Show Us Your Life!

I got married June 12, 1999 at a local church in South Carolina. I did not get married at my home church, but had my reception at my home church. I only used ferns and candles to decorate the front of the sanctuary, you really can't tell that from the pictures I posted. They all lead to the cross as the focal point. My bridesmaid's dresses were from the junior departments from Dillards and Belks. They were a soft pale yellow. They were on clearance and one dress came as far as Texas! Dillards and Belks were great to work with. Each of the dresses were different amounts, so we rounded the price and each bridesmaid had to pay $25 for her dress!!!!! I used spring colors for the flowers and my flowers were white with greenery.



After our wedding, I wanted to get my flowers dried but when I came home from the honeymoon my mom told me they had died. . . well, a year later on our one year anniversary my parents gave us a shadow box with our invitation and part of my bouquet inside! It is in our bedroom and still beautiful after 10 years! So sorry the pictures are pictures of pictures!

Happy Birthday Abby!

Happy Birthday Abby! I hope you were able to celebrate all day today. You are a very special sister and I love you very much. I'm so proud of you. What you are doing is not easy and you are doing a great job saving money, working, and raising Maggie. I'm glad I have you for a sister. I love you!

Live from Kentucky!

We are in Kentucky and I just wanted to share a couple of fun things we have done with you!

The first thing we have done and the one thing we have done once every day since Sunday is eat at Skyline! The good thing is we already have plans to eat there again tomorrow night for dinner with my Great Aunt and Uncle who live in Cincinnati! I'm looking forward to seeing them.

Mike and I are in Kentucky attending Creation College 3 hosted by Answers in Genesis. It is fascinating and I have learned more about science in the last 2 days than I did in 4 years of high school and 4 years of college combined. I'm amazed at how smart these speakers are and how much I actually do understand. However, there is still many things that I don't understand what they are saying either! My favorite speaker so far is Dr. Jason Lisle and he is SMART and I learned so much about our universe today! He is speaking twice tomorrow and I can't wait!!! It was amazing to see all the evidence in our galazy that supports creation! I hope to post about his session when I return home.

This week's conference has included passes to the Creation Museum. Mike and I enjoyed touring it on Sunday. We are going back tomorrow to take another look. The museum is first class and a place that every believer needs to visit. It is basically a walk through the Bible on the inside, the grounds are beautiful to walk around and enjoy God's beauty and handiwork, there is also a petting zoo too! They also have several eating places that you can enjoy, including serving Cincinnati Chili!




We are enjoying spending time with Pastor Busby and his family this week. (Although, some of them are having more fun--while the rest of us are watching our brains get bigger with all the information we are learning!
