Old Friends and a Special Wedding!
Saturday, my schoolmate posse' and I met at Logan's for lunch... We've been trying to get together every month or so this year..It's so fun to reminisce and get caught up with each other.... The food was great! I got a chicken fried steak, salad and mac/cheese...I know this isn't on my diet; but I splurged.... Janet Boren Caston, Lisa Carter Rich, Sherrie Branch Carter, Donna Cook Carson and Sharon Tyree Marshall...

After lunch, some went to the Mistletoe Christmas, Sharon a b'day party and Donna home...I went home to cook supper and get ready for a wedding..
Jude Johnston was one of our youths at Woodlawn.... Our youth pastor, Casey Johnson, encouraged us to ''adopt'' one of the kids as families... We chose Jude... Mama, Daddy & I tried to go to some of his ballgames when he was still in high school...and did little happies for him along...but, mostly prayed for him daily as he went through high school... After Mama passed, I feel that I neglected him.... It was something we did together... I thought of him daily and continued to pray for him...He graduated ULM and is now working in West Monroe at Richland St Bank...His honey, Shelly, has gotten herself a great young man...But, I know she's just as special, or he wouldn't have chosen her...
The wedding was beautiful...held at the Children's Home Chapel..decorated in fall colors.... The wedding party and family were beautimous, too... Especially, Jude's nephew and niece, Ty & Lucy...:) - these are two of my angel-babies... Another special person to me, Grant, did the ceremony..He was great... of course, I cried throughout...
The food was yummy.. something I'd never seen... they put mashed taters in plastic champagne glasses and had fixin's to put on them... there was alot of other yummy items... the groom's cake was chocolatey yummy! Lindsey, Jude's sister, had made it...it was LSU themed, of course....
I wish Jude & Shelly the happiest life they can have..... and will continue to pray for them as they begin their new chapter of their lives....
