Missouri

A couple months ago, Jared's uncle asked us to help him and Monica with a chuck wagon cook in Missouri, all of the proceeds went to the Wounded Warriors Project. I had never been to Missouri, it so green. They had things like big green trees and very green, plush grass. You know things that Texas hasn't seen in a while. I was very nervous about going because the weekend before that terrible tornado hit Moore, OK and it traveled the same path that we were going. So I prayed hard that we would be safe. The weather was prefect. But the weekend after there were more tornadoes. Again the Lord is great and he kept us safe.

After we left Missouri we took a short trip to Eureka Springs, AK. Again I had never been to AK. We chose Eureka Springs because everyone that we had talked to said it was an old ghost town. We didn't do any of the ghost tours, but we did stay in a hotel that they said was haunted. We were only there for one night, so we didn't have time to do much. Here are some pictures.

The Final Wedding of the Year!!

Ryan and Brittani-

The final wedding of 2013, well that we had to attend was for my youngest sister, Brittani. She was absolutely stunning. She was so nervous, just like any bride. It was a windy day and as soon as she started to walk down the steps the wind just stopped. It was amazing, the Lord is great, he never seizes to amaze me when things like that happen! The wedding was short and sweet.
Her husband to be - Ryan - had the biggest grin. He looked handsome. They had some mishaps during their vows, but that eased their nerves a little. They were married on May 18, 2013- it was not to hot or to cold. Gorgeous May weather.

Justin and Amanda

So the 3rd wedding was for our best friends Justin and Amanda. It was gorgeous, there were so many traditions in the wedding. For example they were married at the same church as Amanda's parents and grandparents. There were many other traditions, it was really need. I have never been to a wedding with so many traditions. Jared was the Best Man at the wedding. We had so much fun. I don't have very many pictures from the wedding. I was a bad toad and didn't bring my camera with me. But here are a few.

She is just stunning!

Trisha and Johnny!

My sister - Trisha got married on April 13, 2013. It was a very exciting day, as any wedding day should be. Everything started out great that morning and then I received a phone all saying that Trisha had a seizure and the ambulance was taking her to the hospital. At this point we were not sure if she was going to be able to go on with the wedding. With much thought and many phone calls to re-arrange the time, she decided to go on with the wedding. She was released from the hospital at 3:00 and the wedding started at 6:30. It was a CRAZY day to say the least, but she was a trooper! Even though there were some bumps and bruises in the road, we still managed to get everything done before the wedding at 6:30. I think it turned out more perfect than she could have ever imagined.

She looked gorgeous, she was glowing!!
