Bridesmaid Day!

Hooray for Bridesmaid Day!

Let's start with the youngest bridesmaid.
Here is Ava with Aunt Jenni.

Jenni and her friends all gathered at the bridal shop and began some serious shopping for their dresses. Below, Jenni with Brittney Snelson, and Laura Maurisch.
Jenni went to Ft Worth Christian with Brittney,
and met Laura at UT Austin.


Next, we have Kristin McClure, one of Jenni's roommates from TAMU.
Somehow we only had one dressing room for 5 bridesmaid!
Kristin was the first to try something on.


Next came Melissa Reeves. She is Jenni's Maid of Honor.
She and Jenni met at TAMU.
They were roommates the whole time they were in college.


Next, Laura, in another possible choice of dress.
She drove in from Austin for the day.

And now we have Sarah, with the last choice.
Don't be fooled, she is not that excited about the dress!
Miss Ava was performing in the audience!

A fun day was had by all.
Jenni has six bridesmaids.
Her friend Lindsey is in Tennesee and could not be here.
Brittney did not try on dresses -- she is expecting in April.
I did not capture all the dresses they tried on.
Susan Reale and I spent
our time spoiling our granddaughter!

They did not pick any of these dresses.
You will have to wait for the wedding to see the real thing!

What a joyful day it was.
I enjoyed so much watching all these good friends get together
to share in Jenni's wedding plans.


"But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
let them sing joyful praises forever.
Protect them, so all who love your name
may be filled with joy."
Psalm 5:11

"Now Somewhere in the Black Mining Hills of Dakota....

...lived a young man named Rocky Raccoon."  I always thought that song said "South" Dakota.  Are there Black Hills in both Dakotas?  I'm sure I don't know and am not really going to take the time to find out, no matter how easy it is with Google, Bing, etc. After Cabin Time, This set of Worleys, young and old, headed for those Black Hills.  We were going to see Mount Rushmore.  In South Dakota.  And to see anything else that struck our fancy.  So we struck out in our trusty Jeep and Mini-van, loaded with kids and snacks.  On July 30.  We saw lots of motorcycles as we went.  Lots. Of. Motorcycles!  Come to find out, it was the start of the annual Sturgis Rally.  In Sturgis, SD.  If you do not know what that is, feel free to Google it! Our must stop place was Wall Drug Store.  In Wall, South Dakota.  We stopped, we ate, we shopped around.  It is a lovely place to spend a lot of time walking around. ...

THE WEDDING!

The Wedding -- the only one we will ever host! Why didn't we have more girls? This was fun! Above, of course, Dad dancing with Bride Jenni. They had fun, didn't they? But of course, this was the reception, we are supposed to have fun! The week before the wedding was a whirlwind of last minute activities. We had guests from Chile at our house -- Kani - Rod's friend from childhood, and Cristian -- Rod's brother. We also had Lindsey -- Jenni's bridesmaid and friend of Rod from Chile. We worked on wedding stuff and ate way too much! Decorating the church was actually easy -- we had lots of help. We decorated on Wednesday evening. On Thursday, we finished up by adding trees to the auditorium. And, dumb old me, I have absolutely no pictures of it! I can only hope our photographer took some! Table Decorations at Rehearsal dinner -- Cute! Friday night -- rehearsal dinner. Wow! The Rehearsal went great. Decorations -- provided by my sister and our friend Sue T...

On Being Alone

Sadie, in her "The Water Bowl is Empty" pose. I have spent the whole day alone! Well, Sadie and Belle are here, too. My goal was to sleep late, catch up on laundry, and read through March 4th in the Chronological Bible. I am happy to report, I have met all those goals! I felt a little bit like Mary or Martha today, depending on my activity. I would work some, read the Bible some, eat and drink something along the way. There was some praying occasionally, too. I have been in the book of Numbers today. One of my favorite hymns comes from this chapter six of this book (I am still trying to learn the alto part!): 22 Then the L ord said to Moses, 23 "Instruct Aaron and his sons to bless the people of Israel with this special blessing: 24 'May the L ord bless you and protect you. 25 May the L ord smile on you and be gracious to you. 26 May the L ord show you his favor and give you his peace.' Of course, one of our greatest blessings is Ava. She is getti...
