So it didn't get much better....until... IT DID! (Kendra's Wedding)

Minnie was up Thursday night and well... that's enough of that talk... home from school for her on Friday and on Saturday we three gals just laid low until.... it was...

WEDDING TIME!

Kendra and Daniel were married on Saturday, even though I busted and busted her for planning a wedding during track season, and MAKING me go DATELESS...it was BEAUTIFUL.

One thing that overwhelmed me was all the service men there. The older I get, maybe the trip to NYC seeing the Statue of Liberty, maybe just the state of our country in general.... I am so much more appreciative of the sacrifice these men and women make to keep us FREE.

My sweet friend and beautiful mother of the bride... she has been mother of the GROOM three times before but this was her first stint on the "other side of the church" ;) she did it with such grace and beauty....

Happy Guy!

and you can see WHY! :)

You know you are a runner when.... (tan lines ;)

My sweet girls were so interested in it all and makes me wonder what is going through her pretty little three year old head (other than, "WHEN'S THE DANCING!?!?" which she asked me no less than 4 times during the service)

The girls and I drove over to the reception...

and here is a picture of my pretty dates ;)

The reception was all about chatting it up, eating food, playing games and just having FUN... TRUE Johnson style...

While we were on the swing.... DADDY CAME!!!! HAPPY GIRLS ALL AROUND!!!!

"Cake Table"

I love this lady... she is quiet, humble, sweet and all things I WISH to be...

My Camo-Guy STRAIGHT from the track meet... *swoon*

The moment she had been waiting HOURS for...DANCING! Except... she wasn't sure about doing it alone....

so... she went and asked Jeb... her bud and Kendra's brother.... she walked outside the tent and said "will you dance with me" he said "SURE!" grabbed her hands and off they went... I tell yah... any 16/17 year old boy that makes the ENTIRE DAY of a 3 year old little girl...

I SO wish these pictures were not blurry... there is 1) obviously something 'wrong' with the photographer but I think 2) there is actually something wrong with my camera :( boo hiss...
