Moment by Moment

This Saturday we went to our last wedding before our daughter's. Just her and I went in order to represent our family, since we really, really, really needed to work on our house this weekend. I figured that we could attend the wedding, only cost us about an hour, and get right back to work. Jon was over in the morning, did lunch with us, and then he took off to get some of his own stuff done. Steve worked away on getting ready to lay tile, and Kat and I went to a wedding. We get there a few minutes before, I sign Steve and I in, she signs Jon and her in (LOL). I find she is so much like me....oh reminds me....

That morning they were doing their computer class homework while Steve and I were laying blue tile board in our dining room. We could hear their conversation. He was reading the instructions, and she was attempting to follow the instructions. She was so impatient, and he was very calming! Steve and I were nearly hysterical. She sounded just like me, and he sounded just like Steve. I am so impatient when I am trying to do computer stuff, and Steve is so calm and controlled!!!

On the way to the wedding, we were chatting about stuff, came up to a traffic light. At the exact same moment without any forewarning-we both asked "got any gum?" That resulted in a burst of laughter which lasted quite a few moments.

Attending the wedding motivated Kat. She is that much more excited about hers being right around the corner. It also gave us an opportunity to take in the ceremony, what we liked, and what we didn't. We sat with dear friends of ours whose son was sitting right in front of me. In the middle he asked, "when is the food?" I leaned up in told him in about an hour, when all the pictures are done! His face dropped! He informed me that was what he only there for the food. I told him he could come to Kat's for the food, and he wouldn't have to wait till after the pictures, because I HATE THAT! Everyone standing around waiting and waiting and waiting.

It was an ordinary wedding-nothing stand outish. I think weddings should have personality, and there have been so few I have attended that I could see the bride all over it. Too many people to please or appease. Weddings should not be shrouded in conflict-should be fun, fun, fun! I am so thankful that Kat settled on simple, that she only has two bridesmaids and that they are her sweetest lifelong friends, that they chose their dresses and shoes together, that she has a simple elegant taste and has chosen almost everything she needs, that she has personality in abundance, and it will show! She is anything but ordinary, and her wedding will be anything but ordinary!

And....we are getting closer and closer, moment by moment....
