Congratulations Jen!!!

My sister Jen and her new husband Jeff were married last Saturday december 16th! The wedding was gorgeous! Jen was stunning! I got all teared up! The ceremony began with a video slide show of them growing up. I started to get teary through that just remembering all the memories we have growing up. There were also pictures of mom. It was really sweet. Then the wedding party entered. When Jen finally came down the aisle with dad she was glowing! She looked absolutely gorgeous! Her make-up and hair were flawless and her dress was beautiful! But it was her eyes that shined the most! It was a very sweet ceremony and then we went over to this really pretty white mansion dating back at least 100 years for the reception. It was very pretty! Everyone had a nice time and the food was great!

I love you both!!!

On the 30th of December I have the wonderful priviledge of travelling down to Decatur Alabama!!! I am staying for 12 days!! It'll be a really nice time and it'll be great to see Drews family again! And get to go to his church again! I love the people down there and I absolutely love his church! Plus, Drew will be there so it'll be even better! lol! And in less than 6 months is the wedding! Things are coming along great! I was talking to Amanda who is my maid of honor the other day....she is so wonderful! She thinks of things that I would have never thought of! But she was asking me stuff the other day and she couldn't believe how on top of things I am! lol!
It is neat when I finally just get to sit back and see how life is going especially with all the changes being made in our family and the different things that are going on how awesome God is. Yeah, we had to face probably the hardest thing ever this past summer when mom passed away, but God promised to never leave us nor forsake us even in the hardest times and he has brought so much joy in the place of sadness. That reality really amazes me! What an awesome God we serve!
