A Perfectly Beautiful Day....

 God surely smiled on this beautiful couple.

The day  before this late October wedding the temperature was in the 50's and the wind was blowing about 30 miles an hour.  A nightmare scenario for an outdoor wedding with a hundred people in attendance.  

On this day it was 70 degrees and not a leaf was moving.  You could not have ordered more perfect for this perfectly matched pair!

 Kelsey and Drake were a long time planning this special day.

 With almost all their families and friends in attendance they said their "I do's" with tears in their eyes.

 And then proceeded to a celebrate in style!

Love these kids, our new family member and missing all of the family that could not join us.

Happy wedding day Kelsey and Drake.

Super 8........

 My precious little Brooklynn Mae is 8.  

Time has a way of sneaking by you and though it is a bit sad, it makes me so proud to see the beautiful young lady she is becoming.

 Her smile is a gift.

 Her heart is huge.

And she just fills my heart everytime I see her.

I know someday soon she will outgrow her need to hang out with me so until then I will just soak up every minute I can with her.

Happy #8 B-Mae!

Hello October!....

None of us would know by the 90 plus degree temps, pollen in full ragweed mode, and allergy suffers crying for relief, but we are now in October.

It is football season, time for everything pumpkin, and the State Fair has opened it gates.

I hope the weather God's will have some mercy and let us enjoy a bit of fall before we are fully enveloped in winter.

Either way....

HELLO OCTOBER!
