In honor of Valentine's Day...... and in true accordance with my belated style...... a tribute to love.
Last year was the year of weddings! (and yes, I am taking the liberty of including December 'o7 in the category of 'last year'...it was a long year!) It was such an honor to stand by 4 of my best friends' sides - Laura, Ashley, Lindsey, and Martha - as they began their marriages. I love these girls and am so excited they have found their forever Valentines :)
Laura, Ashley, Martha and I were college roommates and have remained close in our post-college years. We have had many an adventure together and are sure to have many more. The four of us have served as bridesmaids for one another and it has been such a special process to celebrate each others weddings.
Laura and Taylor Moore are two kind and gentle spirits and make quite the beautiful couple. They met in medical school and we were all quick to realize that they were the perfect match. On December 22, 2007, they were married in a beautiful ceremony followed
by an eventful 2008. We have been lucky enough to see Laura and Taylor as they journeyed to Houston for boards and interviews this past year....and speaking of perfect match, we are anxiously awaiting to see where they will match for residency! (HOUSTON! HOUSTON!...a selfish wish). It has been such a blessing to be have been able to spend time with them this past year as they proceeded us into the journey to parenthood by a few months and have been able to provide great advice and support. Their absolutely beautiful baby girl, Adelyn Taylor Moore, made her arrival on January 20th, 2009 and is sure to be Caris's best friend! We love the Moore family and can't wait to see them again!

Ashley and John!! From the moment these two met, it was clear that they were destined to be together. I had never seen Ashley so sure of anything! John allows Ashley's 
amazing spirit to flourish and they are never short on adventure. They also make quite the handsome pair. (see picture...told you!) Ashley and Laura got engaged on the same day and fittingly married in the same week!! I loved it! Ashley and John Ellis were married in a stunning candlelight ceremony in The Woodlands on Decmenber 28, 2007. Soooo beautfiful! They now live in Chicago so we don't get to see them too much :( But I hold out hope for a return to Houston. In the meantime, we will hope to visit them wherever their journey leads them. A visit to the Ellis' is sure to include lots of laughs and undoubtedly a coersion to a random Ashley adventure! Never a dull moment with these two to say the least.

Sweet Martha and Ben! They are the quintessential Hill Country couple. They began dating when Garrett and I lived in San Antonio and we had so much fun getting to know Ben and see how happy he made Martha. These two are always on the go and you could expect
a day with the Gray's to include hunting on the ranch, a perfectly grilled meal courtesy of both Ben and Martha, and great conversation. We also love that Martha did not have to change her monogram after she got married....and that she will be Dr. Gray. Martha and Ben's wedding on September 5, 2008 and she was a gorgeous bride, it was a true Hill Country event! The Gray's live just a few hours from us and we look forward to any excuse to visit them in San Antonio. (As an aside...Baby B was unknowingly 5 weeks old at Martha's wedding! her first big event of the season...We found out about baby the day after the wedding!)

We grew up together in Albany and were kindergarten BFF's ....and since that final 'F' stands for forever, we followed d
irections and remained that way! Lindsey and I have shared many life events and she is such a precious fr
iend. We have been lucky enough to re-unite in both Austin and Houston in our post Albany days. Lindsey and Patrick Gore have been great friends during our relocation to Ho
uston. They are a beautiful, happy couple who just may the kindest people you will ever encounter. Their wedding in Lakeway, TX was an absolutely amazing weekend and Lindsey was the ever gracious and beautiful bride. I can always count on these two to liven up my Houston parties and to contribute Chik-fil-A!! Love you guys! (They are such a photographic couple too...seriously they take the most amazing photos together!)
