Mom Forsberg

In the spring of 1997 you came to visit Dana shortly before the wedding.  Dana was home and we were preparing everything for the upcoming nuptials. You took us all by surprise and arrived in Springfield and looked so different than when we had met you a year earlier and different than all of the pictures we had seen.  Unfortunately, you were just recouping from having the chicken pox.  You had been so ill that you had lost a lot of weight and shaved your hair all off. Dana was so happy to see you and have you be a part of getting ready for July 10th.

You were both young and very much in love and it was fun having you spend a few days with us. We were able to get to know our future son-in-law and see the prospects of our daughter's future.

And...

After graduating from Ricks College you embarked on a cross country trip to visit with us and then head down to Florida for your internships with Disney.  You were both so excited to be working for Disney and the trip was just icing on the cake.  You two had adventures along the way but the best call came from Dana when she called to say that Delilah, the little dog you were traveling with, just had puppies at Grandma and Grandpa Van Den Berghe's house!

This was a surprise to both of you and a special gift for us!  It was exciting for Kirstin, Anders and Jamie to have little pups to care for.  Delilah was an extra bonus as well.  Poor Barney didn't know what had happened.  They were adorable puppies and Delilah was a good mom.  it was great watching the pups grow and it offered us a lot of fun and excitement for the next seven weeks.  You and Dana had a good visit with us including painting the foundation of the house, tubing, Dana being run over, and a canoe on top of the Trooper!  It was a relaxing time and fun to get to see the bond that you had as a couple and the growth that you had both made.  Finally it was time for you to leave to get down to Florida.  You left and we had an additional seven dogs to care for!
