Dreams Do Come True!


Today was the wedding of Eric Lamphere and Christa Boyle. It was beautiful. Christa looked like an snow princess in her satin dress with silver and rhinestone beading and fur shrug. Christa's Dad gave her a heart when she was 17 that had a key that came out of the middle of it the heart was engraved and said..."He who holds the key can unlock her heart" The key pulled out of the middle and her Dad has kept it until today. He wrote a song for her and sang it to her after he gave Eric the key. Here are the words. The tune and the first verse was written when she was a baby. (Some of you will recognize them!) The new verses were a surprise to Christa. There are a few pictures below and you can go to www.specialimagesphotography.net to see some of them. To all you who have known Christa through the years and to all those Crown College Friends who prayed for her even though at the time you didn't even know her, Thank you for all your love and prayers. Only the Lord knows the prayers that were offered up for her and today we see the victory! We love you all and we wish you could have all been here for this special day. We are so thrilled that Christa has married a man of God who desires to serve Him with his life. He is God's perfect choice for Christa and we love him. Pray for them as they serve the Lord together at Clark Fork Baptist Church in Clark Fork, ID Enjoy the pictures!

8 days and counting

Well, If it didn't seem real before it does now. Eric's Grandmother "Gram" came in on Wednesday afternoon. I was able to pick her up from the airport and spend a little time with her. Eric drove down on Thursday and the three of us spent the day together. We went to the court house and got our marriage licence. So, it is all a go. =) Then Thursday evening Eric's parents came in. We are all looking forward to Thanksgiving together and then the wedding. It is all come very quickly, but i am thrilled and am getting more excited every day.

To all the faithful

Isn't my mom wonderful. well, to all of you who like the details. I had my fifth and final shower this past weekend with the ladies at Clark Fork Baptist Church. My mom, sister, and Angie Samples were able to drive up and attend as well. We had a great time and i was very glad the ladies got a change to spend some time with my mom and sister. I am now down to 10 DAYS and i am very excited. We have a lot to do still but it is all coming together. My mom and friend Cyndi have been a huge blessing to me. While i was working they did a lot of the planning and shopping for me. I don't know what i would have done without them. I will try my best to update more often. or i will just call mom and have her do it for me =)

Hi everyone! I am tired of going on Christa's blog and not finding an update. I have been bugging her about it and so she told me to do it! So here it is the beautiful ring that Eric gave her. She has been very busy making wedding plans, going to MI to meet the family and attending showers in her honor. So far she has had a shower in MI at Eric's home church, A personal shower given to her by her best friend since 3rd grade and Matron of honor, Cyndi DeGarmo. Christa's family in Seattle had a shower for her, Faith Baptist in Spokane had a shower last night and Eric and Christa's church in Clark Fork, ID is having a shower Friday night. Is she spoiled or what. Eric told me it is my fault and now he has to deal with it. That is not all about her he will have to deal with! HE!HE!HA!HA! We are very excited about having such a wonderful son-in-law and are so thrilled that they will be serving the Lord together at Clark Fork Baptist Church. If Christa doesn't post wedding pictures I will!!! Love, Christa's MOM
