(You) got to have faith!

I didn't take a camera. I figured enough people would have one.

Friday night was the wedding rehearsal. Mrs. Shelton made the desserts. Wow. I ate so much food and especially that blueberry peach cobbler. Mrs. Robins, Mrs. Shelton, Krissy, Mrs. Huntington, and I set up the tables, set the tables, ate skittles, and arranged flowers and such. I wish I had pictures of that night, but it seems that everyone's cameras were either left home or didn't have batteries that night. Jared and I got there and carried in boxes around 5 and we left around ten. So it didn't take as long as I was expecting. I thought the night was beautiful (a bit buggy, but you can't really stop that). The moon was absolutely gorgeous both nights.

Saturday I did school all day until around two when I started getting ready for the wedding. My parents and I left shortly before three and arrived around 3:30. Another beautiful day. All the groomsmen looked handsome. It was so weird to know every one of the groomsmen. It was great to see everyone again. I am thankful that we aren't so old now that the only time we see each other is at funerals. :) I was escorted to my seat by my little brother Greg. I don't know how the guys lasted through the entire wedding in those coats. I was dripping sweat just sitting in my seat. It was beautiful in the shade, but in the sun, it was a bit warm and still buggy. I loved Mrs. Shelton's dress. Everyone looked so pretty. I can't wait for Hannah's wedding now. This made me really exciting about that wedding. Woohoo, Hanner Nanner. She's getting married on June 3rd!!! I was seated at the groomsmens table (is groomsmens a word... that table where the groomsmen sat). Anyhow, the food was excellent. We had crabcakes, chicken salad, asparagus, salad, mashed potatoes, and rolls. I got to dance foxtrot with Jared. I walked around on the dock barefooted with my little sister Rachel and then we walked around and watched people take pictures of themselves. Somehow we missed getting a picture of the two of us. But yeah, Rachel kept me company for most of the day. Mrs. Townsend had the same dress on as me. Victory and Jack danced for us. That was amusing. My shoes kept sinking into the ground. I should have pushed Greg into the pool. Jared took me home and now I am back at school for finals week.

I just wanted to say how much I realized this weekend how large my family really is. It isn't just my parents and my siblings. There are so many people in the church that are so close to me that I would call them family. And I appreciate and love them all... somedays. haha. What a blessing to have a large family that cares for and loves you.
