Interesting title, I know :) And the answer, if you are wondering, is yes! We (or I, rather) have planned an arranged marriage for Mary Frances! The boy's name is Nate Grayless and he is the son of one of my best friends from high school, Haley. Haley and I have been friends since the sixth grade. She is the kind of friend who you can go months without talking, but when you do talk, you pick right back up where you left off. She is thoughtful, creative, loving, loyal, and can let me know when I am being totally out of line (not many friends can do that!). We were pregnant at the same time and due within days of each other. *side note: I was due first, but she went into labor before me!* Her sweet little boy was born just two days before Mary Frances. Haley knew she was having a boy and so we knew that if I had a boy they would be best friends, or if I had a girl they could get married! And so that is why they are having an arranged marriage!

Mary Frances finally met her beau over Christmas when Haley, Ryan (her husband) and Nate came into town to visit her family. *another side note: her parents live in my parent's neighborhood and her sister lives in our neighborhood!* So, Mary Frances and I went over to the White's so she could get to know her future husband and get some pictures for their rehearsal dinner. Paul wasn't thrilled about this, though, and said it is a good thing he lives in Texas! Nate and Mary Frances loved each other. He kept making eyes at her and she was loving on him! Here are some pictures of their sweet time together.

Both lusting after Sophie the giraffe. We need
some lessons in sharing! |

It's hard to get two 6mo babies to look at the camera
at the same time! |

| So sweet! |

Nate wasn't quite sitting by himself yet and so we propped
him up against Mary Frances and she started kissing him!

As you can see, we had a great time with Haley and Nate and we cannot wait to see them again soon!
Love,
Katy
How precious!!!
