Well, a couple of weeks ago we joined in the celebration of a very special day--Chris Kneip married the sweet, beautiful Candy!
The wedding was in Jackson, MS, and Bryan, Macie, and I set out on Thursday evening as Bryan, being a groomsman, was supposed to play golf Friday with Chris and the guys. Going through Baton Rouge, there was some heavy stop and go traffic, and while we came to a stop, the girl behind us didnt--hit us pretty hard! We hit the car in front of us, of course. We were all ok, but my BRAND NEW VAN wasn't! Busted radiator, back-end damage. After a very frustrating and honestly scary evening with a wrecker driver that abandoned us in gangland of Baton Rouge, we finally got in our rental car and drove on to Jackson. The rest of the weekend was perfect, really. Being with our friends, watching another friend on the happiest day of his life--what a blessing! We always leave that group of friends feeling so thankful that God has brought us together--and sad that we don't see each other more often! I have also come to realize that my third child is near-perfect as well--not that my older two aren't really great, but Macie is a charm. During the whole wreck thing, the long hours in the car, the altered schedule--she hardly made a peep. Congratulations, Chris and Candy--we love you!
They did it! Scott and Alli were married on the 10th of October, at 1 pm. It was held at the Allan House in Austin, Tx, and it was absolutely perfect. Beautiful and wonderful--aren't they cute?! All of us were in it--imagine that! Down to Macie, though her role was small--I carried her down the aisle, then passed her off to my mom--but wasn't she beautiful?! The kids did great--Jack didn't dance, or yell, or put his hands down his pants during the ceremony. Callie of course, stood perfectly still and held her basket just so the entire time. Many thanks to my parents for helping me with my kids while Bryan and I were occupied with wedding stuff. The Irwins, friends from New Braunfels, were happy to help as well--and we were glad to have them there. I took lots of pics--these are just some I pulled out. I like the Aggie picture--the big group picture of everyone on the stairs. Looking through them, I realized I didn't get any pictures of the bridesmaids, or Kae Kae, or Ashton--somehow missed those. Oh, well--I'm sure I can order some from the professional! Scott and Alli, thank you for letting us be part of your special day--it was perfect!
