Chapel Blog | Our weddings, events and news

A chapel in Central Texas or a U.K. view?

It's looking decidedly spring-ish out there these days, and we're absolutely loving it.  Guess we've been pretty busy, since there were no blog posts the last couple of days, but that's to be expected at such a special place on the weekends!  Well, since thursday, we've run some errands, gone to the Lion's Club 'garage sale' and got some great little finds.  Also got to visit with Samantha, Laura & Greg regarding wedding planning.  Yesterday was church for both of us, and then a delightful visit from Sarah.  We got our walk in, had an excellent dinner and visited over tea in the evening.  The perfect end to a perfect weekend.  We're gearing up for Easter Sunday, and eggs, decor, dishes, linens, flatware, etc. are all being prepared for the celebration.  Our weathet is still the unknown variable with possible thunderstorms, so the actual location of the Easter dinner is to.be.determined based on weather predictions as we get closer, but no matter, it'll be somewhere, and happiness and fellowship will abound!  ...   Hoping to get the 1973 Fleetwood into the shop today for a U-joint problema, nothing major, but she would have come in handy for church yesterday when the temperature was about 52!  Nice, coooool ride into town in the '71 with the top down!  No matter....just be thankful you don't have to walk AND that the windows go up to block out the breeze!  ...   We're counting the days until A&D's exciting Easter weekend wedding, and know it'll be special, since they are!  Set up for their big day should also start today...so we're not going to be bored this week.  ...   Talking with Sarah last night about a trip to the UK really got me thinking about how much we love our time there.  One day soon, we're sure. 
 
He sends just the right people into your life at just the right time.  Our job is to see that as a reality, and to act accordingly.  Some folks are there for an entire lifetime of interaction, love and companionship, and some are there for just a 'season' for whatever reason He chooses.  Some are 'removed' from your life as a blessing as well.....  He has a reason, for all the seasons, and it's actually fun to meet someone new and wonder what He has planned with this new introduction!  Blessing to all on this day of Holy Week, and our sincere prayers be with you as you prepare for one of the largest miracles of all!  When you meet someone new today....look for the meaning of the new interaction and open yourself to it!  It's exciting!

This stained glass window welcomes everyone to the chapel kitchen! It was one of the first things we bought when we were building the place, and the colors and pattern are just right for our look!

We get to see some brides and grooms all the time, and it's really fun! Supper at Hettie and Chad's last was no exception. They're house is coming along beautifully, and it's fun to be involved!

Tea Ladies doing their thing. Lynda, Karen, Lisa, Emmy and Susan are supping and dining on the annual tea fare at the chapel. Hats are looking pretty great here, and everyone wore one! Way cool!

Who says the Consigliere doesn't work hard around here?!? Here's our hero making sure the world is safe for white bread sammiches! I love Samantha's super classy hat look here! First tea for her!

Check out this tea party, fun-dango kinda shot! Clearly, again this year, hats were required, and there were quite a few of them. From picture frame hats to fascinators, colors and shapes abound!

It is to laugh........... The ladies say that they're coming to the annual tea party for tea, sandwiches, sweets and sparkling beverages and conversation. ...It's really for the CHEESEcake!

Happiness as a couple is palpable with these two. It was an honor to have their wedding ceremony at the chapel, and an even greater honor to have performed the rite. Art and Sue are a delight!

Totally fun teatime for the ladies! Everyone dressed in hats and sipping away. They loved the raspberry cocktail almost as much as the tea! Outstanding day that was all about Mrs. Boss's posse!

For those of you 'in the know', this chapel is truly our Joy. This is particularly evident in this photo of Samantha about 2 minutes after getting married. Mrs. Boss knows how to express joy!!!

This has GOT to be one of my favorite photographs ever posted on the Chapel blog. Jolene took this arial shot of the outdoor place settings at Jess & Sam's wedding, and it's beautiful! Def our look!
