Back to life, back to reality!

Hello! Back to Life, Back to Reality has been my motto throughout the week considering the weekend we had last weekend. Folks... we were in Aliceville, Alabama. It was the home of my dear friend Mary Lindsey's wedding. A little background of Aliceville, Alabama: according to Wikipedia and the 2000 census, 646 families reside in the city, Walter Jones, the left tackle of the Seattle Seahawks calls Aliceville home, and the Piggly Wiggly closes at 7:00 every evening. This place is incredible. I have met some of the sweetest and God loving people while in this town. They have it made.... all that us city folk have is convience! They get to focus on things that really matter like God and family without the hinderance of traffic jams and crime. I love that everyone knows everybody. I was talking to a sweet girl who is from Aliceville and she was telling me that her runs in town consist of a constant wave.... I love everything about that!!! Bottom line.... Kyle and I love Aliceville!
Now... lets take a minute to talk about the beautiful bride and the perfect wedding. My friend hit the nail on the head when she was talking about Mary Lindsey at the rehearsal dinner.. "The best word that describes Mary Lindsey is selfless. She would give you the last bites of her sandwich and the shirt off her back." It was an honor to celebrate such a special day with Mary and Chris. I have never been to a wedding weekend where I felt the love of God so much! I also got to be around some of my closest and dear friends that I no longer get to see everyday.... It was a great weekend.... I can't wait for the Newly Newlins to get back from Jamaica so we can all hear about their first week as husband and wife.

THIS WEEK: Leave for New York on Monday (first time)..... going with my mom, my tall friend, Sara Kate, and her mother... (I hope I get to see Brittany while we are there).... Friday will bring on the Woods/Serota wedding!!! I love Wedding season!!! Have a great week and enjoy the Spring weather in July!
