Hope you're having a great start to the week and had a great weekend. Emma and I went to a dear friend's wedding this weekend at the Laurel Ridge Event Barn. It was amazing to see two beautiful souls begin a great journey together. It reminded me of a crew member celebrating her 40th wedding anniversary this month.
Back in November of 1986, she and her husband came to Sioux Falls to elope. They got their marriage license and then got married the same day.
Congrats to crew member KC. Happy wedding anniversary to you :))
Enjoy this issue and have a great time in Sioux Falls this week. ~ Godwin
