This is Julie. She and I just became sisters a few months ago. She is married to J.P. who is Wayne's brother. We got married only about a month apart. I first met Julie at the Stender family Thanksgiving in Waconia, MN at one of the extended families home. Wayne and I were barely dating then and Julie and J.P. had been together through high school. Right from the beginning, Jules and I have been friends. She's always ready to talk and listen and be a shoulder to cry on. Within the few months before she and J.P. and Wayne and I were married, we spent many hours planning and preparing and talking and gabbing about our big days and all that comes along with weddings. It was so much fun and she definately kept me on track with when I needed to have this or that done. I have learned a lot from Julie in the time that I've known her and I look forward to holidays spent together and many more memories made as we get to know eachother better. I love ya Jules.

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
Goddy and Matt, Em, Wayne and me... we would go for coffee seriously everyday. I think we could've almost lived in the Starbucks because we were there everyday. Ahh!


Matt, Michelle(Niki's sister), Goddy, Wayne, me, Niki and Em outside of the Pancake Pantry. It's this famous pancake house in Nashville where lots of people go for some sweet pancakes. We had to wait in line and the line went all the way outside. Crazy.

This is Emily and her best friend Niki. Niki has a sister that lives in Nashville and when she heard that Em was going to be there, she got on a plane and came to visit both of them. She has a sweet New York accent. It was so fun to meet her and to see her and Em together. Made me miss my Erin.

Goddy, Matt, Wayne, me and Emily in front of the Gaylord Entertainment Center. This is where we had all our general sessions with great speakers and some sweet praise and worship with The David Crowder band and Chris Tomlin

Florida days
Wayne and I on the beach...it was so beautiful everday we were there!

Goddy (Chris Godshalk), me and Wayne

Here's Em and I on the balcony of the condo in Boca Raton, FL

The time in Florida was so wonderful! I probably could've stayed there for a few more days soaking up the sun. We were in Florida over Thanksgiving and we ended up taking Emily to the airport in Miami so she could fly to North Carolina to watch Messiah College girls and boys soccer teams play in the final four and WIN! It's the first time in history that both teams have won the championship. Messiah is where she went to college and played soccer! After we dropped her off at the airport, we drove back to Boca Raton and had McDonalds for our sweet Thanksgiving dinner. Yipee.
