you may now kiss the bride...

yesterday was truely one of the best days of my life. 

i know that i am blessed.  i have been given an amazing gift of being very close to my brother and sister.  the two of them are two of my very best friends.  and while i could share a lot of great things about my beautiful sissa, tonight i must write about brother jon. 

i was fully expecting to be a hot mess yesterday but surprisingly...i wasn't (i only had one mini-moment when jon gave me one of his out of this world hugs).  today, however; well, today's another story.  today, i get to reflect on the amazing man that stood before family and friends boldly declaring his love for his bride, brittany and his savior, jesus christ.  and as i think about what a phenomenal husband he is going to be i am overwhelmed with emotion - in a good way of course :).

i have been given the chance to watch him grow into a man who longs to be all that god has called him to be.  watching that growth has given me some of my highest highs and has also caused my heart to break!  seeing him yesterday was one of the highs!!!  there he stood, totally lost in the gorgeous woman (inside and out) making her way down the isle to him and i thought, "what i have hoped and prayed for is happening, right now!"
