The low Friday is projected to be 27 deg. Karen's bridal shower is Saturday.

It will be cold for the shower but, hopefully, will be warmed up some by the time the wedding comes. You better dig out your coat, Marilyn!!!..........We're suppose to get down to 19* tonight. BRRRRRR!!!

WOW Marilyn...snow in South Texas! That sure doesn't happen very often does it? Hope the shower goes well. And I'm sure it will:) Yes as Diana said......drag out your coat!

My nice pink sweater I haven't worn since last January is in the washer on the hand washables cycle. Guess that's what I'm wearing to the shower on Saturday. I looked at the weather history for the wedding day, Dec. 22nd, and the record high was 83, record low was 16. So shall we pray.....

This past Tuesday evening, at 6:30, the wedding time, it was cold, dark and pouring rain. I was thinking, if this happens on the 22nd, only the closest of family and friends will be there. Actually though, that would probably suit Karen just fine. Like she said, the three most important things are the dress, that her family be there and that she get to marry him. That can happen come rain or cold or whatever. Just hope the old church building has a good heating system. The girls are all either sleeveless or strapless. That's the style in our usually warm climate.

And now, the groom is probably leaving for Afghanistan even sooner than originally planned. We are just hoping it won't be before the wedding day. We really don't think it would ever be, but it is a minor concern. After the speech Tuesday evening, people were getting calls on Wednesday moving up deployment dates by 2 months. Carlton was scheduled to deploy Aprilish and had said that he could go as early as February. He's in training right now, out of cell phone range, so Karen hasn't heard any updates from him, but she expects the first thing the will tell her when he is able to call is his deployment date. Please keep him in your prayers. He will be going into the front lines with the Marines. We are soooo concerned, but we just have to pray and let God take over.

Oh Marilyn, I'm so sorry he has to go sooner than expected! You must all be so worried. I'll bet it warms up by wedding time. We have really had some crazy weather this year.

[DianaB]

Marilyn, I hope the weather settles down and Karen has nice temperatures for her wedding. It would be so hard to have his deployment moved up especially since he's going to be in a place of danger. What a worry. I'll certainly be praying for your daughter and her new husband-to-be.

Oh Marilyn! It looks like you guys are really going to get it! It's odd that it's going to snow SOUTH of us. All of that moisture from the Gulf. Stay warm and be careful!

The wedding will be wonderful, no matter what the weather, but I do hope it is a nice day!

My prayers for your SIL. He is a brave young man, and I will keep him in my heart.
