Brianna is my precious, 8 year old sister. She is my gift from God, my dream come true. Many years ago, I would often tell my mom that I wanted a baby sister. She would nicely laugh at me and remind me that I had a little brother, who was our last baby. I repeatedly had dreams of my mom having another child - a baby girl. I would always wake up and tell my mom, who would sweetly listen but would think I was crazy. Well, as it turned out, I was right! God gave our family a huge blessing no one saw coming. And what a joy Brianna has been :)

She is a girl to the core - Queen of pink, a princess in training, a true diva who dances and sings, and our first family artist. Brianna is FULL of life and resembles our Grandma Betty Worthley in every way. She has an enormous heart and feels things deeply. She's sensitive, caring, helpful, and brillant. She is my true buddy and my proud flower girl! About 4 years ago she looked up at me and said, "Heather, I am going to be your flower girl when you get married, right?" I told her that as long as God didn't make me wait until I was 30, she could plan on it ;)

So, here she is. A professional flower girl of 3 other weddings, going on her fourth: Miss Brianna Worthley

Words can hardly describe who Katelynn was, much less who she was to me. Katelynn was beautiful inside and out and her presence made the world a better place. She loved with all her heart, danced without thinking twice, and sang no matter who was listening. Katelynn was my one of my best friends since we were about 5. I don't remember life without her in it, making it better and brighter. Katelynn knew the good and the bad of me, and loved me just the same. With Katelynn, I forgot about the troubles of the world because her happy spirit was so contagious. When I think of my Kate I can hardly remember her ever saying anything bad about anyone. Katelynn cared for all and gave to others with everything in her. I miss her terribly every day of my life, and selfishly my heart breaks that she can't be here to experience this time in my life with me. But I am so thankful I had 15 years of unforgetable friendship and I have peace that surpasses my understanding, knowing that she is with our loving Savior in a much, much better place. I can not wait to see her again soon; she will be forever missed, because there is truly none like her.

Kelly is Matt's second younger sister, and is currently a senior in high school. I have also had the privilege of getting to learn more of who Kelly is and getting to know more and more of her heart. Kelly is an extremely talented young woman who is a loyal friend and is not afraid to stand out from the crowd. She is bold, courageous, and has thankfully come to love me too ;)! When I am with Kelly, I always feel as if I am talking to a friend my age, not just a younger sister. I value my relationship with Kelly and could not have imagined two sister-in-laws better then Kelly and Michelle. I am excited for all the years to come of continuing to grow closer with Kelly :).

Meg, Margs, Marg-u-reet, has been one of my best friends since my first year of college at JMU. Meg's smile was impossible to miss from day one, and her joy and life drew me to her immediately. Meg has been a solid, encouraging, and wise friend to me throughout the past four years. Her deep love for God is inspiring and uplifting and I could not have gone through these last four years of life without her. Meg has also been there for me through thick and thin and has been a best friend in every sense of the word. Meg is constantly thinking of others and is fabulous at making others feel loved and encouraged. Her many talents and skills enable her to add the "perfect touch" to anything. She truly makes the world a more beautiful place. I couldn't imagine my wedding without Meg by my side.

Sarah has also been one of my best friends since freshmen year of college. Sarah was Whitney's roommate and they clicked with Shelley and I right away! Sarah and I have always seemed to understand one another well, and pick up where we've left off no matter how long its been since our last heart-to-heart. Sarah and I have shared many similar pains in life and have been able to overcome them together and learn from one another's encouragement as we've grown in Christ. Sarah is full of life and loves to laugh, learn, and drink coffee :). I could sit and talk to Sarah for hours on end and never grow tired. I treasure Sarah Joy and would be honored for her to stand by my side!
