My Sister's Married...

As you might recall, we had a busy weekend working to get my sister, Sarah, married. This has kept us from getting a blog post up for the last little while. There was much to do to prepare for the wedding, and we're finally get back to our routine after a busy weekend.

While you are reading this, my sister is probably out on a beach somewhere in the Mexican Riviera. She and her husband, Scotty (my new brother-in-law) were married on Saturday, and are honeymooning in Mexico. Hopefully, they're enjoying some fun in the sun, and a much needed break from the hectic-ity (I just coined a new term) from planning a wedding.

The wedding...was beautiful. My sister...was a beautiful bride. Tara...was a beautiful bridesmaid. All in all, it was a beautiful weekend.

Jaxson wasn't in the wedding, but he was beautiful, too. We had to find something for him to wear at the ceremony, and somehow that responsibility fell on me. Tara requested that I find him some khakis and a nice button-up shirt, which I did. The problem was, both were a little too big for him. He was wearing too many clothes during the wedding, and he let everyone around him know that he was unhappy and hot.

Afterward, though, he was fine.

Additionally, Travis moved out of our place today. He stayed with us all summer long, while working with me at the Plant. We really enjoyed having him stay with us, and will miss having him around. He's moving to College Station for another semester at Texas A&M (Whoop!) this weekend, and we're praying that things go well for him. He's looking for a job there now, but he'll find something soon, I'm sure.


Here are a few pictures from the weekend:

Sarah and Scotty are happy, but tired.

Here's a picture of Jaxson getting ready for the rehearsal dinner.

Jaxson has been putting EVERYTHING in his mouth--including Dad's thumb.

"I'm ready for my closeup."

Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Until next time...
