Wedding on 9.19

Last night Nathan and I headed to Indianapolis for a good friend, Erin Hudson's(now Kritenbrink) wedding. She married her her college sweetheart Jared in a beautiful outdoor ceremony at the Eiteljorg Museum downtown Indianapolis. She looked stunning in a ivory dress carrying lillys and hydrangeas. After the ceremony we had drinks and appetizers outside on the patio overlooking the canal that runs through Indy. The food was very yummy(it happened to be catered by the same people that did our wedding!!), the decorations were beautiful and the DJ was rockin the 80's list all night long(my husband was a dancing machine!).
It was neat to see how happy her and Jared looked throughout the night. We were seated with some of my sorority sisters that I had not seen in a while- it was great to catch-up and enjoy fun stories and laughs.

these were the outdoor chairs...they had the programs hanging on the backs of the chairs- such a cool idea.


loved this picture...Jared just saw Erin coming down the stairs with her dad.


Here comes the bride!!!

9.19
Not only was yesterday Erin's wedding but it was also my Dad's birthday. I tried to post about it yesterday morning but after starting the blog and starting to cry I decided to stop. It seems like just yesterday we were all sitting together at home enjoying a delicious family dinner that mom made, eating the homemade cake we decorated with LOTS of sprinkles and have fun watching him open all of the fun gifts that we got him. Man, I sure do miss him- he truly was the best dad a girl could ever ask for.
I am hopeful that he had a wonderful birthday and celebrated Heaven style!
