OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The weekend before last my daughter and I drove from Minnesota to Colorado for my nieces wedding. The drive really isn’t that bad (13 hours) and I like having my car so that I can come and go when I please. We had a wonderful time spending the weekend with family and friends…some that we hadn’t seen in over 8 years. We laughed a lot, shared some memories, danced together and went out to dinner. The time went by wayyyyy too fast and I’m looking forward to the next wedding so we can do it again! This is photo overload…enter at your own risk. Ha.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAHere she is with her groom. His family has an Irish background, thus the kilt and the theme. Their last name is Murray so it was fun to shout “they are finally Murrayed!”.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAThis is my oldest brother, me, youngest brother, older sister, step-dad and Mom. There is always one or two not looking at the camera. Haha!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAI HAD to throw this one in here. This is my daughter Jessica and a family friend, Jacob. We have pictures of them together when Jess was just a year old. They haven’t seen each other in over 10 years. It was only fitting that we get a picture of them together.

wedding 11My daughters, Breanna and Jessica with their Papa. You will notice he has an empty wine glass in his hand. He hadn’t had wine in years and thoroughly enjoyed his glass.

wedding 12My sister Kari, my Mom and I. Not sure when the last time was that we just had our picture together. We don’t live close together (Cali, Colorado & Minnesota) so it is a treat when we can get a photo together.

wedding 13My daughters…my joy…my world…beautiful inside and out…I’m blessed to be their Mom.
