T minus 28 hours and counting

It's absolute chaos and overscheduling around here. My sister Rachel's wedding is tomorrow afternoon, and though she is WAY organized and started planning in earnest 9 months ago, there are always the last minute things. It is going to be a very impressive couple of days and I think they will enjoy it...and that's really all that matters. Today is rehearsal and then dinner, tomorrow morning starts early with hair and pictures and ceremony, then more pictures then the reception tomorrow evening. It's going to be quite the party, let me tell ya.

Braska is one of the flower girls, and she'll be walking down the aisle with the assistance of two of her aunties. She has a little mini-bride dress with a huge sash and bow that matches the bridesmaids. You KNOW there will be pictures, never fear. I'm not in the wedding, but I've been able to meet the wedding party and attend a few events, like last night's pedicure/manicure party at Rachel's favorite salon. She's a very good customer, so they were very good to us. Patrick's family is all coming today from Boston and the families will meet at rehearsal tonight.

There's lots of stress, a few ulcers, loads of prayers for smooth going, and I think all involved are ready for it to get here and be over. Simply to relax once again.

I'm doing the wedding music CD currently, the prelude music, traditional ceremony songs, and post ceremony music as they dismiss the guests. Then I have some alterations to do to my outfit...which was just finalized yesterday. Don't even get me started on that frustration. We have a trip to WalMart to make last minute then I need to dig a path through my house so we can manage to get ready tonight and for my in-laws to come and watch the girls during the rehearsal dinner downtown.

I'm so ready for Sunday. I just hope they have the event they hoped for. Then everyone can relax...though only two of us are going to Mexico to relax on the beach. I'm not one of them, darn it.

  2. saw your mom yesterday (long story, sure you'll hear it sometime, in Jeff city) and she told me this was the weekend - it totally snuck up on me! I will be praying for calmed nerves and an "uneventful" wedding (is that an oxymoron?) Have fun and make sure everyone's camera batteries are charged! :0) And of course send Rachel our best wishes!

Oh happy day, Less question mark!

As a follow up to yesterday's post, I got word today that we will NOT be assigned to the new guy, but we will have an experienced coordinator after all. I feel SO much better. I also learned some other info today that made me think I still have some kinks to work out, so I'll be taking care of that this next week. I'll be SO glad when this transition/IEP stuff is behind us. I want to do the very best I can, but there's part of me who wants to just hide and let it all happen without me.

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Was there a line??

I assume that you went to vote, either today or earlier if possible. I expect that of you, know that straight up. How long did you wait in line?? And throw in the state you voted in, just for fun. I'm really curious if all areas have a big wait or if it's just the more congested ones. I voted Friday absentee/in person, and we waited about 15 mins or so. It moved VERY fast for a big line. There's just one place in our very populated county to do the absentee/in person voting, and it wasn't bad at all for what I thought it might be. If you haven't, GO VOTE people... again, please just know what you're voting for, either way. You may just have to live with your choice. God Bless America!!
