Engagement Pics!!!!

I think I might be overly excited about these pictures!!!
Taylor once again did a great job on our photos. She has a great eye for pictures and then does a great job of touching up (especially on me!!! Thanks for that Taylor!)

We had such a great time getting the pictures made. Paul thought it was especially fun because someone was asking him to be all lovely dovey with his girl. He thought that was a pretty good deal.

One thing I just realized....this is the shirt I was wearing in the picture where Paul first saw me. This very shirt and necklace (hey, I don't have that many clothes!). Isn't that ironic? Full circle. God's hand...oh His sweet hand!

Here are a few of my favorites....



























































Do you see this man God is giving me? Words could never express how precious he is and how he loves me. God is giving him to me. I'm still in awe. Thank you, Lord and may I never take it for granted.

Tears, tears, tears - those are TERRIFIC pictures! I don't think I can express in words the love and joy in those pictures - the ones with the kids are so precious, but the ones of the two of you together are truly breath-taking. My personal faves are the ones where he is looking at you and the artsy one where he is kissing your head. You are so right - he is handsome (not more so than my Sam of course :-) and he is God's gift!
Kuddos to your friend for her talent in capturing such special moments - to be forever cherished. love ya girl! Love to see things restored!

This is what shines out from your faces: "We love, because He first loved us." (I Jn 4:19)

Thank you for sharing your testimony of God's work creating beauty from ashes, giving strength for fear, showering gladness in place of mourning, giving His peace where there could be despair. May the joy of the sovereign Lord, whom you so love and honor, ever be your strength-- and equip you for all that He has in store.

Wow, Tamra those pictures are amazing! What a beautiful family God has brought together! So happy for all of you!

Oh, and by the way, I cried when I read the post about how y'all told the kids. How sweet that Benjamin had been praying for you-what a great heart he has and the faith that he possesses! I am so glad that God heard all of our prayers for you and your sweet kiddos and answered them above and beyond what we could have imagined for you!
