Wedding Week

Here we are the final week before the wedding. The plans have been set in motion with last minute details left to take care of. Britni has done a good job of dreaming and planning and organizing and budgeting. She will be a beautiful bride and my prayers for them are to put God and each other first in their lives. I seem to be pretty calm but know there will be stressful moments during the week. I have a lot of things that need to be done before we take off, with the store and home. I would definitely feel better if I was more prepared for the holidays at the store. I keep trying to tell myself to do what I can and then not stress over what doesn't get done.
I am looking forward to spending a few days with the girls before everyone else starts showing up.
Kevin has off until the 10th so hopefully he will be able to get lots done too. We will try and get stuff done here then head to Chicago on Wednesday. Try and finish up some last minute seating arrangements, gift bags and misc. Then Thur and Fri run errands, pick up Tuxes, pick up Malori from the airport get settled into the hotel. Fri morning the flowers are suppose to show up and then Cheri our florist and her crew. I think it will be really pretty. It is kind of funny that Cheri did the flowers for our wedding. She does a really good job. I'll post some pictures after the wedding.

My Baby is Getting Married!

I haven't got around to posting this but last Thursday Britni and Sebastian got engaged. We had meet with Sebastian several weeks ago and he told us he would propose around Valentine's day. When Britni told us they were going out to a very romantic restaurant we kind of figured that would be the day. We waited all day and finally at 11pm she called to tell us. We are very happy for them both and I feel like they are a good match for each other. It's exciting and life changing. In some ways it feels good that there will be someone to watch out for and care for her. I know we always will be there for her but it's nice to know Sebastian will too. Britni has turned from a little girl who was always curious and clumsy. She would manage to get herself in strange situations. From fall in toilets, crashing on roller blades but Cortni was the one bleeding, getting lost in Paris, getting lost in Chicago, getting lost in Danville, never really passing her drivers license, going to 2 weddings, 1 funeral, 2 receptions before getting to the right one, enjoying the arts, and finally growing up to be a beautiful, resourceful, very organized and a still a little gullible, women. She has always been adventurous, and comical, and caring. Sebastian is lucky to be getting my daughter and we are lucky to be getting a great son-in-law.
