Oregon- Part 1: a wedding and a niece

Now that my sister has been married for more than a month, I don't feel like I have much to blog about! I've been waiting for pictures, but I don't have any yet.

First, let me say that I can't believe my baby sister is married. I was so much more emotional at her wedding than I was at my own! The ceremony was beautiful and so simple. She looked beautiful in her cowboy boots and dress with pockets!

The newly weds are doing well, they were meant for each other. Now that the wedding is over they are preparing for their next big adventure in life: the arrival of my niece, Adalee Megan Taggart.

I can't wait to meet the little monkey! I think she has my nose. ;-)

Oregon- Part 2

Ok, ok. I know, part two is a long time coming. Sorry!

My friend, Rachel, asked Andy and I to be godparents to her baby girl, Lilliana Rose Mary. While we were in Oregon we got to attend her baptism. She is a precious little girl and it was such a blessing to see her receive the gift of baptism.

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."

I love those words! Liliana has been born into a living hope, the same great hope that we have because of the death and resurrection of Jesus.
