Ubben - Sharlow

Staci and Mike have really been a joy to work with. They are truly a couple that sparkle when around one another. The day started at the salon with bridal party, mom's and friends who showed up to join in on the celebration with Staci.

After they had a private moment with one another we were able to grab a few pics at a near by park in between sprinkles. This of course didn't dampen their spirits. We then headed back to The First United Methodist Church for a few more pics. The ceremony was a beautiful occasion including the groom's brother, David, singing "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds as the wedding party entered wearing a light lilac strapless with shawl.

The reception followed after the couple greeted all the guests as they went down for the continued celebration in the church's hall. The hall was where Staci and Mike first met. This made it extra special to them to spend time with friends and family on their day. The passion was made apparent as they entered to the playing of the K-State fight song.

Staci had a couple of surprises for her new husband Mike. They all played out perfect and he was really surprised to first see that she had a custom made Volkswagon Bug as a groom's cake special made just for him. He loves and collects VW bugs as we had been informed of weeks earlier. It was neat to see his expression as he came to see the cake table. A little later was another surprise for Mike that had been kept a secret by many guests. This one was played out after we "asked if they wanted to go outside for a few more pictures". This was all part of the surprise. Little did Mike know that Staci had made a connection with one of the guests to bring an antique VW bug to go away in on their wedding day.

We are really glad we were able to be with you guys to capture your wedding day and all the little special surprises/memories that were included with in it.

Crazy Times

Sorry gang for dropping the ball on the old blog. Things have been crazy as normal, but yet still not so normal.

First, thanks to everyone for your prayers and kind words for Jeff's Dad and Grandpa. End of Feb. we found out that Jeff's dad has B-cell leukemia. After testing and many prayers we've learned that while he does have this type of leukemia it is a very slow developing form of leukemia. The doctors told us that he is in the earliest stages, and it can be a number of years before anything starts to develop. So while this news is not something we were looking to hear we are thankful for the stage and type that it is. Shortly after learning about dad, we learned that the doctors had found a possible cancer mass in Jeff's Grandpa's esophagus. After much prayer and another scan weeks later, God had amazed us with the news that it was none cancerous. This was truly a blessing and a testament to the power of prayer.

We found out yesterday that our dogs have a clear bill of health after having had heartworm. So they are very happy to be dogs again and run around the yard after being cooped up on kennel rest for over a month.

So what else have we been working on? Well it might be easier to list the items rather than write about each.
