Not As Bad As I Thought
We got our church directory picture in the mail sometime while Gracie and I were in Lynchburg, and it isn't as bad as I remember.
The night we took it, Garren forgot and I had to take his clothes to his office and sprint to the church, Gracie decided to be shy and nearly cried, and I picked out (and ironed) a dress I hadn't worn since Gracie was a newborn and of course it was too tight!
I do remember leaving the church nearly in tears at how awful I looked in those pictures--vowing never to eat again.
But, now that it is here, I am pleased. It is an awesome picture of Garren. Save this one folks--he hates having his picture taken and never smiles. This is our first and ONLY professional family photo. He refuses to get one taken!
I am not sure when we will get the directory. I feel very privileged, this is also the first time we have attended a church as a family (or a married couple) so faithfully.

That is a nice picture. Grandpa and I are very glad you have found a church you enjoy going to. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful picture! How can we get an 8x10? We are glad you all have found a church that is right for you. It's so important to building a strong, forever family. We are so proud of all of you. Parenting is a tough job, but your beautiful family is proof that it sure pays off! We love you all soooo much.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great picture. You all are just the perfect family! You should see our last directory picture from Oak Grove! I will never ever do directory pictures again no matter where we are. Hopefully we won't have to worry about that anymore. I think that it's important to find a church that you both really like. Elliott never liked a big church very much, and I grew to HATE it, but we know why! The devil is the pastor there, sad, huh? We are so lucky to have such a wonderful church family!
