The best story I have from over break, when I spent time in Colorado where wedding planning is always on the agenda, is from spending time with my second family. When I was in college, I became a nanny for Megan, a Delta Gamma sister I met at a yard sale, watching her daughter Ellie. Ellie and Megan, along with their newer family additions the Brokers, have been a major part of my life ever since. For this reason, I couldn't wait to invite Ellie to be a part of my wedding. I wanted to make the invitation extra special, and wanted to ask in person to see her reaction! I bought her a special cupcake from my favorite Dillon bakery, Blue Moon, and wrote her a card asking her to be my guest book attendant. When she opened the cupcake and card, she was glowing, Megan almost teared up, and all three of us shared the special moment. Then dress shopping online at Nordstrom and JCrew immediately followed. It renewed my excitement in planning for my wedding.
In Colorado Springs, I am always welcomed by the Broker family. I love that they are a family that runs together, eats together, does homework at the kitchen table together, and the fact that they are kind to others, strangers or old friends alike. Thank you for letting me join the family on occasion, and inspiring me in my own future family.
