Road Trip to Florida!

Not long after we got back from Texas, we decided to go ahead and visit lots of friends and family on our way through Florida. We started off in Orlando visiting our friends, the McCollum's. We then journeyed to Port St. Lucie and stopped by Paul's parents, Paul & Bev. After some quality time with them, we stayed with my mom in Naples, Florida. We got to relax on the beach and at the clubhouse pool. It was much needed relaxation after all the wedding planning and travelling! We were sad to get back to reality.

Road Trip to Dallas!

About 2 weeks after the wedding, Paul and I had some free time so we packed up the newlyweds wedding gifts and some of Heather's stuff, rented this cool van (ha!), and headed off to Dallas. On the way, we stopped in Longview, TX, to hopefully visit my brother and his family. We were only able to meet up with Angela, but it was great at least to see her! We headed on and stayed with Steve and Heather in their cute apartment on the 25th floor right downtown! We stayed for a couple days, then headed back and stopped in Texarkana, Arkansas to see our dear friends, Bruce & Judi Yelverton.

Beach Time and a Bridesmaid Luncheon

It was great to spend the weekend with all of our family, and even meet some new family from Steve's side. We decided to have a luncheon in honor of the bridesmaids and had it at the cute cafe right at our hotel. Somehow, we got in some beach and pool time, it was great to relax while we could. The weather for the weekend couldn't have turned out any better! Thank you all for your prayers for this weekend! They were ANSWERED!!
