When our little brother signed up for 4 years with the Marines, the last thing we thought he’d be doing a year and half later would be getting married!   Well, we sure were wrong…   he’s gettin’ hitched next spring!  Best part of the whole deal – she rocks and fits right into our family :)   Assuming all the immigration paperwork goes through as hoped, they will be Mr. and Mrs. in April and make their home for a short while in Hawaii where he is currently stationed (rough life)…  as there is talk of him being deployed in Hawaii.   We miss having the crazy kid around all the time, but somehow knowing that he has a woman taking care of him (even if it’s via Skype!) makes it all okay :)

Reece is a very talented photographer and writer, and spends his days doing both of those things for the US Marines.  You can often see his work at www.marines.mil, both in the photo gallery and also articles that he has written.

While he’s been gone, we’ve been getting to know Krissy (she lives here!) and are so excited to have her as part of the family.  She’s an amazing, kind, patient, beautiful woman – we can see why Reece loves her!   I am so honored to stand beside her as a bridesmaid in the spring (with my newborn by my side!)…   and very thankful she picked black as our dress color (hides so much!).  Haha.

Anyways.. on to the pics.   I’m so glad we were able to snag an hour of time together while Reecey was here for a short Thanksgiving visit…  hope you guys enjoy!

the bathroom signs were inspired by Rachel from Rachel Ludwig Photography… I believe she did something similar to this once for a wedding?   Anyways, aren’t they hotties?!

whatcom-county-photographerI might be biased, but this is one handsome kid.  I know he’s not actually a kid, but to me he always will be :)

And last but not least.  Reece, this one is solely for you.  He wanted a “random picture with a big stick”.  Krissy and I were sports and went along with it…  the end result just makes me chuckle.  Fun times!

Your slideshow will be done soon, you two!  :)

    Awesome job, Alyssa! I’m so excited for Reece (and Kris)! Hard to believe he’s all grown up, though! It’s so neat to see former students make awesome life choices and see their faith life blossom and grow. Congratulations on gaining another sister! :)
