Honeymooning - Part 2 ❤️

 The 2nd part of our honeymoon was Yosemite National Park - my new favorite place!

We rode bikes on the most beautiful trails...

Hiked up HUNDREDS of stairs for the most breathtaking, rainbow-filled waterfall view...

We hiked, waded and swam in crystal-clear streams, surrounded by beauty...

 

AND... we got "officially" married on the bridge across from the Yosemite Chapel (where Don's dad had gotten married...)

We spent our "wedding night" at the historic Awanahee Hotel, and had the most COVID friendly, and tasty prime rib dinner under the stars!

I can't wait to go back!

Unexpected Beauty - The Wedding at Hume Lake

 As promised... I want to update you on our great story of Unexpected Beauty.

We got married (after a whirlwind official engagement of only 2 weeks!) at Hume Lake Christian Camp in Hume Lake, CA.

Due to COVID - it was a very small, very informal ceremony.  My kids, my brother (who walked me down the aisle) and the Fergason (who re-routed their family vacation and officiated our ceremony) and Lewis families (who blessed us with music, pictures, and much more!) ❤️

It was perfect in every way!  Stunning scenic overlook of a perfect setting with some of our dearest people, who could ask for more?

But, of course God is so abundant!  We had lovely dresses (I love my dress so much)

Beautiful flowers (arranged by my daughters from a Costco bouquet)

Delightful music provided by my own personal artists...including violin, guitar and singers

Delicious charcuterie boards and bundt cakes in a perfect, private picnic area complete with twinkle lights and country dancing!

When God delivers beauty from ashes... he puts it on display for His Glory!
