Bridal Showers...

Last Sunday, all our friends at Warner Ave. Baptist Church kindly through us a wedding/bridal shower after church. They had a "faith dish" dinner (instead of "pot luck" :) ) They also planned some fun games, and then we opened presents...and more presents...they were so kind and generous. We also had a great photographer. Here are a couple of my favorites...

announcing who each gift was from... Aaron loves being the center of attention...not really, but he's a good sport.







In June, the ladies from Faith Community Bible Church threw me a wonderful shower at Shannon's house...in her beautiful garden....


one of the tables making a bouquet from pipecleaners and ribbon...very creative-and fun- game

Mrs. Elmore gave the devotional and some good tools--from the Bible and also real ones--to prepare me for marriage

I had lots of good helpers unwrapping my gifts... :)

Update

Sorry for the long delay, my faithful few blog readers. As you might imagine, I have had a few extra things on my plate this summer. I guess that is because I am having a family reunion, throwing a huge party, moving, and going on long vacation all at once. Yes, that is what is involved in getting married these days. Why do we do these things? Hey, its a blast. Just a busy, crazy one. :) So here are pictures of the major events of the last two months. Sorry, but don't expect anything after this until the middle of August. :)

The end of June the whole family headed up to northern California for Ryan's graduation from Northwest Lineman College....

Ryan and his team won two events and got best overall.

On the way home we stopped for a night and a concert at Mt. Hermon. A family camp near Santa Cruz that we used to go to as a family...
