Texas Style Wedding

This past weekend I went to a wedding in Kountze. The bride was Manita, a friend of Stephanie's from high school, and she got married Texas style. I loved her wedding so much...it felt like an old-fashioned backyard wedding.

They got married in front of this old, rustic barn


Everybody had their cowboy boots on...love, love cowboy boots and dresses!

These pink kids boots are so cute!




Steph and Ross drove in for the wedding but had to leave afterwards and go back to Waco for a farewell party for them on Sunday at their church...Ross just got a job as a youth pastor in St. Francisville, LA and they are moving today. I am so excited for them...they said that the town is beautiful and filled with Plantation homes and Bed and Breakfasts...I am picturing Steel Magnolia's in my head and can't wait to go visit in a few weeks.

Stephanie had to quit her job at Baylor where she worked in the child development center with newborns up to toddlers. She has been with her babies since they were only a few weeks old and now they are two years old, so I know it was hard to leave them...thank goodness Manita's sister has twins, one for each arm, that Steph could hold for a little baby therapy :) They are the most precious babies...they are still so petite at 7 months old and look like little dolls.

Mom and Dad's 34th wedding anniversary was the same day as the wedding, but Dad was in North Dakota working so he couldn't be there.
Happy 34th Anniversary Mom and Dad!
