It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like a Wedding!

No, we're not moving. We're just in the process of planning a wedding! :)

Mom and Aunt Nora hard at work on reception plans.

Organization at its best.

This has been another project over the last two weeks; addressing invitations.
We're almost ready to send them out!

Until next time...

Outdoor Fun at Brazos Bend

The Britton Grillmasters

The beauty of the park.




So happy to be with my sweetheart soaking up the fresh air!



A stump that begs a picture.


Joel and his new fiancé, Katelyn.
Yes, that's two Britton brothers soon to be married!
The family is growing!

Lots of alligators were out enjoying the sunshine.




Such handsomeness...

...absolutely takes my breath away!

A Visit to San Antonio with the Brittons

During our excursion to San Antonio with Nathan's family, we toured five old missions that were a key part of Texas history.

Housing for those who sought refuge within the mission walls.

One of the community ovens.

This was the biggest of the five missions and had the most fascinating architecture!








The Britton Brothers

At the back of the mission was an old, water-powered mill in action demonstrating how the mission's inhabitants would grind their wheat.

A quick pic with my sweetheart at the mill!

Mrs. Britton through the mill's window.

The mill in action.

I love the palm trees at this mission location!


Another Britton boy and his significant other. :)

The courting couples.

Nathan's youngest brothers, Noah and Diondre.

A very cool-looking tree.

At the river walk.

So pretty!

Lovin' being with this man!

The Alamo


The smolder look from the man who captured my heart!


A most delightful day with a most delightful man and his family!
