wonderful, yet woesome, weekend

big cheer for great weather? heck yes...

it was a very up and down weekend for me - but at least there was good weather.

this weekend marked the first and last of a few things....

last?

last double wedding weekend of the year

first?

this the was first benchmark.

milestone.

moment that I was really looking forward to when I was still pregnant.

I would have been 15 weeks today.

I was excited for the point that I would have maybe started to show.

It was suppose to be extra exciting because Amy K came to town for a friend from high school's wedding and I was SOOOO looking forward to showing her the little bump.

It was suppose to be the weekend that at weddings people may have actually noticed and could tell that there was a little baby B growing in there.

But. It wasn't.

Thankfully it was some other kinds of wonderful. We had two amazing weddings this weekend. They were both wonderfully unique and intimate - and both of them had Andrea and Jared at them : ) Thanks Andrea for more great referrals : )

Friday the ceremony had around 30 attendees in the beautiful chapel at the College of St Kate's. This was followed by a intimate dinner at Buca then on to dancing and lots of food at the Bayview Event Center in Excelsior.

Saturday we started at 9am with a set of identical triplets : ) Jessie, the bride - was in Andrea {of Andrea and Jared's} wedding and now we had the joy of photographing Jessie and Jerry's wedding : ) I have always been fascinated by multiples and Jessie has been so sweet answering my curiosities over the past 3 or so years of getting to know her : ) And let me tell you - these girls are amazing - as is their family. They also had a smaller, more intimate wedding with about 60 people followed by mimosas, brunch, golfing, pictures and a very high class casino night with stunning high and low top tables with black jack, poker, etc.


It was also hard this weekend because there were {what appeared to be} more than average number of pregnant women in attendance. I have a feeling I may notice these things more now than ever - it's like when you get engaged - you notice other women's rings more than ever.

Finally - I found out Friday via voice mail between ceremony and reception that I did not get the coaching job.

And still - God is good.
