I have been in the "wedding phase" of my life for the past three years. It started in April 2007 when Megan married Colt. Then it snowballed from there, and to date, I have been in 10 weddings, have attended numerous weddings as just a guest (and I say that lovingly, because I LOVE BEING A GUEST ) and have traveled all over the state. I love weddings, and I love what they represent. Bringing two lives, together as one, two people confessing their love for each other in front of the dearest family and friends...it is all so magical to me.
This past weekend we attended my cousin's Jeff's wedding. He married a lovely girl, and I am so excited to have her as an addition to our ever growing family. The wedding ceremony was beautifully set in my aunt and uncle's backyard, and then the reception was just a few steps away. What a lovely event. I am so happy for Jeff, that he found his person to grow his life with. What a true blessing.
This weekend also brought along a new experience for me.... the Baby Shower. My beautiful cousin Lindsey is pregnant, due 1/1/11. One of her sweet friends hosted a beautiful shower in Lake Jackson, and she and BGG (Baby Girl Gore) were showered with pink, pink and more pink. This little girl has no idea what is in store for her, when we welcome her to our family in 2011. We are so excited for Patrick and Lindsey, and even more excited to meet BGG. Lindsey is absolutely glowing, and if I am half as lucky to look as beautiful and elegant as Lindsey does when I'm pregnant, then I will count my blessings.

And finally, I have to end with a picture of Matt and I. He is my partner in crime when it comes to weddings. He has been such a trooper the past two years, attending wedding, after wedding. What a blessing he is in my life. Even when I get frustrated, I am still thankful he is my person, my partner, the one God choose for me. Love him, and love the life we are growing together.
