She is one of our favorite people.
She is spunky, silly, kind, loving, compassionate, energetic, and so full of joy.
She is a wonderful role model for my daughter.
When Morgan first met Katie, who was the worship leader at our church, she started writing songs to give to her. Katie took each and every little song with a smile on her face and encouraging words.
A few weeks ago, Katie got married. It was definitely one of the most anticipated events of our fall calendar. My kids had been counting down the days. Every time we would leave the house Landon would ask "Are we going to Katie Wilson's wedding?"
I wish I would have taken a picture of Morgan and her girlfriends waiting for Katie to walk down the aisle. They sat clumped together at the end of the pew, practically on top of each other, hanging over the edge waiting for Katie. It was precious.
The wedding was gorgeous. Katie looked amazing. It was a beautiful celebration.
In the hustle and bustle of the reception, with so many guests wanting to visit with the bride and groom, Katie took time to visit with Morgan (and her girlfriends) and take pictures with them. So much like Katie to take time for these young girls. They were all just giddy with excitement that they got to have their picture taken with Katie. A little act that meant so much to these girls.
Thank you Katie, for being such a wonderful role model for my daughter. We miss you and love you!
Awww...did Katie Wilson move away after getting married? Great picture.
ReplyDeleteThose role models are so important! My daughters have a couple ladies who influence them daily! I'm so thankful for them becuase apparently us Mom's don't know much :) Beautiful bride! XOXO
