Cupid

Billy likes to take credit for my sister and her fiance as of last Friday night getting together. But I think that I'm the real matchmaker here. I'll explain that in a second...but here is a picture of the happy couple:

Usually in the summer, my youth pastor husband takes our crazy students to Tennessee for youth camp. This past summer I was very pregnant and thinking it would be any day when Tirzah Shae made her arrival. I didn't particularly want my husband a good 8 hour trip away from me and a frantic trip to L&D. Therefore...I put my hormonal, swollen foot down and told him to find a camp within 2 hours from where we live, since I couldn't go to camp I at least wanted him nearby. He didn't really even want to go to camp and leave me home alone, grumpy and huge as I was, because he was afraid he would miss our little girl's arrival. *She did wait for him to get home, but had he been 8 hours away he definitely would have missed it...labor only lasted about 5 hours. :)*

Anyway...the point of all this rambling is just to say that I take credit for these two getting together. ;) He says its because he picked the camp...I say it's because I was about to have a baby and told him to pick a different camp. I guess this is one argument that we'll never resolve...but at least it's for a good cause.

Here is a picture of my future bro-in-law, down on one knee, asking my little sister to marry him. This was at a coffee shop where he had just played a set of songs he wrote himself. I cannot believe my little sister is getting married, but am totally thrilled for both of them. :)

And of course, she said yes. Like we ever considered she would say no. Not kidding, she has already ordered her dress, and my matron of honor dress is hanging in my closet behind me as I write this. We weren't expecting these two to get married or anything. ;) They are so great together...they are just so darn cute you can hardly keep from smiling at how happy they are. They are one of those happy couples that some people can't stand to be around because they are so in love. Just how it should be in my opinion. :)

I think, even while 9 months pregnant and miserable, I did a pretty good job as cupid. Right Billy? ;)
