Nina and Great Grandma Prarl


This is the kind of photo I can’t resist sharing! We were so delighted to have Grandma Pearl join us for Rachel’s wedding last weekend. Her presence was so appreciated! She has never been a strong, demonstrative personality but has a peaceful countenance that blesses all she knows. Love you Grandma!

Beaming Rachel



Today another chapter was written in our family’s books. And a charming chapter at that! My favorite part of the wedding was probably when Rachel was reciting her vows and she ended her prayer, “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the HOLY SPIRIT!!” That girl does appreciate the third component of the Trinity quite a bit.


I think anybody who attended would be struck by the simplicity, authenticity, and overall happiness of the event. It was a jubilant celebration, and yet not over the top. It was a modest proclamation by these two remarkable individuals of their relationship with each other and especially, with God. Well done!!
