The Annual Egger Holiday Feast!!

Megan always hosts a FANTASTIC and FUN holiday feast the Egger home! This is always one of my favorite holiday events, as we both consider the Mowrey family and the Egger family as our own family! Both sides of Megan and Luke's families has always welcomed the Georges' into their homes and have considered us as a part of their family. We love you all and had a great time!

It's time to feast!!!!!!






We had a carpet party on the floor when WE ate!!!!!


Family time is so fantastic!!








Kids, kids and more kids!!!
















Look at all the beautiful bellies!!!
Nellie is due in January and Megan & Beth are dus four days apart in April!

Just some general venting!!! :)

My name is Mindy George and I am 26 years old. I am married to Mr. Lyon George and he is 28. We have been together for nearly 8 years and have been married for four. I feel as though, the two of us were put on this earth to be together....yeah, it may sound like the cheesiest thing ever, but we make one hell of a couple! We have fun together....yes, we fight - we're human.....we have our disagreements, but I wouldn't trade that man for anyone else in this entire world! We have two beautiful boys....Jory is my step-son and Gunnar is my son. They're our life.....we have a great relationship with Jory's mom and step-dad. (Many people have commented on how "weird" it is that the four of us get along so well, but it just works better when you're friends instead of enemies working against the grain.) Lyon and I lead a very happy and fortunate life and consider ourselves lucky to have the friends and family that care so much about us. We don't have an elaborate home, expensive cars....we live paycheck to paycheck and are happy with living just this way.

I am a self-proclaimed (self-pro·claimed (s--lf'pr---kl--md', -pr?-)
..BOF_HEAD-->adj. ..EOF_HEAD--> ..BOF_DEF-->So called by oneself; self-styled) professional photographer and have enjoyed working with any and all individuals who have chosen me to capture their photos. Images by Miss Mindy, LLC was started by my husband and I about a year and a half ago and this business has grown so much since we began. Some people may not agree with the title of "professional photographer", as I did not attend a photography school, nor do I hold any type of college degree, but as stated at the beginning of this paragraph, I have given the title of "professional photographer" to myself.

I do, in fact, have quite a few tattoos. This is something that I have taken a liking to in my adult life. I have, been labeled a "tattoo-freak", I have been called "stupid", and the one that gets me the most....my professionalism and abilities as a mother has been questioned because of my tattoos. This is hilarious to me, because if you know me at all, you know that I conduct myself in a very professional manner when it comes to my business and that I am a fantastic mother. My parents did not disown me.....as said by my mother, "You're an adult and what you want to do with your body is completely up to you, Mindy. People have plastic surgery done, they get liposuction, they alter their bodies in so many different ways.....who cares.....I love you no matter what." And quite frankly, my parents have really grown interested in other peoples tattoos and aren't "afraid" or "intimidated" by them....they approach that person and ask to check out what they have. It's pretty cool of them if you ask me. A thought to ponder...you go to your doctor for 14 years...he's your doctor, your parents' doctor, your child's doctor.....one day, you see him/her out and about, outside of his/her office....and he/she is covered in hours upon hours of tatto art. Will you look at this person in a totally different light for that simple reason? :) hmmmmm?? :):):)

I am a faithful wife to my husband, a wonderful and caring mother to my boys, a responsible babysitter for my 2 nephews (who I provide daycare for every day of the week), and a business owner. I am proud of my acheivements in life thus far.

Please understand...this is not geared to any named person....just those of you who choose to be narrow-minded and rediculous. It's easier to live life with an open-mind.....it makes your mind grow!! :) heehee!

That being said, have a great, wonderful and exciting day! Live everyday to the fullest and regret nothing!!!!!!!!!!

Luke & Megan Egger

Megan & Luke Egger were married on September 15th, 2007.

This couple holds a special place in our hearts that we will forever cherish.

We've grown up together, separately. Megan and I met in 5th grade - clarinets brought us together! Luke and Lyon met sometime in grade school - wrestling is what brought them together! We've lived together and have shared graduations, birthdays, holidays, and many milestones with each other. The greates milestone to date is experiencing their wedding day....together.

The original plan for their wedding was this:

The two would head to the courthouse the day before the wedding, get married legally there and then Lyon would perform the ceremony on the actual wedding day.

Lyon and I came across some websites where a person can be legally ordained to perform wedding ceremonies. How great would THAT be?! Lyon perform the ceremony - to forever bind the two of them together and I capture the pictures that would forever tell their wedding day story. So.....that's exactly what we did! The only catch - NO ONE (except Megan's sister Molly....the maid of honor and Ben.....the best man)KNEW ABOUT LYON UNTIL MEGAN WAS WALKING DOWN THE AISLE!

We held the rehearsal.....which was tough. Megan's parents were there and we had to make a story up as to why the minister was not able to be there for the rehearsal. The four of us almost lost it a couple times during the rehearsal! It was great!

So, the wedding day came...Megan shared with her dad - as she's walking down the LONG aisle at Dawe's Arboretum - that Lyon will be performing the ceremony join her and Luke in marriage.

The wedding ceremony was beautiful! The weather was perfect - a little cold, but perfect! Megan looked gorgeous and Luke was dashing with his white tux and red shoes!!!!!!!!!

Megan and Luke - we couldn't imagine our life without the two of you in it. We love the both of you with our hearts and souls and wish you a long and happy future together!!!!!!!
