Lexie's Link: February 2007

Dallas and Laura's Wedding Gift: Feb. 10th, 2007.

Just a quick update from the wedding: I had collected money from 25 people at the wedding to put towards a large gift certificate for Best Buy. During a visit in November Dallas had made it clear he had been saving up for a plasma for quite some time. I pulled Laura aside that weekend and asked her if it would be ok if I tried to put something together for them and she liked the idea. Fast forward two weeks and the last check came in the mail on Thursday the 8th. Dana and I took Lexie up to Harrisburg for the night and we gave them the present. Dana took this shot just as the dollar amount was revealed...keep in mind Laura knew what was coming.

Dinner with Mommom and Butch - Saturday, Feb. 3rd, 2007.

Butch turned 91 years old on Friday the 2nd so Lexie and I made it a point to head up to the Northeast to take him and Mommom out to dinner. Dana and Chance were on the way back up from NC at the time.

Nice face out of my daughter

Dallas and Laura's Wedding. January 26th - 28th, 2007.

I've known Dallas since 1996 when he was a Freshman at Stetson and I was a Sophomore. He joined ATO and was my first little brother. He is from Harrisburg, PA and we would tandem up and down for the start and end of each semester at Stetson as well as for Christmas breaks. He and Laura had been dating for a long time and tied the knot in her hometown of Deland, which is also home to Stetson University. It was good to get back down there and see all the guys.

This is from the walk-through at the Church prior to the rehearsal dinner

This is a shot with Jason, the best man. I got to meet Jason during a visit to Harrisburg in November and saw him again at the bachelor party in NYC.
