Because my sister-in-law reads this...

My sister-in-law Shawdi mentioned to me today that she's checked my blog before...I feel a little more pressure to keep up with this thing now. So, here you go, Shawdi. A post indirectly inspired by you...

This weekend, Isaac and I travelled down to Sikeston for two reasons: our friend Michelle was getting married, and the entire Johnson family would be in town as well. Emily, Ronnie, and Ashton came up from Gulfport to go to a different wedding, so we were able to take the opportunity for an impromtu family reunion. Today after church, we crammed eighteen humans, two dogs, and one soon-to-be child (of Emily's) into Mom and Dad's house, then proceeded to eat massive amounts of food (some more than others), poke fun at each other, and share stories with one another. A enjoyable time was had by all, especially since Mark cut off the end pieces of the ridiculously good bread for me and Grandma.

Yesterday afternoon, Isaac and I ventured to this tiny country church where Michelle and Matt would be married:



We had a good time at the wedding and reception and had the opportunity to catch up with some friends we hadn't seen in a while as well.

Speaking of weddings, it seems several of our friends have gotten engaged lately! First, Nelson-O-Tron proposed to one of my dearest friends Laina. Then Corey proposed to India a few weeks ago, then Rob proposed to Becca last weekend, then everyone's favorite DJ Ryan proposed to Melissa, and tonight I found out that Kelly has a gorgeous ring on her finger too! Our sincerest congratulations to all of you; we pray that the Lord would be glorified through your marriage.

Don't forget that Jim and Pam got engaged. The most important engagement of them all.
