Its been just over a month since I posted about the current struggle our little family is facing. In the midst of heartache, recovery and healing....I have more urge then ever to get back into blogging. I do have an update on my health, and will share that soon. I'm finding it difficult to write it, say it out loud, and relive through words. Please know that I am on the mend, and there is hope, but continued prayers are very much appreciated.
Now, for the fun! Back to the "Weekend Wrap-Up" posts. Here we go!
This weekend's theme: "Rain on your wedding day is good luck"
We unpacked moved our clothes from the Florida suitcases to weekend duffle bags and headed to my hometown for a wedding. I was excited to go to another darkside wedding extravaganza, and was planning on it just being me and Cael while Daniel stayed behind to paint the front porch. Then we looked at the forecast....
Friday night we made it in after work and enjoyed the company of my sisters and their men. We are beyond blessed that as sisters we have found significant others that not only get along, but often leave us to have adventures on their own. This night was no different as they escaped the madness for a bit to go to the local bar, while us girls had some time with each other and the kids (and if you follow me on instagram, some of these will be repeats).
There wasn't much else to do, because it just rained and rained and rained. We woke up Saturday morning to find my mom's yard looking like this
I know from experience that rain on a wedding day is stressful...even when everyone is telling you it's "good luck." Well, as it may be....these two must be the luckiest people on earth!! We anxiously waited to hear what they were going to do about the wedding because every road into town was closed for high water, many people were without power, and you'd need a boat to get to the church parking lot. Luckily, they had a shuttle arranged that took people from higher ground. The ceremony was beautiful.
We had a little time in between, so we gathered at Mom's to relax before dinner.
Then it was off to the reception!! It was so much fun chatting with everyone, enjoying delicious food as we toasted the newlyweds. But, for me, the best part was watching my son's awesome moves on the dance floor!
Cheers to Amber & Isaac!
Sunday we got to spend some time with G (my maternal grandmother) for her birthday. She hasn't been doing well (in and out of the hospital and nursing home), but pretended to be in good spirits when we visited bombarded her.
