The Wedding


Heeeey bridesmaids.

It was a whirlwind trip to Louisiana and back (landed in LA at 9:00 on Thursday night, flew out 6 a.m. on Sunday) but it was totally worth it! What a beautiful, worshipful wedding and I had such a refreshing weekend with the sweet girls in her wedding party.

I will upload pictures as soon as I get some in my email (ahem, Beth) but for now, I will share with you about THE DRESS. Yes, the famous dress. Well, it had to be let out a bit...surprise, surprise. Ashley Binns & I went to Minden on Friday morning and, while the lady worked on my dress, we used a paper cutter to trim the seamstress's pictures and place them in frames for her mardi Gras ball on Saturday night (that's how we roll in Louisiana...help a sister out.)

Shout-out to Jesus and my praying friends...I was a little concerned about the flight home since I was going to be super-tired from getting in late and leaving the house at 4-something. BUT, Elliot slept the whole time on all 3 flights. Thank you Lord! And thank you for coffee. Amen.

I am proud of myself for not mentioning lactation the entire lingerie shower. Goooo me! (Okay, maybe there was one tiny mention but that was it! And it was only to a small crowd!)

Adam & Henry had a bro's weekend and did lots of fun activities like going swimming (inside, clearly) and visiting the Ackley's and playing Giddyup, Horsey (a new favorite!) I think Adam loved having that sweet one-on-one time for a couple of days and Henry is definitely attached to his hip. Pretty cool.
