Three Degrees

Our wedding day had it ALL... except for snow, thank goodness.

It poured down rain for a couple of hours prior to our outdoor ceremony.

See that car in the background?
That is where I sat for well over an hour.

This look on my face is from the feeling of dirty water and mud on my dress.

I couldn't believe it.

This look on my face is after a quiet little pep talk from my boys...

Something along the lines of, "Put on your big girl panties and come on!"

And, there was Kaydon's arm... waiting for his mama.

This look on my face is the moment I saw my husband, waiting for his bride.

My favorite Candece said to me later that day:
Isn't that such a metaphor for your life, Heidi? 

The storms just kept coming.

When the rain stopped, the wind picked up and the temperatures plummeted.

Then... after all of that, the sun came out.

My Miss Birdie said to me:

I didn't know if I'd ever be able to see you have your happily ever after.

I couldn't miss this!

It was a perfectly crazy day and we'd do it all the same if we had to do it over.

When Jackson saw me for the first time, he said, "Ma - you are just beautiful."

Kaydon said, "Ma! You are a hottie! Mike, I hope you know you married a babe!"

Braxton is my put-her-together kid. He was the one in the public restroom helping me get dressed, getting me in and out of the car, keeping me warm, and calm.

Colton just kept asking if he could wear his suspenders to school! Absolutely, Boogie!

Evan thought the day was the best, except the wind and cold. I couldn't argue with him.

Ethan thought the place was the coolest ever! It had a river and a lake and a snake and fishing!

The three degrees of Heidi in about 15 seconds flat.

All worth it!
