News from Jacqueline

Well, another Morton has come along and claimed one of my daughters! Wesley proposed to Rachel by the Ocmulgee River, on a little island attained by canoe ride, deep in the Oconee Forest. Our families had gathered for a camping trip, and we arrived very late Friday night. We were aroused from our sleeping bags early Saturday morning with a symphony of cello, guitar and violin, and before breakfast we followed the happy couple down the river a little bit and watched from the shore as Wesley escorted our Rachel across the river in the morning midst. She came back with a beautiful ring on her finger, signifying that she had accepted his proposal, but really, the grin on both their faces was all we needed to see! Congratulations Wesley and Rachel. We look forward to another grand Smith/Morton Wedding at the end of the summer 2007!
