The invitations are out!!

Hello all!!

The invitations are out!! Our second son is getting married next month, and as per tradition, we will be hosting the rehearsal dinner with one small difference: there'll be no rehearsal! So, we're just calling it a Wedding Celebration Dinner. The good news is that I mailed out the invitations yesterday at the post office, posted with a pretty heart stamp. The bad news is that I ALMOST mailed out one of the invitations WITHOUT an ACTUAL invitation in it. Good news: My 14-year-old son, who was helping me attach stamps, noticed that there was no invitation inside the envelope. Bad news: I didn't get the invitation into the mail today. Good news: I'll get it in the mail tomorrow, I hope! And then I'll just sit back and wait on the RSVP's to come rolling in! Enough bad news, good news. Please be in prayer for the couple as they approach their nuptials, that the Lord would bless them and keep them, and that all might run smoothly. As my husband says, though, "In the end, as long as you're married, it was a success," though his wording is a little bit different, something about a monkey in a tux being there for the show.

On a different note, spring sports have started at my house. I've got two girls in soccer, and two boys in softball, both in Christian leagues, which is a wonderful blessing! I don't know if any of you are familiar with the Upward Christian Sports League, but they have been a blessing to us through a local church. My girls play Upward soccer. You can check them out at http://upward.org/. They provide a basketball and cheerleading league in the winter, a soccer league in the spring, and I believe flag football in the fall. You can go to their website to determine if a church local to you provides any of their leagues. I would encourage you to check it out if you have a child who would like to participate in any of these activities.

Blessings!
