But God...

I had to let go of the dream of seeing Sophie Kate come down the aisle a long time ago.  I had to mourn the loss of her in a beautiful dress and all things wedding. And while it is not something I think about every day, it is something that creeps back into my mind, my thoughts and my dreams from time to time...and each time I have to let go of it again.  As far as I was concerned, I had to come to terms with the fact that it would never happen. That's how I dealt with it...just let it go, it will never happen.

But God...

I love when stories begin that way because something really special is about happen, something that is unexpected, unforeseen and truly lovely.  

God brought families together and formed relationships that have grown over many years.  Through that friendship and through that connection God brought about the unexpected.


Our sweet girl as the flower girl in Callie and Conley's wedding...
We did it all from the Bridal Tea, to the Bridesmaids Brunch...
 to the Rehearsal, to the Rehearsal dinner...
to the Wedding itself.  For all things wedding our girl was front and center, ahem, I mean after the Bride and Groom, of course.


Hanging out in the Bride's room...
 Getting her hair done...
Ready for the big day with her best guy by her side...
Yes, Grey was in the wedding too.  He pushed her down the aisle and yes it was almost more than my heart could hold.

I got to see my girl come down the aisle...a dream that I believed died the day she was born.  God is in the details of our lives!! Someone needs to hear that today.  He cares about our hurts and our hearts.  

It was a perfectly lovely day.
