Counting Down....and some random pictures

Top picture is of Nathan and his girlfriend, Katie...no, they aren't getting married right now, but it was Nathan's birthday Sept. 13th. The other picture is of our family on vacation in NY state several years ago.....just because.

We can't believe Don's and Elise's wedding is only days away! We had such a joyful weekend the weekend before last and last week with Nathan's and Conner's birthday and Elise's wedding shower. Her wedding shower was so much fun, because her bridesmaids planned it, for the most part. Then, this past weekend, Don's brothers and friends took him on a bachelor party camping trip in the Blue Ridge. I'll post pictures soon.

Don and I are going to miss Don around here. He comes in and talks to us, and he always has something positive to share. He is really a joyful person and a joy to be around. He's always been like that. I can't remember a time when he wasn't like that. We are happy for him, though. He has chosen a wonderful woman to marry, and she has chosen a wonderful husband too.

Okay...enough mushy stuff. I need to make a list of what I have left to do:
Finish the card for Don
<em>CALL PACINOS and CHANGE TIME OF REHEARSAL DINNER TO 15 MINUTES LATER
<em>Type up the poem I wrote for the wedding
Buy some frames for pictures of Don and Elise N/A
Take care of LG's gift
Be on the lookout for TJ's gift
GO TO ART CLASS TOMORROW NIGHT--GO EARLY FOR SUPPLIES
GO TO PRACTICE ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT
color my hair
get a manicure and ped
Look for some dress shoes for Nathan
Keep checking FreecycleMissions money
send puppet play to Grace
get decorations out on Thurs. (Print email from Kristen)

Pray for the wedding to be beautiful and just what Don and Elise have dreamed of.
Pray that God will be glorified
Meet Kristen to decorate
Decorate the tables for rehearsal dinner
arrive early for rehearsal
hair appt for styling 11 AM Sat. Creative cuts

I'll check back in before the wedding. Pray for everyone...pray I'll be well. I've been sick.
