Its been awhile!

Yes.  I know.  It's been awhile since I last checked in.  No excuse.  I just have not been inspired.  We've been spending time with Mom & Dad.  Mom & I go our way and talk.  Dad & Alan go their way & talk.  Mom has been a big help, as usual.  Menopause is rough and the symptoms just seem to be getting worse.  Also new ones are starting to pop up like dandelions.  If it wasn't for my talks with Mom, I would think I was losing my mind.  


I have started my countdown to Eric & Julie's wedding.  31 days and a wake up!  I think I have everything now.  Dress, check.  Shoes, check.  Purse, check.  Strapless bra, check.  I think bra shopping was the most time consuming and, surprisingly, the most complicated.  I have my hair appointment set for 9 am the day of the wedding and Mom's Mary Kay lady, Judi Tapella, is doing our make up (for free!) at 11:00 am.  We don't have to be at the church until 2:00 pm, so that will give us plenty of time to sit & relax before we have to get dressed and take off for the church.  I don't think I have ever seen Eric so happy with a woman before.  He is so into the wedding & the planning.  He is adamant about not seeing Julie's gown until she starts her walk down the aisle.  


This is good.  Our family is long overdue for a big wedding.  Happiness & togetherness.  Lots of family pictures.  My only disappointment is that Daniel won't be there for pictures.  But that's another story.


Just happy thoughts!
