Angie's Wedding!

Here are some of my favorite pictures of Angie and Jason's wedding day. It was a perfect day -completely blessed by the Lord. Matt and I were so glad to be there!

Arriving in Dubuque

On our way to Dubuque, we stopped in Grand Rapids, Michigan for two days so Matt could do his most favorite activity (after studying of course!). We spent a day and a half going from used bookstore to used bookstore looking for good deals on Christian books. Matt found some incredible deals -I'll post a picture and give you the total number later on!


When we arrived in Dubuque, we started to celebrate with Angie and Jason and get ready for their upcoming wedding.

All of the bridesmaids headed out for a nice dinner in nearby Galena before Angie's personal shower that night. (I stole a few of these from Angie's blog...check it out on my links!)

On Thursday after a day of preparing flowers and food, we headed out to get our toes and fingernails done -courtesy of Joy Stratman. A great time to relax.

Mmmmmmmmmmm...paraffin wax!


Friday was busy with decorating and then the rehearsal dinner out at the Glock's.

The bride and groom!

My sweet nephews were very patient waiting to play with Auntie Steph and Uncle Matt. I would ask Andrew when I was heading out the door when we would get to play and stay together the whole day, he would say "When Angie's wedding is over!!!" :0)

Our Trip!

Matt and I are home at last! We have been away for the last 3 weeks on a wonderful vacation seeing family and friends and enjoying time away together!

The first night that we left Miramichi, we met up with my family in St. John and enjoyed going to see the Gaither concert! It was amazing -incredible talent!

One of our favorite bands is "Ernie Haase and Signature Sound". We got to get a picture with them after the concert!

After dropping Grammie Esson off in Fredericton the next morning, Matt and I headed to Ottawa to stay with one of his good friends, Matt Steeves. We had a great time visiting with him and his fiance, Katie.

On Saturday night they took us down to the stadium where the Ottawa Senators were playing game 3 in the Stanley Cup playoffs. We got to sit outside the stadium and watch the game on a big screen with a couple other thousand people. It was so much fun!!!


Touring around downtown Ottawa the next day

On Sunday night we headed to Toronto to stay with another good friend of Matt's, Andrew Ross. We had a great visit with him and his fiance, Melanie. We are looking forward to seeing them in September at their wedding!
