The Three Babies Got Married

Last October, I took Ken to see my mom's side of the family in Abilene, Texas. While we were there, we got to meet two new people. Matt and Eve (sadly to say, we were supposed to meet Eve, but she ended up not being able to make it). Matt was dating my cousin, Traci....and Eve was dating my other cousin, Tyler. All three of us couples started dating within months of each other....and all three of us cousins are the babies of our families. I am the baby of the Farquhar's; Tyler is the baby of the Lawrence's; and Traci the baby of the Hogan's (Ken and Tricia). I should mention there are two more babies....Joey and Hill. Joey is the baby of the Hogan's (George and Penny) and he is 13 or 14 years old. Hill is the baby of the Hardin's and he is 8 years old. So, needless to say, they probably won't get married for awhile.

So, anyway, Matt and Traci, Tyler, and Ken and I all sat around my aunt and uncle's kitchen table telling our stories about how we met. It was fun to hear how we all met and just simply fellowship with family. I think all of us kind of KNEW we were close to being on the marriage track. :) Tyler and Eve were first....They got engaged last November or December. Traci and Matt were next....and I want to say they got engaged in December. (Sorry if my dates are off). And then Ken and I got engaged in April.

Wedding dates were next: Traci and Matt set theirs for July 18, 2009 in Abilene, TX. Tyler and Eve set theirs for July 31, 2009 in Colorado Springs, CO. Ken and I set ours for October 3, 2009 in Tulsa, OK. And now, all thre have come and gone.

This was such a fun milestone for all of us. Its so neat to see God move and watch HOW He brings about His plan. And, my favorite part is to watch WHO He brings to each of us....and how they fit each of us so perfectly....and how we fit them so perfectly! I love my cousins and am sad we don't get to see each other on a regular basis....but I am so thankful that we worship and love and trust the same God! And love that He is working and moving in all of our lives. AND, its fun that we can all look back and see that ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN A YEAR!
