What a great day!!!
I woke up this morning at 5 and was thirsty so I got out of bed and walked to the fridge. as soon as my feet hit the floor I knew I was not staying on them for too long. So I got a drink and laid back down for a few hours- they still hurt.
Jim Martin showed up at about 9 and was taking down the tent lights and such; I'm sure glad they come down faster than they go up, but it's still a batch of work. The Frisks showed up about 10 and brought scones and helped with the lights. Ryan Hendrickson arrived at noon-ish and took apart the power supply for the tent. It is amazing how many elements it takes to put all thees things together.
Our boys had world's for sale pickups, and I here that went very well, and so they came home about 12:45 and started with the chairs and tables. Hickocks and Luggs came about 2 to help sort through boxes and shortly after that the Higlits came over to really make sure we had things going to where they were supposed to go. So many pots, trays, vases... that it is hard to keep track of it all.
I did get the lawn mowed and pretty much everything is back in place, vacuumed the house and it will need it again with all the grass that is in here, cut John's hair and looked at the video of the first "kiss". As many times as he practiced that dip it's hard to imagine that his foot slipped but as Kimmy said, "Only to us".
I truly believe God was honored by the events of the day, I think people had a great time and I gave my sweet girl to an amazing guy. God's timing and plan are perfect but it is still hard to think about the fact that soon Kimmy will not be here very often, they will start their own family and she won't brighten our day with the warmth of her smile. She is no longer Kimmy Weinberg:( She is Kim Lugg:)
T and I had a great day talking and crying about the entire process and thinking about what the future will look like for us and them. T said that it is hard to remember that we still have all our family and friends here and when they go to NC they will be starting all over again. Kimmy doesn't really like change but she is going to get some pretty serious change here pretty quickly. Her Father knows what she can handle and He will be there to protect and supply her every need. I can't imagine what it would be like having my little girl going across America without her knowing The Father.
Tomorrow is father's day but yesterday I received the best gift I could have ever received- I got to give Kimmy away to the man of her dreams and I got a son-in-law and I know Kimmy could not be happier.
As I walked this morning I couldn't help be reminded of God's goodness to me in so many ways. I am so undeserving. I hope you enjoyed the process as much as I did.
Daddy's little girl is getting married- to a great guy- and we only get one shot at this, so we want to do it right. Here's what I'm thinking. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________
