Wedding Crashers

Well this past weekend after attending a wedding in Dyersburg, CB and I decided to take a look at our wedding calendar for 2008. What we discovered led me to believe that after my experience with weddings I might as well become The Wedding Planner! Cari-Beth has the honor of being in Nicole King's wedding on March 1st. I will be in my good friend Jeremy Lewis's wedding in June and then in Scott Penny's wedding in August. We will unfortunately miss Nick Bell and Meredith's wedding in Florida! Shhheeww. We are so excited about these events and are both honored to stand by their sides when they take THE PLUNGE! So be prepared, because to each of these events I will have my dancing shoes! If any of you know Brad King he will rock the house in March. Jeremy and Scott have some killer moves themselves!

It is a scary thing to look around and see that so many people are getting married! Scary in the fact that time flies by! The next step is all the baby showers (which we have been to quite a few already.) If it is true that time only speeds up as we get older, then I better put on my seatbelt, because I feel like the years are passing fast already!

With all the wedding talk I can't help but remember the magical day that Cari-Beth and I shared almost 3 years ago! I must include a few of those photos to share.

Grandma has the moves!

Brian and Penny back in the day!

Keith and Patty way back when (Killer Tux Dad!)

Cari-Beth and I have shared so many special moments over the past (Almost) 3 years. I hope that these couples who are getting married can find the joy that we have!

Updates!!

Well, it seems that the McDonalds life will change once more. After long prayer and thought, CB and I have decided to move back to Bartlett. We really grew to miss the family and friendships we have there. So the Lord really opened up doors QUICKLY for us. We already have a contract signed on the house! My father-in-laws parents will be moving from Millington to Dyersburg. They are going to buy our house. That is perfect since our house is next door to Cari-Beth's parents!

We are moving in with my parents!! I am interested to see how this goes, but we love Mom and Dad so much and are excited that the Mayor McDonald Plaza will have a room available as we search for a home. I will be starting to work at McDonald Insurance and Financial services on March 3rd! I am extremely excited about rejoining the team. I feel I have grown so much in the business and feel I am prepared to do my best there. I have loved the experience at White and Associates and will miss all my co-workers there. Cari-Beth is well on her way in student teaching. She currently is in 3rd grade with the youth ministers wife from West Dyersburg Church of Christ. She loves the experience. She will begin Kindergarten at the primary school the beginning of March. She is loving it, but is a bit overwhelmed with the move and all. She will begin interviews soon, looking to get into an Elementery school in Shelby County this Fall. Please pray for us in that endeavor.

That is all for now. Praise God for the work in our lives. I pray that we will be open to his guidance. We are also excited about rejoining to family at Sycamore View!
