Wedding Weekend

This past weekend my father in law got married. It was glorious. My father in law is well off, and so it was like watching Beyonce & Jay Z getting married. Except, well George & Carol are white. Anyways. moving on.

George & Carol have been together since Jonny & I started dating, and we are excited to welcome her warmly into the Tillery clan. Below are some photos from the day, enjoy!

The ceremony sight was gorgeous. So many lovely flowers.

The happy couple! Mr. George & Mrs. Carol Tillery!



A close up of the flowers! Breathtaking.

We enjoyed gorgeous flowers, lovely music, absolutely delicious food, it was an all around good time for everyone in attendance. Miss Carol (now Mrs. Carol, according to Walker) is solid gold, so we brought out all the stops to celebrate their love.
Best.Day.Ever.
My main squeeze, isn't he hot?

Walker & Shanney
 Let me just interject in this brief moment and share with you this special moment from Shanney & Walker. It was in the middle of the best man's toast & he was sitting on her lap, playing with the flowers. She was trying to keep him occupied with anything and everything so he would stay quiet throughout the toasts. It had gotten really quiet, a serious moment in the toast, and walker says to shanney at a pretty high volume " I can see your boobies!!"
Insert my laughter & red face.
Moving on.
 Mamma & Jonny dancing. Blurry, but an incredibly rich moment.

This was the dessert trio, and every bight was fabulous.
My beautiful Sister :)

Jonny & his dad :)

 
My personal favorite moment of the night:
This was the minister who officiated the wedding. Notice the red solo cup, tucked in his pocket.
The wedding was every bit beautiful, and George & Carol are currently scuba diving the waters of Belize as I write this. I have no comment about where I would rather be.

Today we celebrated the life of a beloved friend, Kushi Jones. She suffered a heart attach almost two weeks ago now, and went home to be with Jesus the night of the wedding. While I cried, a lot, that woman was all around fabulous, and I know Heaven is better with her there. She embodied love, grace, mercy & humor. She loved Jesus and  traveled the world telling others about her King. I'm sure she is dancing, singing, and laughing with Jesus. Have a blast up there Kushi, see you soon.

Not Pregnant

There are moments you wait for your whole life. Ones that seem to pause all of time for just a brief second, when all is right with the world.  This post is not one about one of them. A few weeks ago I thought that I was pregnant.  I had some of the symptoms, and was late. I remember telling Jonny, "babe, I think I might be pregnant." He's so optimistic. "No, you can't be. WAIT.  Do you really think you are?"  I was extremely anxious. I started planning how perfect it would be if I was pregnant. Jonny would even rub my tummy saying "If you're in there, I love you so much." But then I would doubt everything and it was just overwhelming. We were in Texas with my family and I was trying to keep every emotional breakdown that I was having to myself. I was shopping with my mom and Jonny  at wal mart for some groceries and Jonny headed to the check out stand beforehand and got a pregnancy test. Bless his heart he bought the digit...

Thursday Morning Walks

For the past year or so I have walked on thursday mornings with friends. Two beauties in particular who walk the 1.72 miles around the block with me. We meet around 7 in the morning so that we can still have time to get ready for work and the day ahead. Usually we text each other the night before and make sure that we are still on for the next morning, to make sure that we aren't sick or need extra sleep due to the craziness of life. I've come to find that these Thursday mornings are precious to me. As the sun creeps through the trees, and wind gently blows in our faces we connect in a way that we may not have if we didn't wake before the sunrise to meet each other and walk. The girls I walk with, I've known for years. I've known them as young women entering college. I've mentored them, they've mentored me. We've cried together, we've laughed together, we have lived life together. I've watched them date the men they are married to now, I went...

A 3 Year Old Ring

Image
A few years ago on January 26, it was raining. It was cold and blustery. I remember wanting to wear a dress to a combined birthday party for my husband and nephew.  However due to the rain, I had to wear jeans & a coral sweater. I was frustrated, but #life. I remember showing up and being disappointing that it wasn't a surprise engagement party. I remember my friend said " Not everything is about you." The party was fun! If you know the Tillery's you know they go big for parties! Catered food, a live band, heck even a photographer to capture every bite of cake my nephew puts in his mouth. The rain had kept most of us inside, or inside my father in law's wine cave. Yes, you read right, he has a cave full of wine- of course there are other things, but mostly wine. The sun had begun peeking through the clouds in the later part of the afternoon, and my mom and dad decided to head home so they could miss the next onset of rain and make it home sa...
