{ Sunday's Paper }

..

Yesterday's paper reported that we had a wedding

and boy did we ever!

The day was perfect

the bride was stunningly gorgeous

the groom ecstatically handsome

and both sets of parents could not be more proud!

Our home is still running over with company

and we are still enjoying every moment 

we possibly can.  

More pictures to follow!

{ A Blogging Break }

Okay, maybe not a "break" 

but just a little "nap" ;0)

Family and friends are beginning to arrive! 

As our homes and local hotels begin to fill with loved ones 

who have traveled so far to share this very special day with us, 

I'm going to take a little posting break.

To visit, catch up and share some quality "family" time.

To assist my darling daughter with anything

she may need.

To breath....

take deep breaths and enjoy every moment!

Moments of a lifetime only happen once

and I plan on savoring every moment ;0)

{ June Brides }

"Oh, they say when you marry in June,

You're a bride all your life.

And the bridegroom who marries in June

Gets a sweetheart for a wife."

Billie & Jared Meagan & Justin

Oh I think these two young men would have to agree!

Brothers in love

with weddings just six days apart

This weekend as Justin and Meagan begin their lives together

we want to wish them all the best 

for many happy years filled with loving memories!

Enjoy your day!

{ Remembering }

God Bless those who serve, 

who have served 

and those who have lost their lives. 

Thank you all for your sacrifice and honor 

in serving our country to protect our great nation and our freedom 

I feel blessed to be apart of a military family!

God Bless Our Troops!

{ A Milestone Weekend }

We had a fabulous weekend!

We celebrated Jared's commissioning into the Army as a 2nd Lieutenant

and his College graduation with a History major.  

A true milestone weekend!  

I could not be more proud of this young man 

and the choices that he has made!!

looking good guys!

she found it!

At the U of A it is a long standing tradition for each graduate to have their name etched into the sidewalk.  It took two years but well worth the wait!

Yes. One very happy weekend!

Thank you for allowing me to boast a bit ;0)

Happy Father's Day!

Fond childhood memories of small talk and fishing,

days at the beach, archery lessons

and words of wisdom.

Spending this day and every day

thinking warm, happy thoughts of my father.

Because no matter how grown-up we may be

the happy memories and

the words of wisdom

always help us get through life's rough spots.

I am grateful to be my fathers daughter!

I love you Daddy

Joining my friends at How Sweet the Sound

for another fun Pink Saturday

A Day of Remembrance

Today my darling sweet hubby and I

celebrate 11 years of marriage

It all started when a mutual friend

passed a note to a some-what shy boy and said

"call this girl and ask her out"

He did and the girl said "yes"

Each day still feels like our first date

I still get butterflies in my stomach when he walks into a room

and feel strength when he holds my hand

He never forgets a birthday or anniversary

is a wonderful father, provider and best friend

He always spoils me with flowers, little notes of love

 and sweet little gifts

for no reason at all

I am truly blessed and honored to be his wife

~ forever ~

Although September 11th is a day of celebration for us

we will always remember how we spent our second anniversary

praying for those less fortunate

we will never forget

we will always pray

we will always remember those that were lost

and we will always feel blessed

Thank you sweet boy for calling ME!

xoxo
