David and I were able to attend my college roomate/dear friend's wedding in Birmingham last weekend. A big thank you to Grandma and Granddad for coming up to WF to babysit the kids so we could go! We love you guys!! We stayed with our friends Nikki and Blake. They were such amazing hosts!! They chauffered us around the entire weekend! We are so blessed by you guys!!

We had so much fun catching up with lots of college friends, visiting our old stomping grounds (Go SU Bulldogs!), eating good ole' southern BBQ at Jim N Nick's and attending Sherri's gorgeous wedding. She came down the aisle with her daddy singing the word's "Praise to the Lord God Almighty" as the choir and congregation sang. It was just beautiful!! Congrats, Sherri and Justin!! We are so very happy for the two of you!! What an honor it was to celebrate with you both on this unforgettable day!!
