I can breathe again!
I have never been more tired and excited than I was this morning when it was time for me to go get Landry. I could not wait to get my hands on that child of mine. She did so great at the Barnharts. They only spoiled her 99 percent of the time!!! The other percent they were thinking of how they could spoil her more :) Of course, EVERYONE asked who was keeping Landry. Mike was telling someone who was watching her and when he was describing the kind of people they were, he made a comment that really struck me. He said that people(in general) use the word 'Christian' loosely but when we think of them, they are the epitome of the word. He was so right. They are kind, caring, generous, thoughtful and every ones brother and sister. If I were going to leave a legacy behind that Landry had to describe, I hope that it will be the same way I feel about these wonderful people.

We went to a beautiful outdoor wedding in Tupelo, MS this weekend. It was also Elvis Fest so we saw quite a variety of mutton chops in the hotel lobby! I took pictures at the request of my friend Susan, who was the mother of the groom. We had a great time and many of our close friends were there. The Youree's threw a fabulous rehearsal dinner and after dinner party on the rooftop of this popular restaurant. As I watched all of their friends celebrate in the unity of Ben & Carra, I thought how fun it must be to be that young again. I thought about all that they had to go through, both good and bad to get to the end of this fairy tale beginning. I hope that they will take with them the advice that Susan gave them during her toast. She said that 'Today, you have to make the choice to love each other for the rest of your lives. Today, you have make the decision to stay together no matter how hard and how long the days seem sometimes.' It was beautiful and touching. I could barely hold the camera straight! I have some pictures posted of the wedding so click here to check out how stunning they were. Make sure you hit the slideshow button to enlarge the pictures. The bride took my breath away...literally. Congratulations Ben and Carra! May you have a very blessed life!

Now, back to the Bug. Isn't she a dish?!
