Introducing The Nelson's !

Well, to mark the ten month anniversary of my last post, I have decided to pick it back up again! There is lots of talk of a new computer for Christmas so this will allow me more time to blog, since I only have a computer at work right now. There are lots of things I need to catch up on, but we will start with the most important: Our Wedding. Our wedding was on July 25, 2009 at the Baptist Church at McAdory. It was everything that I hoped it would be. The only thing I was sad about was that my scrapbook I slaved over was forgotten and never got put on our sign-in table for our guests to see! I believe we were smooth-sailing if that was our only disaster! The ceremony was beautiful... Evan's grandfather married us making it extra special. My cousin Meagan played piano for us and Evan's cousin Chris sang one of my favorite songs, "Love Is Not A Fight" by Warren Barfield. (It's on the movie Fireproof)

Evan's other cousin Haley made us a wonderful DVD slideshow of our lives from baby pictures to engagement photos. We had a special song with pictures of our grandparents that have passed away- We viewed it for the first time at our rehearsal dinner and it was a sad moment for everyone, but we were so glad that we got to honor them and remember them on our special day. We had another song for our parents, one for our siblings, and one for our friends. I will treasure it forever.

Evan's grandmother did our entire reception and the food was wonderful! We had all of our favorites: shrimp, glass-bottle cokes, cheese straws, cordial pecans, etc....everything was yummy!

After a great celebration, it was off for our honeymoon for 6 days and 5 nights in Gulf Shores. Thank you to Miss Donna for letting us stay in her condo for our wedding present!

Here are a few wedding photos...




















As you can see, they are all mixed up, but you get the idea. I love looking at these photos over and over because they remind me of just how lucky I am to have such a wonderful husband and family. I am very lucky to belong to a new family as well as my own. I am now an aunt and very proud of that! I have been nothing but blessed by our marriage. I am so happy and proud to be Evan's wife.
