Some background for the Illinois-Readers ....Janeen is this really great girl that we have gotten to know quite well in the last year. We first knew her as "Renae's little sister" or as "Joel & Shari's daughter." Joel is one of the elders at our church. He and his wife, Shari, have become our "Gainesville Parents." They are wonderful Christian people that we look up to and see as role models for our own lives. Their daughter, Renae, and her husband, Chris, became some of our best friends within the first year that we lived in Gainesville. This year Janeen was doing her internship for college and lived at home so we had the priveledge of having her in our small group. She really reminds me a lot of my own sister and I think that is why I instantly loved the girl. She is a lot of fun and sometimes we experience "Janeen Moments" just like we experience "Jodi Moments." They have the same definition: Silly things that are said or done that you just have to laugh at because obviously they were not quite thought through before said or done.
So, anyhow...we went to Janeen and Ryan's wedding on Saturday night. We got a babysitter for Evan so that we could enjoy a night out and not have to worry about leaving the reception early. It was a lot of fun to feel like we were part of the family. It meant a lot to us to be able to be there and witness the marriage of two wonderful people. They are moving to St. Pete and I warned Janeen that if she lives that close to the beach she better watch out cuz we'll come visit her! I also look forward to playing many more songs on "Guitar Hero" with Ryan.
I was a little dissapointed with the pictures we took on Saturday night. Here are a couple, but be sure to check
Kelly's blog cuz I'm sure she will post some good ones!
The happy couple...
Kelly & Joel were quite thirsty at the end of the evening. Must have been all the dancing...
