They Did it! HOORAY!

So...it came and went.

Done.

I can't believe it's over.

And it was AMAZING.  So. So Wonderful.

I'm exhausted and too tired to blog in detail...but I know you have been waiting....So here they are...pictures from the wedding weekend.  There aren't many...because carrying your camera around Tahoe is almost impossible. But I did capture a few....I'm not too worried we had the best photographers in the world getting every detail that I know I missed.  So here you are...

Ben and Britt's wedding weekend, starting from door to door.

p.s.  Not one picture of Clay and I together.

Not. One.

Let's all beg Mia Hope to post their pictures ASAP, so you can see all of their hard work.

Have I mentioned how wonderful they are???

And just for fun.....

My Wedding toast!

Everyone knows these two kids hold a special place in my heart.  I could not wait for Ben to pop the question.  And when he finally did I was ecstatic. 

This story starts way back in  Fall of 1986 when Mom and Dad told me they were pregnant.

Again.

  I had been through this twice before, and I knew the routine....

but this time.... this time, it was going to be a girl.  I was going to finally get my sister.

I could feel it. 

But March 9th, 1987 arrived and so did Benjamin.

A Boy. Another Brother.  AWESOME. 

But, being the only girl has it's perks.  Having three brothers is pretty cool, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

And Ben is Awesome.  Don't get me wrong, if you need a laugh, he's your man.  If you need loyalty, he's right by your side, He has been an amazing Brother.   And he definitely completed our family.

But in the back of my mind, I always yearned for a sister. Someone to share clothes with, someone to play dress up with, someone I could teach make up tips too....

And while Ben was good for all that...

I always dreamed for another girl in the family.

Let's fast forward a few years...

The first time I met Brittany she was an adorable teenager who clearly only had eyes for one.

I loved her immediately.  It was an easy choice to persuade her to be my nanny for Jack.  She fit into our lives like a missing puzzle piece.  We clicked from the start.  I love her breeziness, her kindness, her loving heart and the ability to calm a very colicky baby. 

I have been lucky to call Brittany, my employee, my roommate, my friend, and now, finally My Sister.

Brittany, THANK you for saying yes.  THANK YOU for putting up with Ben, with all of us really.  We need you, and we love you so.  I could not have hand pick a more perfect addition to this family.

So please raise your glass for an Irish Toast.  

May the road rise to meet you

May the sun always be at your back

May god be with you and bless you

May you see your children's children

May you be poor in misfortune and rich in blessings

and 

May you know nothing but happiness from this day forward.

To Ben and my new sister Brittany  

I wish you a lifetime of Love.
