Wowie wow! These wedding plans are just consuming my days right now. It truly makes teaching interesting. I’d like to clone myself two or three times to take care of everything. If I’m not talking to the wedding coordinator, I’m talking to the caterer or the harpist or the violinist or the seamstresses or the DJ company or the photographer or the calligrapher or…..I could go on and on. I’m surely not complaining, as I’m trying to enjoy all of this and just take it in! So far, it hasn’t been too hard, it’s all just time consuming. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I know I’ll cherish it forever. Today, Mama, the florists, the wedding director, and I went to the church with all the “decor” for the stage. We set everything up and I think it’s going to be so beautiful! I think I’m on top of things…I guess we’ll see soon enough!

I think we did a good job deciding on what to use at the wedding. I know it will be beautiful when Kathy and Melody get through decorating. Can’t wait to see how everything looks finished. Not much longer now! Love you both. Mama

Crystal,Well it is only 8 (eight), one day after 7 and one day before 9 till the big day. I think my engine is starting to rev up a little. I am excited, happy, glad, blessed anxious, all the things my little girl has dreamed of are coming true. I can see the excitement in your eyes and your smile. You got your smile from your Mama, you got your looks from your Mama, you got those eyes from Grand Mama. You got your patience form your Grand Daddy, You got the spunk and temper from your Daddy and PawPaw. You got your drive and determination from within. You got your heart from Mama and Me. Thats why we love you so. We always did our best to care, shelter, and love you. Now it is your turn. Throw away the bad, keep the good, and build your own strong foundation. I will always love you.
Shane there are several blessed families involved in this union. Thanks for being you, thanks for being there for our daughter. I always told her the right man would come along one day. Congratulations we love you too.

Daddy,
Well, I’ve read this about five times now, and I’ve now “ugly cried” every time I’ve read it… I appreciate you and Mama so very much (especially since you are going to have to stand on corners with cups for money, now!) and I have been incredibly blessed to have been molded into what I am by such wonderful parents and family members. I know that I can always come to any of you when I need someone to talk to or get advice from. We’ve all been through a lot, especially in the past year, but our faith in the Lord and our family ties have definately got us through thus far.
Your list of “ingredients” that make me are very true…I will cherish those words forever. I love you both more that I express and I am truly grateful for all that you have done for me…
Just don’t trip me when we’re walking down the aisle, okay?
