memorial 2010

just now getting around to posting these pictures from memorial. it was a wonderful evening of appreciation and gratitude for the incredible sacrifice jesus provided for us.

the flower arrangement was the most beautiful i had ever seen. the colors were amazing.

just a shot of the bread...

and the wine.

chris and i~~we usually try to match. but it didn't happen this year.
he gave the talk and he did a great job--i was so proud of him!

patricia and her family...

here's one of all of us. mckinlee was not in the mood for family pictures--but sure took a lot of her and her friends!

several of the girls got some of the flowers afterwards. she was so excited!

the goodharts...

and the learys

look at sweet bianca with her flower--she was cracking us up!

mckinlee got one of me and julie with her camera.

claire, mk, chloe and amber. aren't they cute?
look at mck's pink gloss. i said didn't she think that was a little bright--to which she replied, no. and that was the end of that conversation!

we went to cheddar's afterwards with the goodharts and ungers and had a nice time. there were so many friends there from other congregations--i bet there were 75 of us there!

mckinlee and alexa with more flowers
(i was trying to keep the neon beer sign out the picture--didn't quite happen!)

sadly, as you can tell, i didn't take many pictures. i was really trying to get around and meet a lot of new people, so not many pictures.
but it was a wonderful night that we will remember forever.
