Mom, Claire, and I hit up a bridal store here in Wichita this afternoon. Just to look and touch and ooh and ahh. I didn't try anything on, but fell even more in love with a dress I've been oogling over online since before Chris proposed. Yes, I am that girl who had her dress picked out before being engaged. So, I made the executive decision that mom must spend her MLK holiday weekend driving to St. Louis so I can try on, and hopefully buy, THE dress. Of course, I'll try on a variety, just to be sure. Though really, I'm convinced I've found my dress. Fingers crossed it actually looks good on me!
Okay, to the point of my title...

| How pretty is my mom?! |
Look at how happy my parents are :) I can honestly say that they've been like this for as long as I've been around, and I bet its safe to say they were like this the 4 years before I joined this world too. I am so unbelievable lucky to have had two great role models of what love, family, and a marriage should be and can be. I think it's easy to forget how blessed we are to have the people in our lives to guide us and support us and teach us how to love.
I think my parents' priest summed it up best in today's homily: "We pick our friends because they are like us. God gives us our family to learn to love people who are different."
