Patrick is the pastor at the church that Brian and I belong to, St. Philip's Lutheran Church. I have known him personally going on 15 years, and he has always been a very important part of my life. He has supported both Brian and I, and we are so happy that he will be part of our day. If any of you need a pastor, or a church, I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you look into Patrick and St. Philip's...you will never find another more welcoming and loving church family!

Day of Shoes

http://www.crocs.com
I wear Crocs all the time; they are one of the only shoes that give me amazing comfort from the pain in my leg.  I didn't want to wear the standard bulky Crocs, so I browsed the website and came across the Malindi in Oyster.  Friends had them and raved about how comfy they were without anyone knowing they were Crocs.  I decided that these would be comfy, I wouldn't have to change out of them, no one would know, and I can wear them again!
Best part?  They only cost me $25.  If you watch the Crocs website, they do free shipping offers (sometimes with price minimums, but that was fine for me; I just bought another pair that I will wear too!).  This made it easy and affordable.  The shoes arrived within a week, and fit fine.  I can't comment directly on returns, but from what I have heard, they are very easy to deal with.
If you are looking for something comfy (If you are switching out into flipflops, consider these instead!) or if you can't wear heels, I highly recommend going this route.  Crocs has many pairs of "dressy" shoes (some with a little heel!), and I am confident you can find a pair to wear!
