It has been a busy day around here today. Jason, Melissa and her parents came out this morning with two cars full of wedding stuff. They got everything unloaded and sorted. Tables are set and things are where we can find them for tomorrow (I think).
Jason and Jim helped me make potato salad. They cut and peeled potatoes, chopped onion, celery and sweet pickles. I made deviled eggs. The work went fast with two extra set of hands.
Tomorrow morning I need to go to my neighbor’s house and pick up the cakes and then go into Strong City and get a couple bags of ice. I will make iced tea and lemonade and set up the beverage bar. I need to remember to put the meatballs and BBQ sauce in the crock pot first thing in the morning so they will be ready by noon. Not much left to do other than that.
I hope I remember to change into my fancy clothes before pictures at 1:00. It would be like me to forget! We are doing pictures at 1:00 and the ceremony is at 2:00. We will follow that with cake and punch and then everyone can relax and visit until dinner time. Dinner is being delivered at 5:30 so we will probably eat around 6:00.
I’m expecting about 36 for lunch and 24 for dinner although either number may change. We have enough food for how ever many show up.
Melissa is coming out yet tonight to decorate the swing set for the ceremony tomorrow. It was too windy earlier today to get it done then. Trusting the wind will stay slow the rest of the night and into tomorrow. The forecast is showing light winds all day tomorrow – sure trusting they are right on that part of the forecast.
It seems I have waited for this day to come for a long time. It is so nice to see Jason find someone that makes him happy. They are so good together. I think that is all a parent can ask for is that their children find someone that makes them happy.
So looking forward to a full day tomorrow with all my family here.
Grateful things are ready for the wedding, grateful all the kids will be home tomorrow, and grateful the weather will be perfect tomorrow.
