wedding bells

so i've had the bright idea to start blogging and i'm not really sure why yet. but i'm going to give it a try! i guess i just want to share with whomever might be interested about all of the things going on in katie's world. the first order of business is my sister's wedding, which is quickly approaching in 14 days! holy moly! it's crazy how when you put so much time, planning, excitement, and anticipation in something how fast the date comes. we're two weeks away and are very excited. for those who don't know, emily is my twin sister. she is my best friend. the person i talk to about everything, the one who knows me inside and out; my strengths and weaknesses...and she still loves me! :) i've always felt extra special to be a twin. and even more special that my twin is emily. she is beautiful, smart, intelligent, fun, sweet, loving, and the list can literally go on and on. these are all the reasons why not only am i crazy happy and excited for her, but i am really going to miss living with her, and have quickly come to the realization that change is definitely not easy! it will take some time to get use to her not being in the bedroom next door, or just a holler down the hallway...but i am thankful to God for 22 years of of that, and i am also thankful to God that he has brought someone like drew for her to live with, since it won't be me anymore. :) drew has been an awesome friend to the both of us since we moved to arkansas 12 years ago! it was basically love for the two of them from that time on. drew has everything i could want in not only my sister's husband, but in a brother-in-law too. i have no doubt that he will take care of her and love her forever! so, putting the sappy stuff aside now!!!! the wedding is july 18th at first baptist in lavaca at 2:00 pm. everyone's invited, and we would love for you to come share the day with us! :) so i guess this now wraps up my very first blog post. stay posted, i'll be back! 

p.s. happy 4th of july!!!!! hope you've had a fun and safe holiday!
