Thank you all for your sweet comments yesterday. You're so wonderful. Lee enjoyed reading them too. We had a very nice anniversary.
One of the families from our church offered to take Katie for the evening. They also gave us some money so we could go out to eat. They're such a sweet family. Katie had a great time. They all went swimming at a nearby lake, then they went back to their house for supper. When we went to pick Katie up last night, she was worn out.
Lee and I went to a nearby seafood restaurant. We hadn't been there in a while, and were disappointed to find that the prices had risen considerably! It's under new ownership now, so not only were the menus new, the prices were too! The food was delicious though, so that was good, and we really took our time enjoying it because it will probably be a long time before we're there again!
We thought it was funny when we gave each other our cards...we had each gotten the same card! I just told him that great minds think alike. Has that ever happened to any of you?

While Lee was reading my post and the comments, we got to reminiscing about the day we were married, and what a day it was! The ceremony went well and without any problems, but it was the hours before that were crazy!
While I was putting in my contacts that morning, one of them ripped! That was back in the day when you only got one pair of contacts. Nowadays with disposable lenses, I usually get about six pair, so it's not as critical if one tears or gets lost. Thankfully the eye doctor's office was open, so Mom went and picked up a new one for me. God bless my mom. She's so sweet.
Then someone called to say Lee had a migraine and was very sick with it. By noon he was feeling a little better, and said he thought he would be able to make it. The wedding was at 2:00PM, so that cut it quite close, but he made it!
People asked me if I was nervous, and I can honestly say I wasn't. I just remember walking into the church sanctuary and looking to make sure Lee was standing. I felt so bad for him. When we cut the cake at the reception, he was still a little queasy, and I remember him telling me to give him a little piece of cake, just enough to get a picture, so that's what I did.

Just a little note about our wedding picture - my mom made my veil, and I thought she did a beautiful job. When we priced them, they were about $100! Unbelievable! She was able to make it for about $15...quite a difference! She also did all the flowers. She's very talented, and I just think it's very special that my mom made my veil and bouquet.
When we were pastoring our first church, there was a fellow in our church who refurbished old and broken furniture, so my husband bought a curio cabinet from him. It's went with us in all our moves since then, and has always held the same things - our wedding pictures, my bouquet, Lee's boutonniere, our communion tray and glass (we took communion during the ceremony), and a porcelain bell that Lee's great-aunt beautifully hand-painted for us. It's our special little cabinet.
Once again, thank you for your sweet comments. I always enjoy hearing from you. :)
Hope you're all having a great week! Thanks for stopping by.
Take care,
