has a distinct way from getting away from me. With the whirlwind summer we've had, and my trying to fit "me" time amongst the packages flowing in here for finishing work, being housewife and mother, nurturing my relationship with God...well time just gets away from me.
The Wedding....
as I'm sure you all know, I did my daughter's wedding top to bottom. I did not do the meal (although had I done it, it would have been cheaper and better) but otherwise I did everything top to bottom and it was a week of exhaustion. I would not do one thing differently. There were absolutely no issues or problems, nothing went wrong. It went fantastically! The one thing I was shocked about however was: there weren't as many in attendance at the reception - as I thought would show and not as many that did RSVP, either. It was a beautiful weekend outside though and the weather was stunning, so perhaps that was a reason. Another thing that shocked me was most people ate and then left. I guess this is showing my age - but when I was growing up and a young adult a wedding was like the social event of the year. As a child I loved them because: you got to drink as much soda as your belly could hold and I got to play with other kids - running up and down the hallways sliding in socks and dancing on the dance floor amidst the adults. What fun! As a young adult, it was a time for catching up with relatives and friends and dancing. Did not seem to be much of that sort of thing going on at our wedding reception. The wedding mass however, was packed. AND for that I was so happy for Katie and Austin for that was the real reason we were there. God was joining them for life and we were celebrating their union.
Now for the pictures:
here is the venue that I worked on all week preparing....
