Weddings and Parties




It is the month for weddings...One every Saturday for the month of July. 
First up: Shane and Susie. We know Shane from Juneau and just recently met Susie here in Portland. Their's is a lovely story of redemption and finding each other after being friends as little kids. God is truly a good God and has gifted them with marriage. 



Gwyndolyn's 5'th birthday party!!
Our youngest niece turned 5 finally and had a wonderful princess birthday party! Check out the cake my sister made!! I will probably hire her to make mine when we finally have kids. She is an amazing mom!!




John and Melissa Penewit!
Congratulations to these two. I've known John since high school and also recently met Melissa. There was a wonderful group of people whom I've know for so long there, so it was a good gathering of people!! And such a beautiful location and the food was awesome!!


Old roomies from college and high school classmates, Amanda and Bethany.

Fun at the Zoo.

I was very excited to go to the zoo with my two good girlfriends, Amanda and Lisa. I hadn't seen Lisa in over 3? years...Yikes!! So here's the show!
Watching the elephant do some minor tricks for the handler. 

The cheetah's had just woken up and were very close to the glass. Beautiful!!!

Amanda and Lila petting the "tame" creatures at the zoo.

I love giraffes. What an amazing creation. God had a great imagination.

Me, Amanda, Lila, Lisa and Sarah.
