Nifty Thrifty Tuesday No.72...It Was Wonderful

Hello ladies...I'm so happy to be back blogging after a week away. My week was soooo wonderful...spent several days with family and friends celebrating my daughters wedding. Everything went great with the wedding and Haley had the wedding of her dreams...I don't think I've ever seen such a calm and HAPPY bride as she was...I'm one PROUD mom to say the least. Today I'm sharing a few pics from the wedding that were taken by friends of ours. We had our photographers with us from 7:00 am-6:00 pm...so believe me...we have thousands of pics coming from the two of them. I'm still very worn out from all the fun...so I'm cutting this post short...thanks a bunch for coming by.
                                                             Blessings,
                                                                Linda
                                                 Two very proud parents!!!!
                                    My sweet daughters...they bring me so much joy!
                                             They are sooooo very close...when
                                             Mary Claire gave her speech at the
                                             rehersal dinner, the room was filled
                                             with tears...that girl had me crying
                                          like crazy...it was one awesome speech!!
                                                  



                                I will be posting her bridal pics later this week, so
                                       you can see better pics of her dress...she
                                              she had her dad speechless!!!
                                 Yes...there was a groom...love you Cam!!!

                                     She was smiling like this all day long!!!




                                 My favorite pic of the two of us...can't wait
                                 to see the ones that our photographers made.
                  
                     As you can see...we did a lot of laughing...we all had so much
                                                                 FUN!!!!!!

When our son got married we all went swimming together afterwards, barbecuing and just plain old fun...lots of laughing too. We were so tired! Hahahhaa...I feel for you. But oh the wonderful blessed memories! Yayay!

    *** What a BEAUUUTIFUL FAMILY you are!!! ANNND, it's apparent that the wedding was absolutely wonderful~ perfect in every way, right down (up?) to the glowing bride, with a beaming smile and magnificent in a to-die-for-dress!!! (And count that for YOU and the bridesmaids, too!)...

    Altho I will ADMIT to still being a "romantic", even after 43 years (we married when I was 3!!! Grins!!!), I MUST tell you I think this looks like one of the HAPPIEST weddings ever (!!!)... I was smiling all the way thru all the terrific, fabulous photos!!!!!!

    Here's something else WONDERFUL to think about~~~ even MORE blessings in the future will surely accompany this memorable day for all of you!!!

    CONGRATS to all!

    Most sincerely,

    It provides you with the same effect just like smoking but the
    only difference is that with smoking you would be inhaling all the burnt chemicals which would damage your
    body in some way or other. If you look really hard, you can find the benefits that the Volcano Vaporizer provides you and you can be sure
    that with the help of a Volcano Vaporizer you can get a great effect and you can have a healthy effect to smoking as well.

    Another thing which customers must keep in mind while purchasing the vaporizers is
    that they must enquire the manufacturers about the designs
    and elements used in the vaporizers.
