What a beautiful day full of love, family and friends. Nicole and Geoff were married in their back yard in a beautiful, moving ceremony. It was perfect in so many ways. It was wonderful having all three of my kids together along with their partners and the two grandchildren.
It is so nice to see Nicole happy. She found a wonderful man and he fits right in with our family. I spent time talking to his parents today and enjoyed our conversation. I loved seeing Nicole’s friends again – they call me Mom.
The photographer took some family pictures. I hope they turn out good. I had been looking forward to having family pictures taken at our wedding in March and that didn’t happen.
The drive to KC and back was easy and smooth. Not much traffic to speak of although the Johnson County drivers are not very driver friendly.
Looking forward to tomorrow and Monday when we get to stay home and relax. I do need to run into Emporia and get some groceries but that won’t take long. After that is done I can stay hidden on my house on the prairie. Jim is going to Stillwater Tuesday but I am staying here. I need to do some cleaning, painting and mowing. I also need to get the chicken coop cleaned out really good. I want to get baby chickens as soon as we get home from CO the end of July and want the coop ready for them.
I’m tired tonight. I didn’t fall asleep until after 6:00 this morning. Not sure why I could not sleep last night. I even got up and took another bath and even that didn’t work. Maybe tonight will be the night that I lay down and go right to sleep and sleep through the night. I am way overdue for a good night’s sleep.
The weather held out today and was warm but no rain. It was a bit weird at first being in a house with 32 other people in it. Haven’t been around that many people for several months. We spent lots of time outside though and everyone was practicing safe habits. I took some face masks but we ended up not wearing them. I will admit I broke the rules and gave lots of hugs today. Sometimes a mom just needs a hug!
Grateful for gaining a new son-in-love today, grateful for a beautiful bride, and grateful to have had my whole family together today.
