Tony + Wendy = Dr and Mrs Farmer

Some of our dear friends tied the knot this past weekend!  It was a beautiful weekend full of love, happiness, fun and friends.  They had one of the best first dances EVER! 

Tony and I went to middle school and high school together.  We got to know each other in Latin when I was in 7th grade and he was in 8th.  We remained friends through high school when he played on the baseball team and I kept stats for the team.  Tony was the one who would always help clarify for me how to score a play if I was confused (which happened a lot). 

Tony went to Mercer where he met Tim (way before I met Tim!).  They took numerous classes together and studied more biology together than you can imagine.  They became close friends while in college, so it was really neat when Tim and I met to realize Tony was a mutual friend!

Tony went on to medical school and is now a Hospitalist in Virginia. . .  where he met sweet Wendy!  Wendy has such a sweet, tender spirit, and she's beautiful to boot!  We have really enjoyed getting to know her.  After going skiing with them and another couple back in February, we got to know and love Wendy even more!

Our heart truly overflowed as we watched them become husband and wife Saturday.  The reception was a blast as there were tons of friends there celebrating with us!  AJ the DJ kept the tunes flowing, and we all had the best time on the dance floor. 

(this picture makes me smile so big.  Why yes, that's my husband in the middle singing his heart out!)

There was a sweet time of toasting the couple where some stories were shared, memories were laughed over and the happy couple was honored and loved. 

 

Yours truly had a few words on her heart, but if you know me at all, you know in a situation like that, the tears?  They just flow.  But, I was able to tell the two of them later on the dance floor how happy we are for them. 

One of my very favorite sentiments that was written on our big picture frame at our wedding is from Tony.  It says, "It was worth the wait, B!"  How exciting it was for me to tell him and Wendy Saturday, "It IS worth the wait, now you know, too!"

Another of our friends, Amber Wilburn, is a crazy talented photographer, and she shot the wedding.  You definitely will want to check out her sneak peak.  Oh. My. Goodness. 

Makes me wanna get married again.

To Tim, of course!  ;)

Congratulations, Dr and Mrs Farmer!  The best is surely yet to come!

Molly's 22 Months Old

This picture really says it all. . .  22 Months has brought out the most independent little girl yet!  She absolutely refused to sit in her green rocking chair for this month's picture.  Here's what happened when I tried to over ride her....

Yeah, she was not having it.  So we compromised on her little "rock rock".  As much as it drives me batty this picture isn't like the other 21, it's also just fine since it's real life! 

What fun this age is!  Molly continues to learn new words and phrases all the time.  She chatters constantly, and she's absolutely crazy about "Eddie", Ellie.  Ellie asked her mom the other day, "why Mohee call me Eddie?"  :-)

Other than "Eddie", Molly is crazy about her "Yahee" and "CiCi".  Every time she sees Tim's phone, she picks it up and says, "I wan tak CiCi."  Anytime pulls up in the driveway, Molly goes bananas and screams, "yahee!!" at the top of her lungs!

Molly is still a super picky eater, but she does love milk and "appul jush".  I think the child would eat "muffies" every single morning if I let her.  Muffins have taken the place of nutri-grain bars as her go-to each morning.

Molly gets so excited when she spots trucks, busses, and bikes on the road.  It's been fun this month watching her become so much more aware of what goes on around our car when we're on the road.

Bubbles and "b balls" are two of Molly's very favorites right now.  We easily have 8 balls in this house at the moment of all sizes from small balls to a basketball.  All of them are "b balls".  And she'll let you blow bubbles until you're light headed.  She loves it!  We blow tons of bubbles each afternoon when we're "ot side", which she loves.  Molly enjoys every minute of being "ot side" where we "run", "jup", "fwing" look for "cat piyahs" and feed the "duck ducks". 

Yep, this is such a fun age.  I say it all the time, but it just gets better and better!  Lovin' it!!!



Easter

Easter was a busy time for us this year.  Yet another sign Molly's growing up! 
We had a fun picnic with friends where the kids played, ate lunch, and heard the Resurrection story. Molly and Ellie both loved the swings!

Saturday we went to our church's egg hunt.  It's a huge production!  It was our first time going, and we were totally blown away.  Molly's age up through preschoolers hunted eggs on the softball field.  Molly was clueless at first, a little overwhelmed at times, but she hung in there with help from her Daddy and grabbed a few eggs!

Sunday morning we went to church, then we had my family over for lunch.  We were all decked out in our Sunday best!

After lunch, Molly napped while we watched the Masters, then we headed over to a wedding shower for a little while.  We made it home in time to watch the end of the Masters (Go, Bubba!!), and we tucked a tired little Molly into bed for the night.  It was really the perfect weekend! 

He is Risen!

He is Risen Indeed!
