Amy's wedding

On Sunday my good friend, Amy got married in Tampa. We went to nursing school together at Union. It was a lot of fun to catch up with old friends as people came in from all over to be in the wedding. The wedding was outside and the weather was beautiful...it was at least 80 degrees! It was one of the most beautiful God-centered weddings I've ever been ,and Amy was such a gorgeous bride.

Here I am with Lindsey. We are reenacting our 'fight for the bouquet'. There were four of us single gals. Lindsey scratched me with her fingernail and I started bleeding. She won in the end...well I let her have it :)

Here I am with Bethany a fellow Unionite and former journeyman friend to Tanzania. She will be getting married on December 30th!

Some of the bridesmaids: me, Annie (friend from Union), Emily (friend from Union), Lindsey (Amy's friend from FL).

The happy couple....Amy and Adam. Adam is studying graphic design in Orlando. He is such a great guy who loves the Lord...I am so happy for Amy!

A trip to the salon...

The day before the wedding Amy treated all of us bridesmaids (8 total) to pedicures. It was amazing...we got to sit in big massage chairs and soak our feet in hot water. We had fun relaxing and of course talking :)

Union Dearest Union

This past weekend I went back to Union Univeristy www.uu.edu to speak about my time in Uganda for World AIDS Day (Dec 1st). A lot has changed in the last 2 years. The building on the right is the new science hall and nursing will have the entire 2nd floor. We used to only have a couple nursing classrooms and labs. Union is such a great school....I am proud of my alma mater.
I got to visit with several old friends while in Jackson. Cayce and I became friends our Junior year at Union. She is a special education teacher now. It was fun catching up and hanging out.
