Spiritually Healthy

Thank you,  Heidi  for tagging me in this super fun post! It was hard for me to just pick 10 of my favorites but I did and here are my 10.

Anne Shirley - Anne of Green Gables (1985) I chose Anne because she is a classic and I've always loved her. 2. Sarah Wheaton - Sarah Plain and Tall (1991) Sarah was so very gentle and feminine in all she said and did.  She was super smart and open for change.

The post is here...but it may have to go into a third because there are SO many lovely pictures I want to share...so ye must have patience. :)  Click  here  to read my first post on "What God hath joined..." Okay. So. For the post... We awoke to a lovely sunrise with smiles on our faces.  Our happiness grew deeper with each exciting thought of the day to come. We got all dressed up and ready to go by 11:00 am for family pictures.  When we arrived we were able to see some of the groomsmen and the groom having their pictures taken. :)  Such fun! Four of my awesome brothers...plus a very good friend of theirs. Joseph (the groom) has his hands in his pockets.  On the left is Josiah and Andrew is in the shades (I love when he wears these!), and Timothy is on the far right. Standing around and waiting direction... "Stand here...and there...how about everywhere?" I just loved the little flag banners - they were so cute!  Before our picture
