46 days

Kimmy told me that I had better start posting here, since there is only 46 days until she has a new man in her life.

People have been asking me if I am excited or sad about Kimmy leaving home, or what I think about them moving to NC after they are married.

Here's what I think. God gives us many things as stewardship opportunities, and kids are one of them. As a parent our job is to prepare our kids for life after they have moved on. I am so excited to see what God is going to do with our kids as they move forward.

We are working on things like invitations, lots of "day of" things (I can't tell you what or I'd have to..) and even going over job opportunities and housing in NC. It's hard to believe that she is almost married.

Some of our friends are telling us they are not coming to the wedding because they know that there are some people there who will be in tears- namely me. For those who know me this is not a stretch. So bring extra mascara, or just don't wear any:) I just want to go on record right now as saying that I am very excited about this wedding and that every tear will be tears of joy.

Kimmy has just had a surgery and it was good of God to allow her to be moved up in the schedule so she can recover before the wedding. Ian graduates from the Master's College this weekend and so ends one chapter and begins another. We are proud of Ian; he finished a year early.

They're going to make a great family. What will God do with them. Please pray for them.
