A wonderful Homecoming

Josh and I made a trip back to Arkansas this past weekend. It was our first trip since Christmas. The trips seem to be getting farther and farther apart, but I suppose school is to thank for that. We were headed back for a few reasons, the main one being the wedding of Josh's good friend Joe Emmanuel to a sweet gal named Beth. It was a very nice outdoor ceremony at St. Catherine's Bell Gable. Luckily the rain stopped just in time for the ceremony but picked back up when the reception began. Joe is a huge Dallas Mavs fan and was able to get the announcer of the basketball starting line ups to record an announcement to introduce "the starting line up for the Emmanuel Wedding Partyyyyyyy" as if we were at a game. It was very neat... I know Josh was thinking we should have done something like that!!

I tried to sneak a pic of us. oh... I got straight bangs...

the beautiful church. It's the same place Amanda had her bridals made.

dancing in the lobby, waiting for the rain to die down so we can head to Dickson. The reception was at UARK bowl so we were in a prime spot for Dickson fun. Too bad the rain didn't stop. I had to use Josh's suit coat to cover up with, and trekked through inches deep puddles in my inches high heels. :) smiling all the way

no, he didn't catch the bouquet! but he did find the flowers sitting on a bench on our walk back to the car (check out Josh's rain-spotted shirt). We scooped em right up, and I put them in water and they smelled delicous all the next day!!

The night before the wedding I spent some time with my girlfriends down in Fayetteville. It's so nice to be back with them... I miss them so much down here in Louisiana. Of course, I have a good set of friends down here, but its just a whole different kind of fun when I get back with my ZTA sistas :) If anyone has pictures from that night, PLEASE email me!! I didn't take ANY with my camera cause I thought I'd just snag yours. Please share!!

I got to see Matt while I was out.

Also, Good news in the Harmon House!!! Julie and Adam are having a GIRL!!! They have decided on the name Mollie Anne. I think that is such a cute name and I can't wait to meet her. Everyone please cross your fingers that I will be able to come back to AR when Mollie is born. I'm really worried that I'll be stuck on Equine and won't be able to get away. It was only 2 years ago that Julie and Adam got married!! Now they are going to have a little Harmon! I can't believe it. Since they just celebrated their anniversary I think I will do a Harmon Harmony post soon.... I'm such a wedding nerd!!
