Kristin met me for the first time on a cold, snowy January 21, 1982. She was only four years old. Kristin is my oldest cousin on the Gordon side of the family. I'm pretty sure we were instant friends from the beginning!

Over the years, we both enjoyed playing at Papa's Park in Meadville, playing with our neckless Barbie with our sisters, Erin & Sarah. One very special time that I remember was a very hot summer evening we put on a Broadway production. Our stage group was The Pink Jelly Girls. Of course we were dressed in the up & coming fashion statement: Pink Jelly Shoes. I don't remember what we danced to but I remember we brought down the house with our show! I'm sure that picture will turn up somewhere for the wedding reception slide show! :)

I guess I should tell you about me. Well, I married my best friend, Chuck Stewart, on May 6, 2006 in my hometown of Paris, Missouri. Chuck is employed with CAT as the Used Parts Coordinator and I am employed at the Hannibal Middle School as a teachers aide. I also work part-time at the Missouri Welcome Center in Hannibal. We are currently building a new home in rural Hannibal on Chuck's family farm. We look forward to moving in this summer.

We have had many, many years of memories that could fill hundreds of pages in a book. Being a part of this wedding for Kristin & Matt is just adding to that book. I am so honored & blessed that I am part of this wondeful day.
Here's to love, laughter & a very long & happy life for both Kristin & Matt!
