"I'm getting married!"

How can it be that about 20 years ago this little red headed girl came flying down the stairs after carefully "dressing up" to announce "I am getting married tonight!" Just a few days ago this mom heard those very same words. "Mom , I am getting married." Dad did a good job keeping it a secret so Lindsay could tell mom!

Congratulations Lindsay and Sam. We are so excited for the two of you! How wonderful for both of you to know that you had 4 parents praying since you were little for the Lord to provide just the right mate for you. We are so excited to see how He uses the two of you to further his Kingdom!

We have already promised Sam that in January when his bride walks down the aisle that her socks will match and her shoes will be on the right feet.

The last picture was taken just last night when Lindsay and Sam shared with her grandparents (who have been married 65 years) their new news. Sam made a big hit with Grandma when she learned they share a german heritage.

We love you guys! Enjoy the journey.

It isn't a big surprise.....but fun to know! :)
January isn't that far away....I'm guessing Lindsey and Sam know the exact amount of days already. :)

Congratulations to your family! Lindsay is such a beauty - all grown up! She was a cute little thing when I was at HLA ('95-'97). It would be fun to see the ring!
