A perfect day for a WEDDING!!

Today at 3 pm Andrew and Erika were married!!

It was short notice - so if you are reading this and saying, "What? Why didn't they let me know?" Well, we were told last night! Yes, they wanted to move on with their lives for 2009. We met at the Merced County building. Erika looked very pretty with a black and white dress and Andrew looked hansome. The vows were exchanged. After the 'speaker' finished, Dick added, "Under God". It was simple, sweet and to the point - very fitting for Andrew and how he likes to live his life. In the end, they are married, happy and ready to start a new year, with their new baby and their new life as husband and wife.
We took some pictures then went over to Applebee's for dinner. The newlyweds were going to go home, have a few friends over and ring in the new year!

Happiness

We could not be happier with Erika as our newest member of our family. She is a very nice fit and we feel very blessed. Andrew got REALLY lucky with her - and we think she is too! ;)


BLOG UPDATE: I forgot my power cord at the hotel in Pismo - reason for no blog updates. I will post Christmas stuff in the next few days....right now, just wanted to place the MOST EXCITING news right away.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

We are so happy for the two of them! Please extend our congratulations. I tried to call but I'm not sure I have the right phone number for Andrew. Perhaps you could email it to me?
Or have him give me a call when he has some available time? Either way.thanks for your help! debbie
