Pensacola Visit

Last Saturday my sister, Samantha, married Brian Hannah in Pensacola. I was lucky enough to go down to visit for a week. Our family came down from Michigan and over from Texas and California as well. It has been such a long time since we've all been able to get together. I am so glad that I didn't miss this! We had such a good time. Next time Tom should be back so that he will be able to meet everyone.

Mom and her sisters, Aunt Cym and Aunt Susie.

All the cousins and significant others except for Adam, who had to fly back to Michigan early and Logan, who wasn't able to come down.

Here's Adam at the rehearsal dinner.

Amanda, Justin and Aunt Susie.

Josh and Chris hanging out on Sunday.

Mom and Samantha after getting their hair done. Samantha was surprisingly calm the whole morning. She was definitely not the "bridezilla" we thought she was going to be. I was very proud of her:)

Brian and Samantha opening gifts on Sunday afternoon after the wedding.

Samantha and Brian at the couples shower that his parents threw for them.

We only got one picture of the 4 of us together the entire weekend. It was so nice for us to be together. I'm glad that even though we live far apart, we are able to stay so close.

Me watching Samantha and Brian open the gift from me and Tom. I had only finished it about an hour before this. It was a 2 month labor of love.

Samantha opening up the recipe book that I put together for her and Brian. It has most of my Mom's recipes and some family recipes, as well.

Andrea, Gianna and Adrian came all the way over from California for the wedding. I'm so glad that you could make it!
