Willard Senior: Krystine Sechler

The walls were brown and orange with a hint of light yellow. It was warm. Inviting. And the smell of delicious coffee filled the air. We shared stories and talked for a while about plans for the year. She plays softball and is excited for her last year in high school. 

Krystine is so charming. Her smile seems to invite you in and make you feel so welcome. She seems like the kind of girl who would be running through a field of lovely wildflowers with a bouquet in hand. And then maybe she would do something incredibly athletic. She's like that.

Krystine, I had a fantastic time to know you and your family. You are so sweet. I am so blessed to know you guys!

Chandler Hill Vineyard Anniversary: Matt + Becca

I drove through the winding hills and watched the light dance through the valleys. This place was starting to feel like home and I wasn't sure if I would want to leave at the end of the night. Chandler Hill Vineyards is tucked away in the hills of Missouri. As the sun sets, it seems as though the valley of vineyards melt away into the sunset. 

It is something beautiful. 

Matt and Becca celebrated their third year of marriage, walking hand in hand through the valley. She told me about the beginnings of their relationship and the proposal and how they have journeyed together since then. Matt is a romantic. Always leaving notes and gifts for her. He would even have her friends deliver gifts to her when they were in college. And she is kind. Always thinking of others and pouring out encouraging words over their lives.

It is really something beautiful.

Matt prayed for Becca and for their relationship while they were dating. He wrote it all down in a pretty pink book and gave it to her the night he asked her to be his wife.

Since these pearls belong to Becca's mom, they were extra special.
