whirlwind!

whew! it's been a wild 2 weeks here... had the stomach bug, cold virus with fever, turned into croup, turned back into fever and was then determined was probably all h1n1... then the wave of wedding celebrating with brunch and rehearsal and dinner and babysitters and relatives and old friends, and last minute walgreens trips, and making sure all 4 people i am responsible for look (and act) just right for every event! plus the sweet tears, and emotional moments of seeing my sweet sum get married! then cleaning up the tornado that tore through our car and house leaving tons of laundry, piles of receipts and bills and mail. today is the first day that i am beginning to feel like i am getting ahead and not playing catch up! and we only have a slight lingering cough left. fit into those 2 weeks TWO trips to the ER! b with a high fever and decker john with breathing distress and coup. needless to say we're exhausted!

the wedding was fabulous- truly a huge celebration of what the Lord brought together! the church and ceremony were beautiful with lots of people participating in the marrying- friends singing, peter praying, a friend reading scripture, jon glock giving a charge, cousin jeff giving a benediction.... afterwards the guests were invited to walk across the yard and through the arbor to 3 sisters farm for dinner and dancing, while some chose to drive- those who walked enjoyed a surprise chi tea shot and chocolate caramel candy as they neared the arbor. summer and david arrived and were greeted by handfuls of rose petals! dinner, apple spice cake with caramel and buttercream frosting and lots and lots and lots of dancing! they were sent off to opryland hotel about 10 o'clock by a crowd of guests waving sparklers! such fun! such celebrating!
