Just the beginning....
Numbers6:25 "the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you"
This was a very fun trip. The people of Pleasantville truly blessed us. Thank you to Rhonda Stubbs for taking pictures and capturing this moment in life. Thank you Geenie Gilderbloom for the cake mints that no one in Texas has heard of or have been able to taste the greatness of. Thank you to my parents who had the heart and thoughtfulness to throw this engagement party for us.
The Family!
Cheek to Cheek!
I don't know if I have ever seen my dad so happy! His friend Lyle is next to him. Lyle got teary eyed when telling Justin to take care of me.....
I have been waiting a year to meet this precious little girl, Blayke. She is the daughter of one my good friends from high school (Mitch). Justin and Mitch hit it off, I knew they would. They both have the commonality of photography. Justin seemed to find great comfort with Mitch and his family!
The girls of the family. From left to right: My cousin, Charlynne (charlie), My mom, My aunt Dee. They were all such a big part of making this party happen. Thank you ladies. Love you!
This is Anna-mae and Merle. They are my dad's mom's cousins. They came in and I just started to cry. She just kept telling me how proud grandma was of me and how she would have loved to have been here. They were backyard neighbors to my grandparents who I spent a lot of time at their house. She smelled (good) just the same and it brought so many good memories! It was the best surprise of the engagement party.
The new In-Laws for Justin. I am not sure if you can tell by this picture but my dad is a large man, and half way through the trip Justin told me how terrified he was of him. He really is just a huge teddy bear. For those of you who know Steve Chandler, he is a replica of him, Justin agreed.
It was a great time in Iowa, Thank you for your prayers. The Lord really did miracles on our trip up there and we were able to reflect and praise Him more!
