The Stanley-McGarvey Wedding

Glynnda McGarvey & Bill Stanley were married yesterday at the Tiger Hotel in Columbia, MO. It was a simple, beautiful ceremony with dinner following.

Bill's four children, two brothers and their families made the trip up from Texas. The Taylor clan was also well-represented.  Heidi and Cooper made a darling appearance as Flower Girl and Ringer Bearer. It took four preachers to seal the deal... Dustyn Tallman, Bobby & Joe Stanley and myself all had a piece of the action.

There were certainly tears. 

There was plenty of laughter. 

The newlyweds are in the process of resettling in a smaller space in Moberly and moving the bulk of Glynnda's life "back" to Texas from whence she came. I'm sure there will be some pictures to follow from the official photographer, but here are a few candids...

GLYNNDA: Piano Recital Finale

July 14th, 3 PM was the finale to a quarter of century of piano lessons and recitals in Moberly, Missouri! It was a lovely and emotional time for both students and audience as the music of twenty-two participants filled the auditorium. Tiffiany Daiprai, whom I have taught since 1996, appropriately chose and closed the recital with "You Raise Me Up" and "Sunrise, Sunset." I will miss all of my students who have practiced diligently and with whom I have shared both joys and sorrows. I wish each of you the best as we continue into another chapter of our lives!
