From 5 to 6

It was the celebration of all celebrations....Bradley got married!  Our family is so happy to have an "Allie Utz" now!  The weekend was perfect and then some...

 Selfishly, this was my favorite part of the entire weekend!  It meant the WORLD to me to have "my girls" there to share this special day with my family.  They came from near and far to be at this wedding....they are by far the best friends a girl could ever ask for. 

The smartest thing my family did was hire Lauren and Sarah to help with the wedding...they pulled it off!  Lauren decorated and Sarah did all the photography!  I have nightmares about what it would have been like without their help. 

No matter what....

NC will always be home....



Who knew?

When I moved, I always imagined that trips home would be my craving....and they are.  BUT, what I never imagined is that I would have a hard time leaving Dallas and missing my friends here.  I board the plane today, and I am overwhelmed by how hard it is to leave.  I will love being in NC....and I'll love when it's time to come back to TX!  These people have made my life so sweet, and have made Dallas feel like home.  I miss you guys already......

Tex

Quite possibly my favorite picture with Ward.  His favorite book is called "Tex" and he has most of  it memorized.  It is about a little boy named Luke that dreams of being a cowboy named Tex.  This is Ward's version of Tex....

Official

It feels so good to be official members of Watermark Church!  We finished the membership class and are so HAPPY to be in this "family!"  Of course, things like this are so much more fun because I'm going through it with these precious girlfriends.
