Weddings!

<- at Paul and Alexa's wedding in South Bend

Joe and I have been blessed to attend a couple weddings lately and are really looking forward to Eric's this upcoming Valentine's weekend. It's so amazing to see these couple's making such profound vows to one another and to see the beauty in two people participating in a sacrament. God surely blesses each couple and it will be exciting to see them live out their love throughout their lives. We can't help but hold hands as we hear brides and grooms profess their vows remember when we looked into each other's eyes and said the very same words. I know... sappy, but true.

Yay marriage. (speaking of which, our 6 month anniversary is tomorrow :) I can't believe it's been that long already! Time FLIES when you're having fun I guess! )

Christmas is upon us

So is snow and ice! St. Vincent's had a snow day yesterday! Sometimes I wonder if I want snow days as much as the kids do... I had no idea that could have been the case when I was a kid. I really thought my teachers wanted nothing more than to be at school each and every day.

Joe and I are headed to his parents for this afternoon to trim the tree and hang out with Pete and his parents. Tomorrow after Mass we drive to Lafayette to celebrate Eric's graduation and have dinner with Jill's family. We'll be in Noblesville for Christmas, yay! Then it's back to Peoria to celebrate with Joe's family. Being married means so many more people to love and celebrate with... we are so blessed.

We had so much fun being together, playing games and eating!
