Jessica's Reception

By
The celebration continued tonight.  After the grand wedding, the party moved to an LDS chapel in Provo, UT.  The air of excitement seemed to be amplified, as more friends came to congratulate the newlyweds.  After the photo shoot, the family and guests arrived at the chapel, already decorated with a beautiful canopy by Wedding Works Design.  At the center stake was a table for the black Love in a Box with candy to fill.  One table at the edge housed the wedding cake and cupcakes Melinda created.  Another table served the chicken and food.  Yet another table was for the presents.  At the front table, guests signed their names on the back of Henry and Jessica’s photo.  Jessica displayed the history of how they met on a nice display.  The DJ was seated at another table.  The guests sat at about 10 to 15 round tables.

The emcee was Jay McNamara, father of the best man.  Although it was his first time, he did a fabulous job in his natural humorous tone.  After eating at the buffet, the emcee invited the parents of the groom and bride  to speak, as well as the best man, one bridesmaid, and the matchmaker.  Then the groom had the first dance with the bride.  The bride's father was invited to dance with her next, and others were invited.  Other dances proceeded throughout the evening, including the limbo.  Near the end, the bride threw the bouquet and the garter.  The bride and groom cut the first slice of the cake.  At 9pm, the bride and groom went to the front door and greeted everyone as they left for their get-away car through lighted lanterns.

Christmas in Utah

By
This Christmas we decided to fly Breeze Airlines from Dulles Airport to Provo, UT.  And it was a breeze.  We were able to see Grace performance her dance.  Afterwards, she and her siblings had a photo op with Santa. We also were able to attend Sofia's Christmas concert at school.  Can you see Sofia? Our long-awaited family group photo at the Utah State Capitol turned out beautifully despite the cold.  Thanks, Veronica, for taking the photos. We are grateful for the time we had to spend time with our family during Christmas and New Years Eve.

Happy Holidays 2024

By
2024 was Ben's first full year of retirement from full-time federal government service. However, he decided to continue teaching engineering classes part-time at the local Montgomery College and fulfilled a dream this fall in teaching a math class. He picked up pickle ball, worked on family history, and started other projects. This year Li-Fang served as a counselor in the Relief Society Presidency at church and coordinated almost weekly activities for the women. Among these were rehearsals for line dance, social dance, and Latin dance. She is still having fun teaching private piano to more than a dozen students and art and sewing at VisArts. In the summer, we visited our children in Utah and returned to Taiwan. We are grateful for life and its many beautiful blessings.   Merry Christmas from the Lin's! Life is good; kids are growing… In January, Trey is going to Primary and Blake will be going to Young Men's! Grace is still everyone’s frie...

Happy Holidays 2025

By
What an amazing year 2025 was for our family! Our list of adventures included a family reunion with my brothers in Chicago, a relaxing trip to Williamsburg and Virginia Beach with Jessica and Joshua, and a Church history tour of Palmyra and Kirtland with church friends. It was our first year of enjoying our first hybrid car. Having to add gas only once a month has simplified life and made it all worthwhile. We share our gratitude of these many blessings and hope that you, the reader, will have received lots of blessings as well this past year and many more in the coming year. This year, Ben has taught half-time at the local Montgomery College. He is serving as the mission leader at church to help new converts with the aid of the full-time missionaries. Li-Fang is enjoying herself by teaching oil painting and sewing at VisArts in Rockville and still continues to teach private piano. She is serving in the Relief Society, the women's organization in our church. Be...
