Okay, okay! I know I've been terrible about blogging. I can't remember the last time I made a "real" blog post. It's just that there is SO much that I haven't blogged about that I feel like I need to catch up on, and every time I think about blogging I get really overwhelmed and decide not to do it at all. At this rate I will never blog again. So I've decided to start fresh, with one exception, and not worry about catching up on last years news.
The one thing from last year that I am going to blog about is pretty special to me. Normally, I would have to recall every detail of an event. This time I'm going to go against my nature and try to be as concise as possible...We'll see how that works out!
Back on December 18, David and I flew to Maryland for his best friend, Johnathan's wedding. Also, as a favor/wedding gift to Johnathan and Katie, David and I drove Katie's car back to Alabama so that they could go on their honeymoon. I'm not going to lie, it was an exhausting trip, but I'm so glad that we were able to do it.
David and Johnathan have been friends since age 5. I truly believe that David would do anything for Johnathan! When we were dating, Johnathan was convinced that I didn't like him, but honestly I was just jealous of all the time that David spent with him. Johnathan is one of the most Godly people I know, and I have always been thankful that David had such a Godly best friend. Johnathan has always been there for us when we needed him, in so many ways. I whole heartedly believe that Johnathan will always be a part of our life. Because of that, I've been a little concerned about who Johnathan would end up with, because she would always be part of our life too!
I will never forget when I first found out about Katie... It was November 2008, and Johnathan came to Birmingham to help us move (not the first time...probably not the last). The whole time he was here, he kept texting this girl he had met. She was the sister of one of his friends from Auburn, and they met when she came to visit her brother. Apparently, they had really hit it off, and were continuing to keep in touch. I was in amazement when he said that she was the girl he wanted to marry. I knew I HAD to meet this girl. It wasn't until June 2009 that we finally were able to meet her and get to know her ourselves. Since then, we've had the opportunity to get to know her even better, especially on our cross-country trip that we all made together in December 2009. She is so, incredibly sweet, and She and Johnathan have so much in common. Most importantly, she is the Godly woman I always knew Johnathan deserved. I am so thankful that they found one another and are spending their life together, and I'm so grateful that David and I were able to share their special day with them!

Congratulations Johnathan and Katie!
I cannot wait to see what God has in store for the Lees and the Lanes! :)
