As per my usual, I like to take things through pictures. Daniel is my younger brother by three years and he and his now-bride Kayla were one of the many tying the knot on 6/7/08.
Yelson (my nickname for him) on the way to but a tux shirt after two the rental place gave him didn't fit.
Kayla at the church before the rehearsal.
Yelson waiting at the end of the aisle during rehearsal wearing his old choir vest and tie. Very sparkly, eh?
Kayla and her mom practicing that ever-important walk down the aisle
More reheasal...nothing riveting.
That's Kayla's sister Nikki to the left in the wheelchair (matron of homor). She was in a car accident a few weeks ago where her pelvis was broken in a few places and her right arm was shattered.
Wedding day: the groom posing all alone in the empty reception area.
James and I being silly before the wedding. You might say we're "posers".
Ach...I guess a real pose was needed.
Ah yes, a pic with the bride
Looking back I realize I didn't get any with my brother though
Yelson sees Kayla coming down the aisle.
Looks like that practice the night before paid off!!
"I do"s all around. I was bawling...Kayla was bawling...I'm pretty sure there wasn't a dry eye in the place.
My family is a Harley family. That's about all there is to it.
At the reception...my camera is annoying. It makes everyone think the picture has been taken and then it really takes it. So, Kayla is looking away from the camera
Happy Wedding - Daniel and Kayla! It's great to have another Dobbs out there

Last week I was in Indianapolis for work. Heidi and I shared a hotel room and just about every night Derek would send the desserts not used that day in class up to our room. Sheesh...as if my thighs needed anymore help!!
Yes, that's an entire carmel pecan cheesecake in my hands, two plates of brownies on the table, AND and apple pie on the table as well. Thanks Marriott and Derek. I'm sure that yoga class this week will really make up for it.
By the way, I'm going to a yoga class for the first time in my life on Thursday and I'm gonna let you know I'm a bit scared. First off, I'm not sure how "real" the yoga is and if the instructor is going to encourage us to meditate and hope we come back in our next life as something much more worthwhile or if it's more of the "workout" type yoga. It's called Moksha Yoga and apparently they heat the room to 100 degrees F while you're doing your workout on the heated floor. When I was living in Sudan I tried to do yoga and/or pilates from a DVD but I was already sweating so much I just couldn't bring myself to do it anymore.
Food for thought: If xanga doesn't exist at some point in the future do you think they'll let us know so we can get our writing first or will it just magically be gone???
Love (and wedding #6 this weekend),
Steph

All those desserts! That is what heaven is like, surely!
I hope xanga doesn't go down. I have so many memories!!!
Um, why didn't your brother wear his sparkly vest in the wedding? Nothing says party like a sparkly vest!
I like mimosas. But I only drink them like once or twice a year and it's no aversion to alcohol. Like you, I just don't like the taste much. I like a mimosa because the orange fizzy taste is stronger than the alcohol. Somehow it seems appropriate to drink champagne when I celebrate or something I don't know. Actually, champagne in general I like because of the fizz factor. Really, it's all about the fizz for me. This is bad because I'm sure fizz rots my bones. I know it can't be healthy. It is too wonderful.
I am moving in July (woo!) but I will keep you posted on when I have new digs. I want you to come hang out!! I can't wait to show you the noog. Let's chat soon. Also, let me know what you think of Velvet Elvis.
if xanga goes down, it'll just disappear some day. if you want all you journal entries, it's probably a good idea to start periodically printing them or saving them to a disc. have fun dieing in yoga!
Rob Bell? So what do you think?
I cannot believe all those desserts!!!!!!!!!!!!! YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
