I’ll never forget asking Trey when I photographed their engagement photos, “When did you know you were going to marry Lexie?” He replied, “A month after we started dating.” Well, that was in high school in the mind of a love-struck teenager. But as the years passed, that love-struck teenage heart turned into a heart of commitment. Trey and Lexie both had been making plans for their future together. Well, this day was the celebration of all those years making plans. It truly was beautiful. Many family and friends joined together to celebrate Trey and Lexie making a covenant to each and to God. Everyone had a great time just being together!

Is it really time to go back to school? I feel like it’s still the end of May and we are just preparing for summer! It’s been a while since I’ve been here. The absence has meant that life has been full. Our family has traveled to Albuquerque, Austin, Abilene, Brownwood, back to Austin, Belton, back to Abilene, Lubbock, San Antonio, and then to Artesia, New Mexico! Here are some fun/not-so-fun highlights from our summer adventures!

At 12, she still has the same sweet disposition. Although she is turning into a teenager, she still likes to snuggle. She is still a great sleeper! She is always the party-pooper at sleepovers, being the first to fall asleep! She is a talented volleyball player and can make friends with a brick wall. She loves taking notes at church and fiercely loves her friends! She gets more beautiful as she gets older. I’m super proud to be her mom.
