Our Wedding Day

As of December 20, 2008, I am now officially Ellen Rosenberger. Luke and I were married at Radiant Christian Life in Westfield, Indiana. It was a beautiful and special day for both of us. Luke had his 2 brothers and 3 brother-in-laws stand up with him. And my bridesmaids included Luke's sister and my best friend, Maggie, my best friend from Moody, Emily, and 2 of my best friends from Nicaragua, Carey and Mary. My sister, Karen, was my matron of honor.

Here we are with Luke's 7 siblings: Melody, Maggie, Mark, Paul, Katy, Christine, and Jill. After the wedding ceremony we had a cake reception. Our friends and family really pitched in to make the elementary cafeteria look so beautiful with lots of lights everywhere. We had fun dancing, taking pictures, smearing each other's faces with cake, etc! :) It was awesome also to have several friends from Nicaragua come for our wedding - very special for us!
With a bubble send-off we were on our way to our honeymoon in Colorado. Luke and I are so thankful for all of our family and friends who were able to come and participate in our special day.

We feel very blessed and are looking forward to what God has in store for us as we start our new life together. We'll try to post more wedding pictures in the future.

My little angels


Or so they seem in their Christmas program costumes! :)


My kiddos participated in the annual Christmas program that NCA elementary students put on. They were all decked out in their adorable angel outfits. Very precious! :)


I realized the other day that I am about half way through the year with these little guys and it makes me kinda sad. I've really loved having them in my class. Each of them is very unique and I love seeing their little bodies and minds grow!


Merry Christmas from Nicaragua and from all my "angelitos" down here!
