Another One Bites the Dust

We had a whirlwind of a weekend around here. My best friend Laura got married, and her husband is one of Brad’s (my older bro) best friends.  We were all friends at Baylor, back before they started dating. Brad and I were both in the wedding and it was such a joy to see our friends so happy together and knowing we played a part in that.

Laura (center) was the 4th in our little group to get married.  We've all been best friends for over 10 years, and we've made some great memories being part of one another's weddings.  Katie (left) is getting married in November, and we'll officially be a group of 10!  I am so blessed to have these girls in my life.

We had wedding stuff going on Thursday through Saturday night, but I also had a work project going on that made me have to work all day on Thursday and on Friday morning, which was a bummer (grown-up life is a real drag sometimes!). Our college roommates flew in to town, our best friends from high school were here, other friends of ours from Baylor drove in… it was quite the party and we all had a blast.

Bride and groom at rehearsal:

Kolby and I had another wedding to attend on Sunday evening, and then we met up with Brad & Remy and drove down to Waco to help my parents move into their new house on Monday. 150+ boxes and a dozen mondo garbage bags of packing paper later, we had their new place completely unpacked. I wish I had taken some pictures, but I didn’t. Their place looks great and my dad started his new job yesterday. I think their new life will suit them well!

On the job front, Kolby now has three school districts interested in him, which is 2 more than last week. He had an interview that went really well yesterday, so we’re really hopeful that something great will come from it. We don't know when he'll hear back on anything. I wouldn’t say patience is either of our strong suits, but we’re working on it!

In other exciting news, we leave for our vacation pretty soon and we’re getting really excited. I’m taking off work for a full week, which will be my longest break (by far) since I started my job almost a year ago. I love my job, but I love vacation more!  We can’t wait!!!
