~~~~~~~ Getting Ready ~~~~~~~






Lexi, like Amanda, never without a book

Finally, it's formal photo time. Unfortunately, and so upsetting,
the photographer lost all her photos!  
Luckily many of us took photos at the same time.
So you will see that, in some of them, we are not looking directly at the camera. 

Amanda is wearing my mothers pearls.
They broke the day a few days before.  
The local Jeweler restrung them in a few hours;
We are so grateful!

I love this beautiful  photograph with my daughters.  
What makes me very sad is that one of the pictures lost by the photographer 
is the only formal photo of Amanda and I together.
