We mailed our wedding invitations on Friday, May 7th. Dixie did a great job with the design, and a special thanks to Tommy and Marsha for helping us put on stamps and stuffing envelopes.

After weeks of searching for the perfect honeymoon getaway, we have made our decision. We selected the El Dorado Royale Resort, near Riviera Maya Mexico. I can tell you there is a lot of competition out there and public review websites like traveladvisor.com can make these decisions very tough.

Last weekend we picked out tuxedos for the men in the wedding party. Men’s Wearhouse helped make the process fairly painless. This was a major check off of my list. Now I just need to complete my address lists so we can send save the dates.
My story strangely enough started in Africa, Kenya, Nairobi, to be exact. A trip I really thought and prayed over for weeks and made mostly to get out of my comfort zone to see what exactly I had to offer others. On the 10 day trip to Nairobi and Machakos, Kenya, a group of about [...]
Match.com? Every time I heard one of those cheesy commercials, I would roll my eyes and walk away from the television. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that a dating website would play any part in meeting my future husband! As crazy as it sounds, that is where we met. I was actually [...]
