Dawn and Dave are married!!!
They tied the knot at the beautiful Stonebrook Golf Club on a bright, sunny, very windy early summer day! And when I say windy....I mean BLUSTERY and wiiinnddddy! But that didn't stop the celebration of love for these two from their intimate gathering of family and friends. Dawn and Dave met and blossomed their romance while both working for Best Buy. They fell in love and the rest is history!
Their day was stunning with intimate touches throughout. Guests stood and watched the ceremony from the balcony while family members had a closer look from the chairs set up nearer to the couple! It was magnificent day and Dawn looked absolutely radient! All the details were beautiful and everyone was incredibly eager to share in the excitement with the two love birds!

And OF COURSE Dawn (Ms. Best Buy) is emailed, texting and keeping up on her Blackberry! What else would a girl do on her wedding day right??? :) 
Dawn's Dad, Charlie, was the cutest ever. You can tell that both Dawn and her Dad have a very sweet and real relationship with one another; he was glowing all day just watching his girl!
Did I mention that it was windy??
If you'll notice in the photo above the 2 collums on either side of Dawn and Dave are being wonderfully displayed. But if you'll look close at the photo below both sets of flowers are ON THE GROUND! In the matter of a split second both sets were toppled over from the gusts.....
But it didn't stop anyone, especially Dawn, from sharing her I do's with the man she loves!!! And she even "popped her foot" during their first kiss.....everyone cracked up!
Dave *loves* to golf and *loves* this course so we headed out to a few holes to get some Dawn + Dave time. The course is amazing and we ended up snapping tons because it was so beautiful!

We headed back to their party while the guests eagerly awaited their arrival. The room was filled with laughing, joking, catching up with old friends and MUCH ooow-ing and awee-ing at the newlyweds!!
This is Dave's reenactment of the blustery ceremony! HA!!!
We wish you all the best you two love birds!!! It was a fantastic day and we were thrilled to be a part of it! :)

At two weeks old you can already tell that Charlie is going to be a handsome little guy. I caught a glimpse of his his little dimples when he smiled at Mommy a few times and his dark eyes are enough to make anyone want to cuddle with him for hours. I am sure fond of him! :)
I CAN NOT WAIT to see this little guy grow up and fall in love with cars, make forts and run around chasing his puppies!

I told you that those sweet little dimples would make you fall in love.....
This picture just CRACKS ME UP!!! Charlie has the "I am feeling safe becasue I have my Mommy and my Nook, but seriousely some body get this lady OUT OF HERE!" look on his face. He has quite the expression for a newborn! :)
And my favorite Daddy-Charlie picture EVER!
I love you Mr. Charlie and can't wait to see you again! :)

I would argue that Maria's baby bump is *the cutest* growing thing on this side of the St. Croix river...although I might be biased. Maria is one of my dear dear friends that has made me laugh, been my walking partner, inspired me to knit, given me a snot rag when I cry too much and always always *always* been there for me through my life's roller coaster.
Maria is one of those people you meet in life and never ever want to let go of....I KNOW that my life has more smiles because she is a large part of it. She is due in July and couldn't be happier for Brent and Maria to welcome this new little bundle into the world......
Maria, I hope that you don't hate me for publically sharing this next photo but it CRACKS ME UP SOOOO MUCH! From the *most* hilarious expression on her face, you can (a) tell how much she feels like the baby needs to come out soon and (b) get some sense of just how funny Maria can be! This was one of those *slpit second* shots that I had to snap and save!! :)

And isn't is just soooo darn obvious why she is so dear to my heart???!?!?! :)
My absolute favorite of the day...isn't she just stunning?????
Maria, you are going to be the BEST MOM in the whole world. *I promise*

...greater things are still to be done in this City...
On Thursday of last week over 140 local churches gathered in the walls of Eaglebrook to learn, grow and be inspired by one another. It was AWE-SOME folks...I am telling ya to be in that room with so many leaders was sweet because you can tell they are all sold out to what they do. To change lives.
The highlight of the day was when Bill Hybels, from Willow Creek, was here for a little question and answer time with Bob. What an inspiring man....my favorite quote from him was "It's simple. I do my job because people matter!" Man do I *like* him!!!
There, of course, was great speaking and excellent music....BUUUTTT what would a conference be without some good humor and streching calisthenics during those lengthy stretches in your seat....
And then....Mr. Bill Hybels himself....

I wish that everyone I met had the same exuberance for life that Jen + Steve do! They are 100%, head over heals in love and the amount of playful, gigglie moments in their life is never ending so far (which you can CLEARLY see in the photos). Although Jen would argue that Steve instigates things quite often....but they are still stinkin cute to me! :)
Jen's laugh is SUPER contagious so when she started laughing like this I was luck that I didn't join in which made my camera start to shake.... :)
AND THEN we went to "Cup and Cone" which is the best, most awesome, White-Bear-Lake-ish Ice Cream place in White Bear Lake!
And then Steve tried to offer Jen a lick of his ice cream......
Um......NO HE DIDN'T!!! But isn 't Jen's face the funniest thing ever???? She looks petrified...
Um......NO HE DIDN'T!!! But isn 't Jen's face the funniest thing ever???? She looks petrified...
I am soooo psyched for Jen + Steve's wedding in June!!!! Stay tuned....

God bless, you, Jen. What a beautiful woman you are. Steve must be a very special man for God to have brought you into his life. You are glowing and these photos capture the love, joy and peace you share. Congratulations to you and to Emily who's photos could talk.

I had the privilege of hanging out with the Vosbergs last weekend to play with the boys and meet little Mr. Rowan. We had some coffee, played with trains, and I was able to see a glimpse of this cute, playful and amazinly BEAUTIFUL family! Mommy, Jill, is one of the wonderfully talented program directors for the Kid-o program at Eaglebrook...so, needless to say they are ABSOLUTELY spunky and have many gigglie nights together!
Doesn't this shirt just crack you up???
