Thursdays Thanksgiving

I wanted to take some time today to share with you someone that I am extremely thankful for! My sweet cousin Rachel has made a huge impact on my life. She is a godly example and her love for the Lord is evident in all that she does! Rachel is getting married this Saturday and I could not be more thrilled for her and her groom Matt! Both Matt and Rachel's love for the Lord and their desire to bring glory to Him is evident in their lives and in their relationship! Ethan and I are so excited for them!

Rachel, You are such a blessing in my life and so many others! I am excited and honored to be apart of your wedding day! You are going to be a beautiful bride! I love you Rachel! Congratulations!

Wedding # 2

August is full of wedding for the Crowder's to attend! We have a total of 3 this month! This past weekend was the wedding of our long time friend Ben. He married one of the sweetest girls ever, Maureen(aka. Moe). Ben is one of Ethan's best friends and he was also one of the best men in mine and Ethan's wedding! Ethan was a groomsman so we headed to the rehearsal on Friday afternoon and enjoyed a mini getaway since the wedding was out of town. The wedding was beautiful and the food was so yummy! We ate good all weekend :) My favorite part was the wedding cake and the photo booth :) Can't wait to see how those pictures turned out! Here are a few pictures that I took over the weekend!

Ashley and I at the rehearsal. Ashley is married to Mike, who is Ben's older brother. Mike was also in our wedding and Ethan was in Mike and Ashley's wedding this past May! Ashley is a sweet heart and I enjoyed getting to catch up with her!

Weekend Recap

On Friday night Ethan and I went to my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew's house to spend some time with them and my cousin Sarah who was also there! My sister and cousin were preparing the flowers for my other cousins wedding on Saturday so I was also there to help them! We enjoyed catching up with all of them and playing with our nephew James! Saturday was the wedding so I stayed to help them finish the flowers. Ethan was going to Island's of Adventure on Sunday so he left Saturday afternoon to go stay with some of his friends. My cousin was getting married on the beach so we headed that way with all the flowers and enjoyed a beautiful wedding and a great time catching up with family! Ethan came home last night!! It was a busy, but fun weekend!!

Ethan took this picture while hanging out with James on Saturday morning!

On our way to the wedding! James loves my iPhone!

I just want to squeeze him!!
