WEDDING DAY!!! So thankful for God's provision in both Rach and Will's lives. It's so neat to be in Ft. Worth to walk through this day with Rach. We've shared so many memories over the years as she has spent quite a bit of time living with us in Clemson. We've gone through some pretty tough heartbreak together, and it is just so NEAT to see how God has provided WILL for Rach (and vice versa), and to see how faithful God has been to Rach through all of the ups and downs.

I feel so blessed to be standing by Rachel today. So thankful for her and honored to share in her day.

I'd say that it was a BEAUTIFUL day for a wedding!!!

Rach's friend Haley Mitchell did her hair for the wedding and did a BEAUTIFUL job!

Everybody getting ready! Thankful for that Katrina girl!

Woot woot! Brush those pearly whites, Sarah Lou!

Will sent Rach a letter and a plant. This is Rach's favorite flower- so sweet!

Beautiful hydrangeas!

Lisa and Sarah- friends of Rach's from Ohio. It was SO GREAT to see them again after so many years.
Sarah and I met them a LONG time ago when we went to visit Rach.
Love them!

Almost time to get in THE DRESS!

I loved this picture. The flower girl was twirling around-- and Rach was just watching.
So relaxed and so excited!! AND LOOK AT HER HAIR! Beautiful!

Carrie helping the flower girl get dressed. Carrie
was SO helpful and finished a lot of last minute details. She saves the day always!

Beautiful! How many people does it take to fasten a wedding dress?!!

Love love!!! Thankful for these two ladies!

Rach had a candy table and it was SO cute!!!!

Beautiful cake! (though I forgot to eat a piece... too busy dancing!)

Matt, Rach, Kathryn and Benton were all able to make it for the wedding!!!

:)

Aunt Carol is so beautiful! Here we all are trying to pass the last few minutes!!!

Thankful for this day... more pictures to come.... :)

So we have been busy busy around this Dallas area. Dad, Mom, Sarah and I have been staying with  Monroe and Katie and have had just the best time!!!  We've spent a good portion of our time on the road since the wedding is in Ft. Worth. It's not too far of a drive, but you never know how traffic is going to factor in. A 45 minute drive can VERY quickly become a 1 1/2 hour TREK! So thankful to be in town for one of Rachel's showers... and it was just beautiful!!!

Hannah (maid of honor) and Sarah (bridesmaid)

Ellie's first girly shower... ;) 

Mmmm.... these types of touches are so much fun!!!

Love the shades!

There were little bouncy balls all around- the lady who threw the shower did a
FABULOUS job! It was so much fun and well planned- so many cute touches!

Love my cousins!

Rachel opened our wedding gifts along with her other fun
stuff... and this is one of my favorite gifts to give for weddings!
Beatrize Ball... look it up. It's AMAZING!

What a fun party!!! Thankful for all of these ladies!

Now to get ready for a wedding TOMORROW!!!!!

456/365

Bachelorette party for RACHEL KAY SUTE! (I have to say her full name now because soon it will change!!!)

So thankful to be safely in Dallas in time to celebrate my WONDERFUL cousin! Thankful to be reunited with friends from long ago (Lisa and Sarah!!) and also to meet some of Rachel's other friends from Dallas.

What a great night!! Tex-mex followed by CHEESECAKE FACTORY! We are the wild type if you can't tell (sense the sarcasm?!).... ;) and we sure do have fun!

Katrina, Rach and Sarah

Lisa, myself and Haley

We walked around a really cute part of Dallas (not sure if it was really Dallas)
and there was the most cute little truck. :)

Dessert at the Cheesecake Factory.... mmmm!

Rach and I split this massive coconut/chocolate cheesecake and it CHANGED my life!

I love Rach!! I love this picture of our weird coffee drinks that we mixed.
I love the memories I have with her.
This just sums up alot!

CONGRATULATIONS, RACHEL! SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!
