8 MOORE DAYS
The Moore Boys
Posted By Kerry on July 14, 2010
I got the boys new tags today with their new name.
I’d take a picture with them wearing the tags, but c’mon, that ain’t happening.
Evan the Ring Bearer

For my two year old nephew Evan... a badge to make his role legitimate. He's pretty excited already... apparently runs around the house yelling, "David and Jo are getting married!"
An Early Present from Pop

This is a name plaque my dad made for David and me.
The countdown continues…

Ten Moore Days!
A boy, a girl, and a semicolon…

This is where my crush on David really began… [the date is about a year earlier than our wedding date]
And then, a few days later…
And, the crush grows…
Now we are nerds in love…
Bridal Showers Begin
Posted By Kerry on June 25, 2010
It’s a time for celebration, and I’m grateful for friends who are coordinating these parties on David and my behalf. Admittedly, I am excited for the opportunity to share the joy this season in life will bring.
Tonight, Susan Mayson is hosting my first shower for people from work. Susan and I carpooled for a couple of years when we both worked at GHS. Our commute was more about communicating than money saving. Susan was a new teacher who enjoyed talking to a veteran one, and I was eager to have a new, captive audience to discuss the topic of my singleness. Poor thing. I know she must be thrilled and relieved to be throwing this party tonight! : )
Tomorrow, my bridesmaids are throwing a shower for a mixture of people. Terri, my maid of honor, was one of the first people I met when I moved to Austin in 2000. She has known in our ten years of friendship the heartache of my loneliness. Martie walked that single walk with me for so long, too, and when she married last year I know her prayers increased for my day to come soon. And, look, it did! Ashley and Karin have been around in this season to see David and me together. Karin’s company from out of country prompted David and my first kiss, one on each cheek like the Spainards! Ashley, you were there for salsa dancing, a date which resulted in David and my official togetherness. I am so thrilled y’all have been there for me, and I am so excited for you being there with me tomorrow and on July 22nd.
Showers to come…
Three of my cousins: Miriam, Sasha, and Rachael are throwing me one for family and childhood friends. They have known my story, too, as I show up year after year alone to Smith Family Christmas. Thank you, cousins, for organizing such a fun (and naughty) way to celebrate our wedding! I’m so grateful for your support and encouragement, too!
The ladies (Regina, Erin, Becca, Shelley, Heather, Christina) in our small group are throwing one for us, too. They accepted me into the pack when I left Gateway to join David at Crossroads Community Church a few months back. This is the church and small group David and I will continue with after we are married, so it’s meaningful to celebrate with them as we will be transitioning into married life as we do life with them each week.
To sum up, I’m ready to get this party started! And, thank you, thank you, thank you!
We finished our premarital counseling
Posted By Kerry on June 23, 2010
Last night we finished our premarital counseling with our pastor Brady; he will also be the one marrying us. It has been a great process getting guidance and encouragement about this decision. We both agree (even before the review in our premarital counseling) on the purpose of marriage and the roles of husband and wife. I know things won’t be perfect, but I know I am marrying a man who knows the marriage trifecta — he loves God, he is committed to the commitment of marriage, and he loves me unconditionally. I believe the same. No smoke and mirrors, just gritty commitment. And grins. Lots and lots of grins. Cause the truth is… I enjoy him so… Without reservation or hesitation, I eagerly want 29 days to pass so I can marry David.
