Hey Everyone!!!! Well, We are back. The wedding is over. Life resumes its normal structure (that is if life even can be classified as normal). The trip was great. It was a lot of fun visiting with my family and meeting NEW extended family. There was never a dull moment to spare.
On Thursday we spent twelve hours in the car driving up to Michigan. On Friday I spent most of the day at the church preparing for the reception and the wedding that took place on Saturday. After setup I went back to my cousins and showered my sisters and gave my younger brother a bath, oh, and don't forget I had to take a nap (of course knowing me). Later that evening we had pizza at the church and met some of our new family, we then watched Numb3ers before going to bed.
On Saturday we had to be at the church by 9:40 (the wedding wasn't even until 12:15) to take pictures which as you might guess took a very long time, but we got through them. Next comes the wedding itself. We started of with the hymn Great Is Thy Faithfulness which left me almost weeping (: that song had been my grandpas favorite hymn and the last time we had all song it together was at his funeral, let alone the words to the song read so much into the situation that had brought us there that day :) Well, after that I pretty much lost it for the rest of the wedding. It was the most beautiful wedding. To see Grammy's face so filled with joy and peace and love was undescribable. The Lord works the most mysterious ways. Oh, how great His wisdom and understanding is!!!!!!! During the reception six of us granddaughters sang 'Going to the Chapel' and dressed up in fifties skirts and that was a whole lot of fun. On Sunday we went to church and I got to see a lot of people I hadn't seen in a while it was really a blast. And on Monday we drove home. Well, there you have it. Thats my weekend.
Now back to life. Today I had a full day of classes and am back into the swing of things. Tomorrow is creative writting, a piano lesson on Thursday as well as the dentist , and state competition for speech is on Friday and Saturday, so I have a pretty busy week. Hopefully I will blog later this week if I find time. I hope you all have a great week. God Bless

what a fun- and emotional- trip! The wedding sounds like such a wonderful time. It is so cool that God brought your grandma and new grandpa together! I wish I could've seen you in your fifties skirt singing your song....!!!
Wow, your speech is Friday! I'll pray for you- I know you'll do awesome. You're so talented, Elizabeth, and so responsible and grown-up. I'm so proud of you!
We need to get together once your life (and mine!) settles down.
