Some Crazy Days in Iraq

As many of you know, my sister, Jeannie is serving our country in Iraq. She's been there since October and hopefully will be home this May! Here are a few pictures she's sent us.
Here is everyone during the Commander's Call.

This is Jeannie will all of her gear on.

This is the group she trained with in Wisconsin before she left.

A sandstorm...

And, a beautiful sunset...

Here's the soccer field where Suddam Hussein murdered his whole Soccer Team for loosing...

Jeannie "won" a trip in a Black Hawk helicopter! I would be a little scared, but she was so excited!




Here she is with some of her new friends...

Feel free to leave Jeannie a message in the comments. She has access to this blog. Everyone over there needs our thoughts and prayers.

Sara & Alex's Beautiful Downtown Wedding!

Sara and Alex got married on January 6th at the Conrad, Downtown Indy (http://indianapolis.conradmeetings.com) It was such a gorgeous Wedding!

We started out the day with Sara getting her hair and make-up done.


Then, we snuck away and got some shots of Alex and his guys...

Their Wedding was on the first day of the playoffs, here in Indy! Downtown was packed with tons of fans, and people looking for tickets...including the groom!

Here are some pics of the beautiful Bride!




And, her girls...


Then, it was time for the Ceremony.




They did it!






We were able to take a few shots at the Arts Garden next door before they headed in to the Reception.

The Reception had amazing details! Thanks to Rebecca of Event Fantastic (http://www.eventfantasticllc.com). Her and her crew were wonderful and kept everything running smooth!






Rebecca, from Event Fantastic, has an unique idea for the guest book. She took a polaroid picture of every guest that signed the guest book and put their picture on the page they signed.



Sara and Alex had Bob from Indy Visual (http://www.indyvisual.com) as their videographer. We really enjoyed working by him all night. He does an amazing job!
They had a beautiful cake, but take notice to the bottom left corner...

The father of the groom accidentally hit the bottom layer of the cake when he was putting on his jacket! He was brave enough to get his picture taken next to the evidence!

A close-up of the damage...

They just cut the cake on the other side.



And, of course, their first dance...



Then, it was time for everyone else to dance! They had an awesome band called Zana-doo (http://www.zannadoo.com). They kept the party going all night!









The last dance of the night...



Congratulations Sara and Alex! We had such a great time at your Wedding!
