My Sister's Big Week!

Well, it has been week since my sister got married but, what a big week for her. It began on the Thursday before with her Commissioning Weekend festivities. Her graduation from the Evangeline Booth College on Saturday and her Commissioning as a Salvation Army Officer on Sunday. Following this, she prepared for her wedding on Tuesday. Boy, she and my brother-in-law, Joe, picked a time for some many major changes in their lives. Becoming a Salvation Army Officer is a life changing event, but those who are married will know that getting married trumps everything. They will spend their first four weeks on their honeymoon and then report to Camp Walter Johnson for their first summer as Salvation Army Officers'. I am glad their first appointment is at camp pro-tem, it gives them plenty of time to overcome those first weeks and months jitters of being married. I am nervous for my sister but also very proud and confident in her ability to do what God has called her to.

The weekend festivities were beautiful and it is nice to have a relative now in the ranks of Officership. The weekend was beautifully done as well. Candace and Joe did have the best looking ring-bearer and flower-girl in the history of weddings (Brandon & Katie)! Pictures will follow sometime in the future. For now...Go Dawgs (in the NCAA College World Series)!
