What's On My Happy List?

July...what a month it was!

Here is a glimpse into our days

pre-wedding and after!

4th of July festivities..

We watched Bonka in the hometown parade...

Lilly Belle isn't sure how she feels

about early morning parades...

Wanted nothing to do with it...

until the taffy appeared!

My cute great niece was celebrating

her one year mark of coming home

from the NICCU...she's a

precious miracle!

First time for Brady

at the 4th of July Murray parade.

His mom and sister joined us too as they were

here two weeks before the wedding.

We had our traditional KFC

on Aunt Dori's patio

and then swam in her pool!

Brady's little sister was celebrating

her 13th b-day

on July 4th!

We watched the fireworks from the

Murray High School lawn...

some added excitement

provided by the sprinklers

coming on! 😂

On the 4th weekend we went on

one of our favorite hikes...

to the Payson Grotto!

Afterwards we stopped off

in Pleasant Grove

at one of the yummiest milkshake shops

called the Milk Shake Factory!

THE BANANA FOSTER...is the bomb diggity.

{gf too!}

Early July dinner group met at this

gem of a place.

The ambience was superb!

Kyleigh & sisters threw a bachelorette party for

Hannah with the bridal party and cousins attending...

Hannah's gifts to her bridesmaids...

Hannah and Brady received their

temple endowment on Tuesday, July 8th!

It was such a special day!

************************************

Two nights before the wedding

there were some super weird happenings

at gma C's in the middle of

the night...prowlers,

mysterious car left behind... police were called!

As if we didn't have enough going on 😩...UGH!

gett'in our toes purdy for the wedding...

finishing up wedding projects...

Brady's family hosted a

Wedding Dinner

the night before the wedding

at Traverse Lodge.

Brady has two siblings on missons...

so his mom had life-size cardboard

cut-outs of them made!

Costa Vida catered...

mini Nothing Bundt Cakes for dessert...

I put together a video of pictures of

Hannah and Brady growing up that was shown

throughout the evening...

heartwarming speeches and thoughtful gifts

were given,

and an enlightening get-to-know the bride and groom

game was also played.

It was a lovely evening of celebration.

afterwards.... a late night pick up of flowers

from the florist!

July 12th

Happy Wedding Day!!!!...

{Since this post is already so long 😅

I'll make a separate post of just

wedding photos}

*********************

The morning after the wedding

was the taping of the

5,000th episode

of The Music and the Spoken Word.

I knew I HAD to be there regardless of how

tired I was from wedding day!

{Wouldn't have missed it for the world.}

I just sat and cried and cried lol

mixture of all the feels...soaking

in the spirit of the glorious music,

the connection my little mama, Lilly Belle

and I have with choir,

PLUS all the mixed feelings

that come post wedding,

OH MY!

I was sorta a mess!

😂

I was one of the 1,000 + that sent in a tribute

to the choir...

A Tribute to the Tabernacle Choir on their 5,000th Broadcast

The music of the Tabernacle Choir has been one of the greatest joys of my life. My Sundays are not quite complete without “Music and the Spoken Word.” I’m so happy to be celebrating the Choir’s 5,000th episode this Sunday—a milestone that reflects not only remarkable consistency, but also a legacy of spiritual beauty and inspiration.

It’s difficult to fully express what the Choir means to me. Their music has brought me peace, comfort, and countless moments of joy. Thank you for helping me feel the Spirit so consistently through your music.

My 93-year-old mama, who recently passed, absolutely adored the Tabernacle Choir. I had the privilege of caring for her in my home for the last six years of her life. Nearly every day, we could hear the beautiful sounds of the Choir in our home—Now, every time I hear the Choir, I think of my sweet mama.

The Choir’s music also bridges generations in my family. Through your music my 19-month-old granddaughter, Lilly Belle, shares a special connection with me (and her grandma-great when she was alive.) On Lilly Belle’s very first morning home from the hospital—a quiet Sunday morning—I introduced her to the Music and the Spoken Word while her parents tried to get some much needed rest. In the weeks and months that followed, the choir's music became our go-to remedy for fussy moments. We knew we could count on Lilly Belle’s 360 friends to calm her down! That first year of her life we spent many peaceful, sacred hours together listening to the Choir, and I treasure those memories.

I look forward to the day when Lilly Belle is old enough to join me at the Tabernacle Choir’s Christmas Concerts—a cherished tradition of mine since I first attended in 2004. Every year, all I want for Christmas is a ticket to that concert. It simply wouldn’t feel like Christmas without it.

To the Choir, thank you for the years of ministry through music. You’ve been the soundtrack of so many joyful, sweet moments in my life—and I’m just one of many whose lives have been enriched by your gift. Here’s to 5,000 more.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Angie Cooper
