Weddings, Baptisms, Moves, Oh my!!!

Wow!  It's been awhile, but not for lack of anything to say......we have just been SUPER busy lately and this is my first chance to sit down and blog about it.

We headed to San Angelo the last weekend in June for Bryan and Brityn's wedding. 

It was wonderful to be in San Angelo because we had not been there since Thanksgiving!  We were able to see everyone in Garrett's HUGE family and that definitely is a feat in itself. 

All Of The Cousins

The wedding was absolutely beautiful and we are so happy for Mr. & Mrs. Bryan Black!  Madelyn had the time of her life at the reception!  She danced the night away and at times, she was the center of attention in the middle of the dance floor.  

Our child LOVES having all eyes on her.  She was having so much fun that we didn't even realize how late it had gotten.  We finally swooped her up from the dance floor somewhere around midnight and took her home to get some much needed sleep. 

The next day we went out to Spring Creek for Madelyn's baptism.  Spring Creek has been a part of Garrett's family for many, many years, so we thought it would be very special to have her baptized there.  My parents and grandmothers drove in from Waco and most of Garrett's family was there as well. 

It was an absolutely beautiful setting for a very important day in our lives.  I can't imagine a more perfect place for Madelyn to accept the Lord into her life.

We returned to McAllen the following Tuesday and have been busy with playdates, swimming, shopping, cleaning, laundry, birthday parties, and so much more ever since we returned!!!  It's good to be busy though...It makes the days here in the Valley go by much faster!

One last note:

Our good friends Carla & David found out they were finally getting the transfer they have been praying for and they have officially moved to Hurst (which is near Ft. Worth!) 

Their move is extremely bittersweet for us, but we couldn't be happier for them.  Carla and I became the best of friends over these past 2 years and I am sad to see her go!  She is truly one of the sweetest, most loving, angelic, people I know and I will miss her dearly.  I have a feeling we will be making lots of trips to the Metroplex in the near future!  Now we have an excuse to go to Rangers Games, Cowboys Games, Shopping, etc!!!  YAY!
