Growing up, I had an extended family. Three families, actually. Mixing our names together, we were the Daveressyhart Family. We banded together into one and spent every Sunday at church together and summer vacations at VBS and two weeks at the beach in Stone Harbor, NJ crammed into a teeny tiny house where we specialized in driving our parents CRAZY. Just imagine: 3 bedrooms to fit 8 kids, 3 moms, a parakeet and numerous hermit crabs...
Four of us girls were all close in age, and we likened ourselves to Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy from "Little Women". (if you are wondering, I was Jo...) We were always the "four girls". We were always together, printing out pictures from Bop magazine and buying hemp necklaces to wear to the boardwalk where we hoped we'd run into our crushes...
Many many years later we are growing up and getting married.

| Christy's wedding in 2010 |
The latest to take the plunge is Kim, who was married on Saturday in Monkton, MD. Kim and I have known each other since before we were born. My Mom and her Dad actually went to high school together, and both sets of parents worked together early in their careers and have been close ever since.
The wedding was absolutely beautiful. The ceremony was touching and light hearted, and everyone (especially Kim) looked gorgeous.
Congratulations, Kim and Matt. Wishing you many years of happily ever after!!!!
