heather + rodney {are married!!}

You may remember Heather and Rodney from there fun engagement session HERE.  Brett and I went to school with Rodney, and one of our past brides is one of Heather’s best friends, so we felt right at home at this wedding.  :)

To top it off, the bridal party got ready and had pictures before at Heather’s parents beautiful farm, which is in the same small town I grew up in.

Then we went down to the pond for some photos.  I thought Heather was brave being around her doggie…soaking wet.

getting out of here!

Just wanted to let everyone know that Brett and I are heading out early this morning for a BEAUTIFUL wedding in Vero Beach, Florida.  We will be gone all weekend and staying at the Costa d’ Este resort.  I know, life is hard.  :)  If you call or email us, we will get back to you on Monday.  Thanks for being understanding!

Something that is going to be extremely hard is being away from our babies…especially our little guy.  Here he is right after he enjoyed his birthday treat.  Isn’t he a cutie pie?
