A West Virginia Wedding

Erik and I spent a beautiful summer weekend in West Virginia as we attended the wedding of our long-time friend Damian and his new wife Kelly.  Damian and Erik have known each other since grade school and I have known him since our college days at U of I.  Erik stood as a groomsman and it was a beautiful sunny day in late August for their outdoor wedding on a rural hillside - really gorgeous!  We are so grateful to Grammy and Grandpa Brown who took care of the kiddos for us while we were away; it was a great getaway for us and a lovely evening of celebration with the new couple!

Two nights before the wedding, we went out with a group of old friends, all in town for the big day.

The happy couple!
