Brody and Loren's Wedding

Brody and Loren got married on Saturday, August 9th. The wedding was in Stamford, just north of Abilene. What a precious day it was! And I am so blessed with the most darling new sister-in-law. I couldn't have prayed for a better person to complete my brother's life. The ceremony was so sweet, culminating in Brody and Loren serving communion to the guests. Then we headed to the reception, which was a wonderful time of family and friends.

Brooke was the flower girl and I was a bridesmaid, so we got all fancied up for the event! Brooke just had the time of her life. For months, she had been telling everone she came into contact with that she was the flowergirl, so she was overjoyed to finally get to wear her dress and be a 'princess'. She was such a big girl. She froze for a second when she saw the crowd in the church, but after a word of encouragement from our friend Lisa, she walked down the aisle like a pro, dropping flowers and smiling side to side at the guests. Of course, she made me cry -- I was just so proud of her!

Brooke loved her new friend, Lane. He was the ring bearer.

Brooke and her sweet daddy!

The sweet little family!
