My 30th Birthday!

I had a wonderful 30th birthday! We had a cookout with family and friends! We had great conversations, food and cornhole tournaments! I've been enjoying my new front load washer and dryer that Robbie and Lauren bought for me! I have never enjoyed washing clothes before! We've also been enjoying the new picnic table and umbrella that my parents bought me! It was a great "Happy Day!" The best part was when Lauren sang "Happy Birthday to Mommy" all by herself. It was so precious! Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes!

Towler Wedding

We headed down to Lancaster, South Carolina for the lovely wedding of David (Robbie's cousin) and Sarah Marie. We have been anxiously awaiting the wedding for a long time since Lauren was the flower girl! We were happy that the event was finally here. It was a beautiful day and a happy day for all!

After the rehersal, we also got to meet the newest edition to the Hall Family...Graham Edward! He was so handsome! Lauren kept saying how cute he was!We are so happy for Robbie's brother Jon and his wife Blair!
