Jamie and Leah's Wedding

This weekend, my kind-hearted oldest brother married the lovely Leah…and I could not be more thrilled for them!

The ceremony was sweet and Christ centered. Since Leah's family is Korean, they did several Korean traditions during the ceremony. One of them was walking down to hug and thank both sets of parents, which I thought was such a sweet moment.

The wedding was in Atlanta, and one of the wonderful perks of being the groom's family is that all of our extended family, close friends, and so many people I wanted to see were there and we had the luxury of having the time to hang out and catch up!
 
   

The dance floor was hopping, my favorite being my soon-to-be 90 year old grandmother who was tearing it up as usual :)

One of the things I loved most about the weekend was all the high compliments that so many friends and family members spoke about Jamie and Leah and the way they constantly love and serve those around them in a quiet, humble manner. I truly admire that about them and cannot wait to continue to watch that for years to come.

As a part of another Korean tradition, Leah changed into a Homboak (which my mom was also sporting!) for part of the reception. Once again, she looked lovely and the festivities continued!

I'd be lying if I didn't say that as much as I love my family, I'm not thrilled about my current 9th wheel status that I now hold seeing as I am the only single one left. Here is a fun picture of the original Carrolls…

and then the up-to-date Carrolls...


I could not be happier for the newly weds, and I am so excited for their future together! I love you two!

Cheers to 2016!

Hello my long lost readers,

So 2015 was wild and busy and this blog unfortunately took a back seat to the demands of daily life. But I am back and promise to post more in the new year. Here is a quote that I love...an eloquently written wish for excitement and blessings in the year to come.
