There's an old joke about Mormons that asks, "How can you tell you're at a Mormon wedding?" The answer is, "The mother of the bride is pregnant." With Alyce's wedding, we have made a new wrinkle in the joke.
How can you tell you're at a Mormon wedding? The mother of the bride has a granddaughter getting married next month. That would be me--mother of the bride; my daughter Alyce--who got married in May; my granddaughter Sarah--to be married next month, June.
It's a funny joke, I think.
Here's what it means in terms of travel.
1. Salt Lake for my nephew Heber's wedding April 24. This is not part of the joke, however, and I know I didn't mention it above. Still.
2. Fly home April 25.
3. Salt Lake April 27 with Alyce--she arrived in Boise April 25--for a pre-wedding party in honor of the soon-to-be newlyweds given by Ben's Utah relatives.
4. Fly home April 28 for the wedding and reception and all other related business and celebrations here in Boise.
5. Pennsylvania May 21 for reception and party for B&A.
6. Fly home May 24.
7. Austin, TX, June 18 for Sarah's wedding June 20.
8. Fly home June 21 and try to figure out when I should go to Canadia for the birth of Richard and his Sarah's baby boy. Also not part of the joke. Baby due June 26.
I do not know why I should write this for public scrutiny/skimming. But here it is.

Thank goodness all this travel is for weddings and births instead of funerals.
Still, must be exhausting.
Just so people will realize you are not only mother of the bride but also mother of Southwest, Northwest, Delta, United, etc.
