Thank You's

I have a long list of thank you's to go through... and I know I'm going to at least miss one person...

Here it goes:

My wonderful Mother: Thank you for putting up with me through my wild, spunky childhood, ridiculous teenage years, and yes... sometimes I am still ridiculous. Anyways, you've shown me support and love through it all... I'm definitely lucky to have such a patient mom! Thank you so SO much for everything you did for the wedding. You were really the hands behind just about everything. Again, thank you.

Daddy: I'll always be your little girl. You're sunshine. Thank you for your wonderful example of how a husband and father should treat his wife and children. It's because of your example that I knew what to look for in my amazing husband. You've helped us in more ways that you'll ever know. Thanks for the wedding and reception... It wouldn't have happened without you.

Warren: Thank you for raising such an amazing man and teaching him by example how to really love and adore his wife. Thank you for coming to NC for our wedding. Thank you for our SUPER comfortable bed, we LOVE it. Thank you for welcoming me into your family.

Margaret: You have raised an amazing man... and I am incredibly grateful to you for that. Your gift with children has definitely been passed down to Ross (whoo hoo!), who is going to be an AMAZING father someday. Thank you for coming to NC and celebrating with us. Thanks for talking to me and giving me so many wonderful words of wisdom. You're a wonderful woman. Thank you for accepting me and loving me.

Grant, Leah, Jackson, Emily, and Gavin: Thank you for SO much... letting RossiePoo live with you (I wouldn't have met him otherwise). Thank you for being so welcoming of me. You're kids are adorable and I have enjoyed getting to know them and we are SO glad to live near you guys. Many childless nights are in your future when you're kids are over here with us!!! :) Thank you also for the mattress... yes I know you were in on it.

Dan, Marci, Morgan, Owen, and baby Ruthie: Thank you SO much for making the long trip out here for our wedding. I am so excited to get to know you all better. A special thank you to Morgan and Marci for the adorable apron! I love it. Dan... thanks for always being such a great older brother to Ross. I know for a fact he appreciates it.

Joe, Sarah, and Rocky: You guys are awesome! We are so grateful to you guys for coming out here twice in the past year and spending so much time with us. Ross and I will continue to whoop you guys at pool... yep, you heard it correctly. I'm going to try to get the hang of Pinochle by the time we see you guys again... you might as well get used to losing. We love you! Thanks for the mattress :)

Ashley: Thanks for letting me stay with you in Utah and helping me find my dress! You were unbelievably helpful :) Thanks for coming out for the wedding and being so understanding about our lack of free time close the wedding. We promise to see you more next time you come to visit. Thanks for the mattress!

Hannah and Wor: Thank you for our lovely, delicious cakes. You guys were SO generous to give them to us as one of our wedding gifts. We also loved the cookie making kit and lingerie :) Hannah, thanks for all of your help with the wedding, planning of the bridal shower, planning of the bachelorette party, and all of  your many supportive words and actions. Wor, thank you for being patient as we kept your new wife super busy :) You're very generous to share here... I KNOW its hard!

John and Dani: Thank you so much for being wonderful, supportive siblings to us. Thanks for the coffee table which later became a microwave :) Thanks for making the adorable coloring books for the wedding! They turned out AWESOME. We're so glad you get to stay here for school! Yahoo!

Becca: Thank you for being the adorable, sweet, light-hearted sister that kept me sane with Zumba classes and your cheerful smiles and wacky moods :) Thank you for the gorgeous hurricane and adorable cupcake stand. Thanks for your help and support even when you have been so busy this semester. Thanks for helping and being a huge part of the planning with the bridal shower and bachelorette party. I love the lingerie!

Adam and Jacob: We haven't been able to see you guys as much lately considering we've been a bit crazy... Thanks for your patience as we've taken a bit of your mother's sanity... You guys are awesome.

Brenda: Thank you for helping keep my mom sane during the planning. Thanks for paying for our invitations and for our china. Thank you for being there during all of the planning of the floorplan and helping get everything ready for the wedding and bridal shower. Thank you for everything. You are awesome!

Rhonda: Thanks for helping with the shower, wedding, and candy. Thank you for the china. Thanks for being so supportive and loving.

Carol: Thank you for the beautiful and delicious bridal shower cakes. Thanks for your love and support. We're so blessed with family.

Mike: Thanks for DJing! You were awesome! We love everything about the music. You really did a great job.

Jordan and Erin: Thanks for your support and being here for all of the events leading up to the wedding and for your help at the wedding itself.


I know I had to have missed so many people... if I did... thank you!

Ross and Rachel
