Wedding is Almost Here!!!!!

[Marilyn]

Well, the wedding is almost here. My baby is getting married on Saturday. This is a really special time. It's hard to define the feelings. Sadness at knowing that she's not just ours anymore. She will be someone's wife. Happiness for her, of course!! Nervousness. Fear that we've forgotten something, some wedding detail. She's marrying a wonderful young man and we know she will have a good life, but we also know that she will have to learn compromise. Those big dreams of traveling the world may not happen. Her desire to live on the coast may not happen. He's a good Christian, as is she, so they share a lot of really good things. There will be some adjusting to how they do things vs how we do things. We've raised her to be an independent woman and his family views women a little differently. I think her views are actually part of what drew him to her. She's an original.

I will probably disappear from her on Wednesday. That's when I'm headed to stay with Melissa. Hubby will be coming a little later.

Keep us and our families in your prayers, please. It will be nice to get back to normal and catch up on everything when we get back.
