Big Sigh ... (ahhhh....)

Just a few more days until the big event, my son's wedding. I wasn't feeling anxious until tonight. Perhaps it is the beautiful dress my husband just bought me. *gulp*  Yes, I really did wait until the last minute to find something. Things like "mother's dresses" should really be decided on when the girls buy their dresses, don't you think? I am fighting that tendency toward tension that likes to run down the center of my back and tie me up in knots. I am learning, rather slowly, to reach for the Lord's hand when this feeling comes over me and He has been so good.

Last night was the wedding rehearsal. Due to complications with scheduling, we decided to forgo the usual Rehearsal Dinner, and donate what would have gone to that toward the Reception. (The bridal party went to Appleby's last night... or at least those who were available.) It's hard to tell what is "the right thing" to do anymore and had it not been for the impossibility of using the church Friday night, we would have done the usual dinner.

It's hard to believe my boy will soon be a married man. He was just a little guy hanging on my knees and trying his dad's underwear on his head...
