Doing Bridesmaid's Dresses on Saturday!!

[Marilyn]

Thank you for all your care and encouragement. I'm afraid to post pics, because I don't know if her fiance knows about this site. Our daughter is a member here, and I don't want any chance that her fiance will see her dress before the big day. I'll have to see if there are some pics I can share without the dress in them.

The planning is a bit more challenging because she is getting married 2 hours away from where I live, so much of our planning is long distance. I keep having to travel to them. I teach elementary Bible class on Sunday mornings, but have taken a break until after the wedding. Last Sunday was my last class for a while so I am more free to travel and can spend the weekend if necessary without needing to arrange a substitute.

My work has really picked up which is adding to the mix. I'm having to put in extra hours to keep up. We have lots of major chemical plant turnarounds and expansions and power plant work, so I've been running to Houston and Corpus Christi for meetings and working late to help get quotes out. Whew, when it rains it pours, but we have to be thankful for the extra business, especially since part of my compensation is commission. I can't believe how blessed we are financially right now, when we need it for the wedding and other expenses.

I do wish Val or Angie could take the pictures of the wedding. There is a professional photographer who worships where Melissa does who she has asked to take her pictures. She's seen his work and says he's good. I haven't seen anything he's done. I hope he is good. This is one of my areas of concern, but I just have to trust her on this one.

Thank you, again, I have to get some rest. Tomorrow moring will be here in a flash.
