefer were sealed for eternity in the LDS Salt Lake Temple!  It was a beautiful day, a gorgeous bride and a handsome groom.  I joked that they could be on the cover of a magazine with this picture!

Rob, as he was leaving to pick Shaefer up to go to the temple!  What a smile!  I'd say there is one happy guy!

Schaefer and Rob just coming out of the temple after being married!

Bliss. . .

By the way, we immediately fell in LOVE with Shaefers' family!  What a blessing they are to us and Rob and Schaefer.  Now we know why Schaefer is so wonderful.

And finally, no post is complete without some kind of sewing project!  Here is a picture of the quilt I made for Rob and Schaefer.  I also made pillow shams and extra pillows to decorate the bed.  Somehow we got it all back to Georgia!
Speaking of Georgia, we went the next week for the ring ceremony and reception there.  As I said before, my camera was lost, so I will post pictures from that party once I can get some.  It was such a beautiful setting.  We are so blessed to have added a new daughter to our family. . .
