Our First Daughter Married...

I am humbled and cannot explain how blessed Wesley and I are. The Lord has brought so many beautiful college students into our lives and we have had the honor of walking through several of their engagements and weddings. Our family has had the privilege of filling some sort of role in many of them.

About 3 years ago a beautiful Baylor student named Chantel and her boyfriend Travis were teaching Josie's Sunday School class. Her "adopted family" had recently moved leaving her without a "family" at church. I happened to be standing near her when she asked the college minister for a new family and in my typical spontaneous/sometimes over-zealous fashion, I said, "Oooo, oooo, we'll be your family!!!"

From that point on Chantel and Travis were our "big kids". They have been through several adventures with our family and we are forever grateful for their friendship. Last year they became engaged and asked Josie and Caleb to be the flower girl and ring bearer.

This past weekend was the day we had long been waiting for. The wedding was gorgeous and so full of worship to our Savior. The kiddos did a great job and everything went very, very smoothly. Here are some pictures from the day.

While walking down the hall at the hotel, out of no where Caleb said, "It's a good thing I wore my helmet!"

Of course, I would forget Josie's bathing suit. We made a late night run to Wal Mart. I don't think she's too disappointed in me anymore.

My beautiful daughters!!!

Our sweet sons.

The quality of the photo is terrible (taken from my camera) but the look on his face is priceless!

Yumminess!!!!

All tuckered out.
