Prayers and Letters!

I am gifted each week with letters from friends lovingly sharing wisdom, encouragement and hope for my up coming marriage. What a priceless gift as I know the busy lives they live. These letters also represent the gift of their time before the Lord in prayer for me which have brought tears of gratefulness that each of these friends are mine. I have known deep sorrow, as each of us will in life, and have found we don't lose friends in our day of sorrow it just clarifies who they are. I am blessed knowing these friend’s hearts for me and celebrating with me God's gift of Todd. Thank you Kate for creating this and you sweet friends that fill each week with prayers and letters!! I hope each bride could receive this priceless gift from her friends in preparing her for her wedding day and marriage!

A Word from the Guy

You haven't heard from me yet but probably have seen more of me than you care to on this blog (more pics of Brittany please :) but let me take a moment to say thank you to the many people who have blessed us throughout our lives and during this engagement.

To our families who have helped form in us Spiritual foundations that we now set our lives and future upon, we are forever grateful. For our extended families and future in-laws (Troy and Susan included), your warmness and acceptance has allowed us to feel welcome and truly a part of a larger family.

To our friends who have helped shape us (and in some cases helped smooth some rough edges) we say thank you. In some ways it is our fondness and appreciation of your wonderful attributes that has caused us to seek out those things in each other.

And most importantly to our Heavenly Father who bent His ear to hear our cries for help and has brought unspeakable joy into our lives in the person of Himself and communion with one another. As the days grow closer to marriage, I realize that marriage is not simply the joining of two people but an institution in which we most clearly worship God here on earth. We look forward to worshipping with all of you and recounting the blessings our God has bestowed upon us.

in Him,

todd

Our Wedding Shower

This past weekend Todd and I had a wedding shower at my sister's home. It was so thoughtful of my sister Callie to host the shower at her home. Todd and I were so blessed to have family and friends plan a wonderful wedding shower to celebrate us. The details were amazing! We enjoyed a night of fun with food, cake, fire pit, s'mores and friends.


The beautifully decorated table.



The yummy and amazing looking cake!






We were so blessed to have so many of our friends come celebrate with us.




My younger sister Baylie and her boyfriend drove from out of town to celebrate with us. Thank you guys!

My two bridesmaids drove from out of town to share in the joy and celebration. Thank you girls!



We were able to share our love story and how the Lord brought us together!

The Church!

We are getting married at Tyler Presbyterian Church in Tyler, TX. It is the church my parents have been attending for several years. More than just a beautiful exterior we feel like it is a place we can truly come to worship God. This is also the church we attended on Christmas Eve after Todd proposed. We are so excited to get married in this church! We pray that it will be a day of worship to our God for being forever faithful to us.

The address is:
4554 Farm to Market 2813
Flint, Texas 75762

We will hand out directions and a map to the reception site at the wedding ceremony. The wedding reception will be at Lake Tyler Petroleum Club.
