Corrie is Married!

This past weekend I went to Texas for my best friend's wedding. There are actually four of us that are best friends, and have been since kindergarden (or before) (check out this post). Corrie asked all of us to be bridesmaids along with Corrie's sister, Cathie and James' sister, Katie. This was the cutest little back yard wedding you've ever seen.
You can see James and Corrie's engagement photos here.
Everything came together perfectly for their big day - the weather was perfect, the ceremony was beautiful, the house and yard looked great, the food and drinks were wonderful, and the dancing kept us warm when the sun went down. :) Corrie is a beautiful person, inside and out, but I have NEVER seen her look so beautiful as she did this past Saturday. She was glowing all night long. I am so thankful that Corrie and James found each other. They are perfect together. I wish them years, and years of happiness.

The wedding photography was done by the very talented girls of Anne Marie Photography. They were our wedding photographers nearly three and a half years ago now. How time flies...
If you are ever in need of some great photos in the south-central Texas area (or wherever...they travel), Kellie and Traci of Anne Marie Photography are your gals.

Corrie and James, I am so happy for you guys. Congratulations. I can't wait to see you both when you get back from the 'moon.

I took Corrie's bridals on a beautiful day in September in Colorado Springs (thanks Libby for assisting). Here are some of my personal favorites.

So, since my last post, a lot has happened....Please pray for our soldiers and for the eight families of those who gave their lives.


Last week I was in DC for an AUSA (Association of the United States Army) Conference. A group of FRG (family readiness group) leaders from Fort Carson went to learn about new programs for our families and to share how our families are being supported or how they can be supported.

The most memorable part of our trip was the tour of Walter Reed. The soldiers we visited were just kids. They fought for you and I. Please remember all of our Soldiers daily in your prayers. They are out there defending our country for us. We can never thank them enough.

Our days were jam-packed with various meetings and sessions, but we usually had a little down time in the evenings. One evening we decided to see the sites of DC. I love this city.
