It was wonderful getting to see my family for the first time since after our wedding especially for such a happy event. For those who are not too filled in on my family life, Zabrina is my former sister-in-law who we are very blessed to have such a close and positive relationship with. Mike and Zabrina actually said their vows in April in Las Vegas. They wanted to have a ceremony for family and friends to witness as well as a celebration! The wedding was held at my dad and stepmom's home that they recently built in Hemet, CA. It really was a great day and wonderful to see how happy and whole this family now is. At the reception, Mike made an announcement and asked Jaymie, Zabrina's daughter, to become an Emerson like her mom. He wants to adopt Jaymie and gave her a necklace with engraved with her new name. It was so touching for me that I did not get photos of that moment. For those of you at our wedding, Jaymie was one of my bridesmaids. Eric just loves the idea and role of being an uncle now and I can tell the kids love him too.
We got the chance to have my Grandma Ida stay at the house with us too all weekend which was a lot of fun. She seemed to really enjoy herself. On Sunday we went to church at my former church, Reformed Baptist Church of Riverside. My grandma came with us and my younger brother Jeremy, a freshman at Cal Baptist University, also showed up. It's amazing to see my brother basically out on his own and maturing into his post-high school self. It makes me so excited to see the kind of man he is becoming. It was so great seeing so many of our close friends at church that were there at our wedding and had been so important and supportive of us during our whole courtship process. It was a quick weekend but we really enjoyed our time.
