Our Visit to Texas, Part 6

The Wedding!

My brother Cody, and my sister-in-law Courtney's wedding in Pearland, Texas.

This was actually the reason we went to Texas, but we turned it into a big, fun, family vacation as well! These are all the pictures I have right now, but I am hoping to have more in the future!

Enjoy the pictures of their special day.

Sibling pic: Cody, Amanda & Brittany!

Another proud moment

Alright-a bit delayed, but I wanted to wait until I got some good pictures! My brother Cody's graduation from 'A' School.

Here Cody is getting his "crows" pinned on (forgive me if I botch the military terms), Amanda (my sister) is pinning on one of our Aunt Keeli's, and Courtney(my sister-in-law) is pinning on one of Amanda's-very sentimental moment.

Cody walking! Can you tell which one his is?!


Cody looking all tall and military, and then together, my Coastie siblings.

Cody and Courtney on their way to their new unit in Galveston, Texas (already there!).

Congratulations Cody! We wished we could've been there, but our thoughts were with you. As they are now while you and Courtney settle in! See you soon.

I am a USCG Sibling.

YN3(Yeoman) Amanda Jenkins and Seaman Cody Durham(soon to be ET3-Electronics Technician).

These are my younger siblings in their United States Coast Guard graduation photos.

They are both stationed right now in California, very close to each other-which is awesome!

This summer my family is planning a big vacation to California for Cody's graduation from A-School, and we also get to see my sister Amanda 9 months pregnant! I am so excited.

I believe most of you know (or at least know of) Amanda and Cody, and so I thought you might like to see these pictures. I am so proud of my brother and sister (not just because of their decision to serve in our military, but that is something to be proud of).
Remember that our military is not composed of nameless faces; they are sisters, brothers, cousins, parents, sons and daughters and so on. Please keep them in your prayers!
