Laurel is Married!

Laurel and Craig Crisafulli

My baby girl is now a married woman.  Wow, how did that happen?  Seems like in the blink of an eye she slipped into adulthood.  I have found the experience of seeing my daughter married a major passage for me as well.  I see in my minds eye, Laurel as my beautiful young child/baby and now this beautiful married woman. They are one and the same, shaped by her childhood and upbringing and metamorphosed into her own womanhood, making the choices in the her life that she feels suits her the best.  What a privilege to be allowed to see this happen with Laurel. It is bittersweet for me as the loss of this for Jonah is even more acute.  It makes seeing Laurel grow in her life even more of a blessing. Laurel married a great guy, Craig Crisafulli.  Laurel organized the entire wedding and she pulled it off wonderfully.  Craig's family were great support and organizers as well. Here are a few photos.
