Wedding post #2

Until we get our OFFICIAL FABULOUS professional photos in...these are my favorite of the ceremony. Burgundy dresses, grey vests, and falling lights set the stage for Lauren and Ian's BEST DAY EVER. So very thankful that they could demonstrate a CHRIST-centered, fun wedding for every guest in the room.

Yes, the best man acted like he forgot the ring. A red ring pop was passed forward...until the real ring was found.

Yes, the pastor said there was much more written to the men in the Bible about how they needed to treat their wife...because men were a little slow, or they needed more instruction.

Yes, they danced off the stage...including twirls for the bridal party.

Yes, Richard helped me figure out yet another crazy plan to hang lights from the industrial ceiling in our church and did it without complaint!

A Day in the Life

4:00am Heard shuffling feet above my bed
4:02am Confirm with Richard that he can hear sounds too
4:10am Richard goes out and shines light above our room, and a raccoon sticks his head out then returns. Richard notices the flashing is torn up at the corner of the roof where the raccoon has gotten in.
4:30am All is quiet and we fall back asleep
4:45am We hear trash truck and realize we forgot to put out cans
4:48am Richard puts out trash as first truck got recyclables
5:00am All is quiet and we go back to sleep.
5:01am Feet start dancing over our head.
5:15am Richard and I start discussing how to get a raccoon out from the attic without scaring him into the rest of the attic. All this we are not willing to do before the children awake.
6:45am Richard texts landlord, tells him he is going out of town for the weekend and I'm a little uptight about a raccoon being in the attic. Also mentions that it's supposed to storm all day and the roof is open.
8:00am Landlord says someone will come and fix roof around lunchtime.
9:00am Jordan's award assembly
1:30pm Cameron's first choir musical. He's a tomato.
2:20pm No show from anyone to fix house. Location of raccoon, unknown. Rain falling since 8am.
2:50pm Richard climbs in attic, bangs pans to run out raccoon if he's still in there. Then climbs on roof and covers hole and torn flashing with cinder blocks.
3:00pm Landlord says someone will come fix hole tomorrow.
5:00pm Richard headed to Oxford to call the Hogs!
6:10pm Call time for Cameron's musical at the elementary school.
6:30pm Cameron, as Tony the Tomato.
8:00pm Dinner, comfy clothes and a movie. Tornado watch until 9:30pm.
