Today's Blessings

I feel so very blessed to have my best friend (Judd...though Lucy is right up there too. Seriously, look how cute she is).

We celebrated his birthday last week and lately I have been thinking about how blessed I am to have him in my life. Happy Birthday Judd. Love you.

The last wedding we attended was awesome for several reasons:

1) It was LINDSEY's wedding. Lindsey has always been a bit like a little sister to me. Of course it was going to be special.

2) It was LINDSEY's wedding: Logically that only means she is going to do something silly (I saw a picture of her toasting champagne in a wedding dress while resting on a closed toilet seat. Classy....yet not going to be included in this post)

3) I LOVE her and her family.

4) The last wedding in her family included her brother being introduced into the reception in a monkey costume. You know this one has GOT to be good.

5) It was at BRYN DU. Deja Vu? Yes. It had more simlarities to ours than differences...which obviously makes it insanely awesome.

(Logically Lindsey needed to start a plastic chair rock band during the reception. The only thing missing was a monkey.)

And thus....an AWESOME wedding. Congratulations Phillip and Lindsey!

At this point I feel like I have been to about 124 weddings this month. Fortunately, Judd seems to be faring rather well and I enjoy every one of them. Keep 'em coming!

Ever since planning my own wedding and attending 548 others, I have realized that weddings will NEVER be the same again. I enjoy them for reasons that I never would have realized before. The little moments are so much more special. The details are so much more noticeable. I appreciate them and experience them instead of simply attending.

A few weeks ago we had the honor of attending the wedding of our good friends, Caroline and John. Judd and I had a wonderful evening celebrating with friends. (Judd would also like to point out that John and Caroline had the best wedding food EVER. I'm sure this made Judd's experience of the wedding exponentially better as well)

And to think.....We only have 846 more weddings to attend this summer! Almost there!

Wedding season is particularly special this year. I am so proud to announce the marriage of my brother-in-law, Clay, and my NEW SISTER-IN-LAW, Heather.

Besides the fact that my "new family" desperately needed more girls (hint here Brock), I am so proud and excited to have Heather join our family. I greatly look forward to making many, many memories in the future. Congratulations Clay and Heather!

Rita and I were so excited to be given the opportunity to coordinate this wedding. We both had a wonderful experience and enjoyed every moment of making Clay and Heather's day more special. It was such an honor to have that responsibility. (On a side note, I also learned not to give Judd all of our picture taking responsibilities. This is the single "okay" picture that was taken with our camera.)
