Yesterday I had the pleasure of making a trip back to Sam's Alma Mater to the Naval Academy chapel to celebrate the wedding of my cousin Ben and his brand new wife Diana! She was gorgeous and had he most beautiful dress... and well, Ben looked pretty good too in his choker whites! Congratulations you guys, we couldn't be happier to have Diana as a part of the family now!
Now, let me tell you all about their amazing reception... they had it at the Westin in Annapolis which is brand new. The venue was the best indoor reception venue I have ever been to... it was very elegant, sophisticated and simple, very much like the newlyweds themselves. They also had the best wedding music I've ever experienced... a massive band, I guess technically an orchestra... and they were wonderful! We enjoyed lots of swing and Latin music. Not to mention the fabulous dancing... Diana's family is Cuban and they can cut a rug! Diana has even somehow managed to teach Ben to dance, something I am very jealous of. If I could ever get Sam to come home from sea I would love to take dance lessons and become as accomplished as them!Events such as these really make me miss having Sam around... attending momentous events 
alone is definitely one of the toughest parts of deployment for me. Only a couple of weeks ago my grandmother passed away and it was hard not having Sam around for that too... but I guess I am really a true military wife now... the only big event that I can think of that he hasn't missed would be the birth of a child... and Lord willing, we will never have to do that. I had a wonderful time anyway because I got to spend time with the rest of my family and catch up with cousins that I don't see very often. The picture on the right is my cute family... I think my momma looks so pretty! I am so lucky to be able to live with and near family while Sam is gone... it is really a blessing!

You look great...your hair is darker! right? BTW Seacost was awesome! And they were able to keep Tyler in the nursery the whole time...Scott challenged them by saying he's never made it through without us being paged. Anyways, big hugs from Savannah...I can't wait to maybe see you both this summer!
