OK so in my last blog I promised some pics from the weddings I was blessed to attend over the last month. In February, my cousin Christopher proposed to his beautiful and wonderful girlfriend, Ciera. They quickly decided that they really wanted their wedding on Christopher's family's property in Shiner...so my aunt went into full wedding planning gear. We got to watch and help the concept unfold and finally the weekend arrived. We started off on Wednesday with a shower for them and the festivities went through the Saturday wedding....which was THE most uniquely perfect wedding I have ever been to. It was SO Christopher and Ciera...just amazing and God glorifying.

The following weekend we got to follow up one beautiful wedding with another beautiful wedding. My dear friend from college, Lisa Griffin, got married overlooking Lake Travis in Austin. Lisa and I met in Ice Skating kinesiology class at Texas A&M. My senior year we lived in neighboring duplexes and she is such a beautiful person inside and out!
