TN Trip...Brent and Meghan Hendrickson!!!

Well, we went to Tn Oct. 10 for Brent and Meghans wedding and ended up staying 2 weeks! It was the most wonderful time! Karen (Kevin's mom) flew down with me on Tuesday and Kevin and Danny flew in on Thurs. night. It was quite a wonderful celebration! Thurs. the girls (me mom, and Karen) went out to get our nails done with all of my other mothers (Jody, Becky, Nancy and Beth). We had the best time! It is such a blessing to be surrounded by strong women in your life! Here is a pic:

We also celebrated Isabella's birthday, TN style. We had cake and presents with my family. She stuck her finger in every spot on the cake that she could before we could cut it. Smart girl, I say...if you lick your fingers and touch all over it, no one will want it and you get it all to yourself!

On Friday, we had the bridesmaids luncheon at Aunt Connie's house..Tons of fun and then we had the rehersal that night at Hillsboro C.o.C. The rehersal dinner was at the Belle Meade plantation. Fabulous job mom! It was decorated with deep orange table cloths, with fabulous cascading flower arrangements, yummy fried chicken and prime rib!, a jazz trio with background music and a precious video and sweet toasts. Most of the pics I got were on my moms camera, so I will have to wait for those to post, when I get a copy.

The wedding was the most beautiful wedding I have ever been to, truly. Not only in decor but also just the joining of the marriage. I ahve never seen my brother happier. And that says a lot for all that we have done together. There is something about seeing your sibbling, a dear and best of friend, join with their soul mate. And because he is my borther, I know his heart, and I say confidently that he has found his friend and love in Meghan. We are overjoyed to have her as a part of our family, she is now more than a friend and "my brother's girlfriend", but my sister now. My cup and saucer overflow with love and happiness for them. Welcome to our family Meghan! And Brent, we are so proud of you for waiting for your queen. God Bless you richly!!!!

I hope that they don't mind, but I am putting a link to a few of their pics, so that you can get an idea of the magnitude of how fabulous this celebration was!

Bella's 2nd Birthday

Happy Birthday to my sweet Isabella Ryan Miller! Isabella turned 2 on 10-7-06. It is amazing how the time flies! It is like a switch has been flipped and she is suddenly a big girl and is talking non-stop. And not just talking, but really communicating! It is amazing! This past year has been full of fun times! She makes us laugh and is such a joy bringer. And it is so precious to hear and see her love for the Lord. She carries her Bible everywhere and pretends to read from it, and will sing Jesus loves me and the Little children while she pretends to read. She talks non stop about Jesus and David (her favorite stories). But don't let me fool you, she is a big fan of Dora, Diego and Barney too these days. I am posting some birthday pics for your enjoyment. We had a "Two-tu" party and some friends came over to play.

One of my favorite friends (and cousin) Anna Claire came to play on my actual

birthday and watch the TX / OU game. We love to play outside together.

Mom and Dad took me to Chick-fila-my favorite place-for dinner and I

got to play in the playground. I love to slide.

I love cupcakes and sang Happy Birthday to myself!

This was the best group shot that we could get. They don't cooporate as well
since they can run away.
