| sophomore year formal...#typical |
In my far-gone college days, I found these three women. There names are Juliann, Emily, and Vanassa. We all found each other in very different
ways, on different timelines and as different people, but find each
other we did.
 |
| Juliann. |
 |
| Emily. |
 |
| Vanassa. |
Somewhere along the line there was an inside joke and
someone made up the word "boodle" and that transitioned into a nickname
and now here we are, 7 years later, and we're still the Boodles. These
three women have blessed my life in ways I could never put to words. I
have been blessed beyond measure by their friendship.
 |
| The Boodles. So much love! |
In the past five weeks, two of the boodles have gotten married! On June
9, Emily got married in San Antonio in an incredibly beautiful and
joyful ceremony.
 | |
| Such a beautiful bride!! |
And then, this past weekend Juliann got married in Santa Barbara in another incredibly beautiful and joyful ceremony.
 |
| Another beautiful bride! |
I can't give words to how grateful and honored I feel to have been a
part of these two celebrations. They were vastly different but there was
one fundamental similarity - they were ceremonies of praise and
promise...praise to the Father who brought these couples together and
ordained the institution of marriage in the first place, and promise to
love in a way that represents the father who first loved us and who does
so perfectly.

| Bridesmaids :) |
It's kind of incredible how four girls who met at 18 can grow up into
women, live in four different states, be in four different relationship
stages, and have four completely separate lives and yet still be
connected in the deepest of ways. What a gift from our Father!
 |
| So blessed. |
