Our Family Celebration
The weather started coming down.... I mean it was pouring outside... It was beautiful
Erik came inside like Honey it is coming down pretty bad... I said No worries babe... It will clear up
This was at 2:30P.M. So I was just carrying on the preparation for the food... I did it... I made all the Yummmy food it was Fanatastic and everyone enjoyed... Not one single bit was left over... Yes that means Clear fridge than I could go grocery shopping afterwards and have some place to put it...
Sure enough it started to clear up around 3: ish it was so Beautiful outside.... So green and fresh... the wood on the fence was bright and shining it was again just perfect... My dad and Erik whipped off the seats the guest started to arrive... We didn't ordered enough chairs come on 25 plus our patio sets... Some people were standing but it didn't seemed like they minded...
It was around 3:30ish I was finishing up my guest were like Emillee you need to go get ready I got this... So I looked at the time and was like I believe your right...
Got the girls dressed prior and did there hair and they looked like such beautiful angels... They choice to go barefoot which I loved...
Well so I went downstairs pulled my hair up and did a touch of makeup and put my boots on and was ready to go...We had setup the music for me and the girls to walk down the aisle to Jeff Beck A day in a Life... Beautiful beatle piece just played by guitars... To re New our vows was very touching and something I will never forget as well as the girls and the people that were there... The girls were excited for the occassion to happen they would ask me pretty much everyday mommy is it today... I even got Audree to respond for me No not today it is in...... The celebration was not just for us to Re New our Vows but for the adoption of Audree Kamille & Lillee May to Erik as their father forever.... Legalized.... Yes John had given up his full parental rights which If I was in his situation would have had to be a real hard decision to do so... But he did what was right for Audree...and our Family... So we was celebrating the Whole that will take place in court under the laws of the land. When we did the sand ceremony the first time their was someone missing and well that just happened to be our sweet Ivee MaryBeth she was still gazing down on that celebration and wasnt apart of it... So we had to confirmed the sands with everyone as a symbolic way of combiding a forever family together once the sands our united they can never be divided again... The Girls LoVed that part... When each of the girls went to pour their sand... Their dad had got them each indivuial necklaces with their intials on it with cute little diamonds NOT REAL... and Ivee got a Butterfly to represent Motheria something she loves... I got a circle necklace with a tree and bird on it with some charms to represent our family tree... Our Whole... Our Unit... As One... They poured their sand in the big jar and declared forever sisters that day and family... Than Me and Erik Kissed and sealed the deal and put the lid on the jar...
It was a Beautiful night of celebration we had a donation jar set out and was able to get some money to go towards the adoption jar... The night before we sold the camping trailer and was able to get the majority of the adoption money... IT was truely Blessings sent from above....
This was the beautiful ceremony that I had wrote.... We asked my Dad to do the dictating of the ceremony he was honored but at the same time a little timid ... My Dad... No Way... It was a priviledge to have him be able to seal a blessing upon us and give us a personal ceremony...
Erik & EmilleeWhen you first joined hands and hearts in marriage 5 years ago, you did not know where life would take you.
You promised to love, honor and cherish one another through all things. Life has surely brought you both wonderful blessings and difficult challenges over the years. But you have remained strong for one another and have raised a beautiful family together and continue to grow strong.
Here you are today, having fulfilled the vows to love, honor and cherish each other and raise a family as you have declared on your wedding day.
You celebrate here today as Husband and Wife Mother and Father you reflect back over the years. You now would like to celebrate this occasion along with the adoption of your beautiful girls to become a whole under the laws of the land Till the End of Time.

The trees were trickling little water off of them during it...It was Beautiful and one that I will never forget...
I had made all the Decor and hair pieces and boquets.... My Mom made Ivee's and Lillee's and I had made Brooke and Audree's... My Mom helped me Decorate the boxes... Noelle made my Boquet... It was beautiful and perfect... Not to much Money put into it... We rented the chairs didn't use tables and did our own family photography and I made the food... It was Truely something that was meant to happen with how everything came together... If I needed something from the store it just happened to be on sale or even better 50% off.... I remember I had No Idea what I was going to use for the tables to put the odurves on... and than I just happened to walk by clearance and found a set of WOOD Platters... I was shocked $5.00 bucks each and perfect for what I needed... Plus I really wanted something I could use over... Than I went into Michales about 3 mnths prior too.... and got the ribbon for $1.50 on sale for 4 yrds.... WOOT WOOOT SCORE... than bought all the flowers at the Dollar store and made them look Speldid....
The weather was beautiful the rest of the night... We visited I saw people I havent seen in years... It was wonderful to see everyone love and MOST OF ALL FEEL THE LOVE there... The energy that was surrounding us was very undescribable.... Those who came felt it and those who couldn't attend said they can feel it when they look through our pictures... Just the smiles on all faces... Priceless...
Well I put together a slideshow on Smilebox for you just some pictures of the event... Enjoy...
If you need any decoration or any future events coming up you need some dezigning help for... Let me know or pass my name and number along....
Good Journey to you All
