miles to go: January 2014

Mr & Mrs Valencia

January 4th, my brother was married to a beautiful lady that I now call my "sister"! We were all in the wedding, except Luke. My mother-in-love and sister-in-love (Lori, not Leigh) took care of him all day so we could be part of the festivities. Going off Facebook at the start of the year has made it difficult to obtain photos! It's a little crazy how easy Facebook made connecting with people in a convenient, albeit creeper-ish way, so I do admit that I actually had to sneak onto my husband's account and snag some of the photos. Ha! So, enjoy!

This is so cute! My husband is so beautiful, look at the way he is welcoming Leigh into the family with a nice arm around the back. He is the ideal man. Oh, and the baby and the bride are nice too! =)

The girls changed into a little more playful clothes to dance and twirl on the floor.

Photo booth!

Tim was like, "Was that a bug?" Yes, Tim, the race is on to make a bug. HA HA!

Off to married life!

Congratulations! You both look amazing, but of course, what happened is more amazing: two lives joined as one for the purpose of God's glory. Enjoy all the pleasures that marriage brings.

Love, Lauren

Did You Know...

Our biggest dream came true when we married in November 2007. We thank God for His power and grace in our lives to orchestrate our wedding. For the most part, we truly live in wedded bliss at home, "Knoview", tenderly caring for each other; ours was a match made in heaven. We share a passion for the Lord Jesus Christ, our children, the outdoors, reading, making each other laugh and growing together in our marriage. Tim is goofy, intuitive, thoughtful and loves cars. He also enjoys cookies, guns, snuggling, swimming, maps and Google traffic. Lauren is serious, forgetful, talkative and loves reading. Lauren likes running, singing, organizing, DIY blogs and Candy Cane Joe-Joe's. We both disdain horror movies, raw tomatoes, animal fur on the carpet and slow internet speed. We made a baby Bergon and named her Madeleine Jael. Madeleine likes pedaling her big wheel, her Lamby, reading & asking lots of questions, making jokes and is a sweet-hearted intelligent big sister. Then, we made another baby and named her Gracen November. Gracen loves cottage cheese & applesauce, her Daisy-doll, following her sister in imitation, reading, laughing and captives all within two inches of her lovely dimples. Then, we made another baby and named him Luke Henry. Luke loves milk and taking a nice afternoon nap in his swing. We all want more time together, to grow in our knowledge of Jesus, gas prices to go down, wide open space to run and play, and another baby or two.
