wedding

Brent was asked to be the best man in his friend Toby's wedding.  Yesterday was the big day.  It was held on the beach at Fort Monroe but was super windy and cold but at least the predicted rain didn't come.  Today its warm and in the 80s go figure. But it was a beautiful wedding.
It was fun for me to get to meet a lot of Toby's family.  Brent and Toby have been friends for over 16 years.  The best part for me was to meet Brents friends Andrew and Nicole.  Andrew's parents are amazing and I got to know them really well our first year of marriage when we were living in Northern Va.  They not only supported us financially with Crusade but they found us a place to live and we got involved in their church. They were such an encouragment and we were sad when they retired and moved up to Conn to be with Andrew and Nicole.  But last night I finally got to meet their son and daughter in law after hearing about them for so many years. 
I didn't get to see Brent much during the wedding or this weekend but it was still fun to go and be without the kids for a little bit.  My parents came over to watch the boys and put them to bed. Thanks Mom and Dad.  And Joel slept better than he has in a week. He even pooped last night!  Poor kid has been so constipated lately.   (Brent just leaned over and said that he thinks orange looks good on him - meaning the tie. My response - what have I been telling you all these years. Orange looks good on everyone :)  I think some orange Hokie clothes should be on Brents Christmas list!) 
A beautiful wedding.  A fun couple.  And now Brent can relax and not stress about the toast he had to give :)  (he did a great job of course)
