I bet you thought I made this wedding all up?  I lost all 3 of my SIM cards for my camera (figures) and had to use the one out of Bobby's phone so it has taken me this long to remember to grab the card when he was not using the phone and download them all.  

So on to the fun stuff, we had a BALL!  I cannot tell you how precious this couple was and what a true HONOR it was to be part of their wedding weekend.  It started with a beautiful bridesmaids brunch at Amber's house that was absolutely exquisite and delicious.  Much to Abby Kate's delight, her parent's had a fish pond in their backyard so much of our time was spent out there.  The other flower girl was PRECIOUS and so sweet to Abby Kate.  She literally made the weekend so easy for me!  Abby Kate loved her at first sight and wanted to do whatever she did so it made the actual walk on wedding day super fun.  We then had rehearsal and rehearsal dinner (which AK did not make it too) which was so fun and honoring.  The wedding was beautiful and Amber looked absolutely perfect.  There was standing room only in a huge church which was a complete testimony to both Amber and Jordan (and their families) and the impact they have had on the lives of others.  I truly cannot tell you how much I love this girl and how thrilled I am that she found such a Godly man to serve beside!

As for Abby Kate's role, she walked easily, rounded the corner to see me for the first time and exclaimed loudly, "HI MOMMA!  I DO IT AGAIN!"  and then quickly began shouting "AMBER! I SEE YOU!  AMBER!" as she walked down the aisle, to which I promtly walked her out to her Daddy waiting in the foyer.  She really did wonderfully.  But in the end, I was not at all surprised because we had tons of people praying.   Thanks for praying!
