Nina and Levi

We were at the Bistro on 25th Street, everyone talking and working....getting ready for the next day.  "THE"day.  Someone made a comment about Nina and Levi being married in less than 12 hours...the color drained out of his face. It looked like "tossing his cookies" was in order. Later, he told us in the car that he had never been more nervous in his life!  Not on the plane going to Basic...not even on the plane going to Iraq.  But that sweet little face with the cutest dimples has toppled him to his knees....Oh LOVE!  (way to go, Nina!)

White knuckles....

Breathing now....


Pure JOY!


sealing the deal with a ring...


Phew!  They made it!

Hey world....meet the newest McConnell girl!  ya...we love her....


We drove back from Utah the day before yesterday.  The whole way I dreamed of the most beautiful forest with mushrooms and moss....little trolls atop lemon yellow cake....birds and nests tucked onto boughs and polka-dotted girls with yellow sneakers.  My mind went over and over every detail that we have been planning for the last few months. 


But nothing compares to that little turned up smile that was on Levi's face as he married the girl of his dreams.
We couldn't be happier.
