Sacramental Weekend




No, I didn't write "Sacramento" weekend...never been to California aside from a layover in LA once. But I hope to visit that fine state some day.
This weekend was a joyous one, filled with the celebrations of a dear friend's wedding and another beloved's baptism and birthday party.
Friday night we enjoyed a lovely rehearsal and luau-themed meal at church. Following the festivities, I (Whitney) joined Jon and Eli for the basketball coach/family end-of-season party. I hear that Eli was quite the "groom" for the girls, so I'm excited to see those pics.
Saturday was devoted to fulfilling my duties as the bride's "personal attendant", which was rewarding but exhausting! Laura looked so radiant and had a beautiful wedding. I'm so delighted that the former "Miss Cross" (me) was able to be a part of the new "Mrs. Cross" (Laura). I'm convinced we're related, we just need to find it officially in our family trees.
On Sunday we were blessed to be a part of our friends' the Brookfields celebration of their daughter Kylie's baptism. Jon was honored to serve as Kylie's Godfather. The beautiful ceremony was in the family's UM church, which is the same denomination to which Whitney still technically belongs. After the service, we joined others at Kylie's house to enjoy brunch in honor of her baptism and first birthday!
Now we are exhausted after an eventful weekend (which also included Jon's attending the Rockies 2nd home game) but grateful for this beautiful life with such amazing friends!
