Sarah and I had the privilege of going to the viewing of Lee Waller. What a great testamony he left behind! The family was holding up so well and you could just see the Lord really helping them. We were very grateful for the opportunity to go, reminding us that our life is like a vapor and that life itself is very precious. Because it was three hours away, that pretty much took all evening and we got back home fairly late that night. Please continue to pray for the Waller family!
On Friday, Mary and I helped with decorating the auditorium, and then we all went to the rehearsal dinner at P.F. Changs. Yum Yum!! We all then headed back to the auditorium for the rehearsal, which went very well. I had the fun experience of helping the coordinator, doing whatever needed to be done and I really had a great time doing it. We then stayed and helped do the final touches to the auditorium. Now only a few more hours until the real thing!
We woke up on Saturday morning and never stopped all day long. I got ready and headed over to the church. We had so much to do before the main event! Rachel arrived and was ever so beautiful! My main job was the pictures...Rachel had made a list of all the pictures that she wanted and so I helped them with that. I absolutely loved watching all the pictures being taken, especially the ones with the bridal party, Stephen Troell did such a wonderful job taking the pictures and I can't wait to see how they all turned out. The entire wedding party looked so great and Rachel and Tony were just perfect. The cutest of everyone though was Rachel's little
neice Ashley..so adorable! During the wedding Melody, the coordinator, and I were on the opposite sides of the auditorium calling each other to let each other know when to let the next set of people go. It worked out so well and the wedding ended up being just wonderful. We then headed to the reception where Rachel Johnson, Teresa Clark and I were in charge of the cake. We cut and cut and cut and then we ran here and there until finally it was time for them to leave. Well I forgot an important part. We all went over for Rachel to throw the bouquet and guess who caught it!! Yep, Mary did and so we all hope that she'll be next in line :-) By the time clean up was over we were all so tired and ready to go to bed! What an eventful day.
HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD!!!
HAPPY FATHERS DAY! I am so thankful for the amazing family that God has given to me and I especially thank him for my Dad. He is the most wonderful father anyone could ask for and I just thank the Lord for him! I love you Dad!! You're the bestest!!
He's an awsome mechanic! :-)
Well this post is getting much too long so I will end with this last paragraph. It was the last Sunday on the bus with our best bus driver Mr. Ellison. He has been such a great help to our bus route and has provided some great entertainment over the last year and we will miss him GREATLY. We would always sing "In the good ole summer time" with him and he'd always be telling us some funny story about when he was a boy or something hillarious that had happened to him on one of his most recent trips, or maybe just update us all on the latest Nascar race...anyway he was so fun and will be greatly missed by us all. We've been talking the past few weeks about who should be our new driver and he keeps saying that I should get my CDL...scary to think about I know! And we would just laugh...well before he parked the bus he got out of his seat and let ME drive!! I was laughing and Mary and Sarah were scared and Mr. Ellison just calmly told me what to do and so I had my first opportunity at driving a bus!! I know you are all scared to death just thinking about such a thing...Thanks Mr. Ellison for the influence you've been on my life.
Well that's my eventful weekend..I am sure I could have wrote more, but I'm sure that you are all so tired of reading this HUGE long post..hopefully the pictures make it more exciting.
