a senior session in Fredericksburg when my phone rang. Beth said “Hello, Katelyn?!” in her sweet little voice and she asked how I was. You see, I was in the midst of wedding planning AND wedding season and if anyone knows how busy my life was last year it’s Eric and Beth. I was constantly having to come to v-team meetings late or leave retreats early in order to shoot a wedding…. my prayer request during planning times was always “Dear Lord don’t let my business go under! I just need to graduate and get MARRIED!”. Beth and Eric were my staff workers for Intervarsity Christian Fellowship all throughout
my time at CNU and because I was on leadership for 3 years, they got to know me really well…. like reeallly well. I was the loud, obnoxious one that got engaged and ALWAYS reminded everyone that I was GETTING MARRIED!… I was the one who cried at multiple vision team planning meetings because I’m such a girl and I let my emotions get the best of me! …. and was also the worship leader that ACCIDENTLY…. and I really mean ACCIDENTLY said “That’s what she said” from the stage one Thursday night! Oh dear Lord I’m so sorry about that. (Long story.) So anyway! Back to last summer….Beth called me and after chatting a few minutes she paused and said …. “Well we were just calling because we’re going to need some maternity pictures sometime this winter.”…. and I SCREAMED! I was overwhelmed with joy for these two!! What an exciting time in their lives and I get to be a apart of it! After I stopped screaming/crying I told them how happy I was for them and that I would be so so honored to do a maternity session! We met up last week for a quick session in the cold! I’m so thankful that Beth was willing to walk around in the woods because it was WORTH it! The light was beautiful that evening and they looked awesome!!
.
So Beth and Eric, I’m so HAPPY for you two and I cannot wait to meet this cute little boy!! Thank you for serving and loving on college kids at CNU and for making a huge impact on that campus!!! Enjoy my favorites!!
Oh goodness! Beth you’re beautiful!!
Thanks for reading!
