This afternoon I will head back to AZ for a very quick trip to help Britt look for a wedding dress.  Abs will be going, too!  We are really looking forward to a a great “girl day” on Saturday.  Sadly, Janay will not be back from Young Life Camp yet.  That makes her heart and ours a little sad, but since she lives with Britt this summer, she can help her with other details that we can’t do from Colorado.

It’s crazy to realize that my dreams of seeing our family grow is beginning to happen.  I absolutely love Brendan and can’t wait for him to be part of the family, although it feels like he already is 🙂  Can’t believe that in six months, my baby girl will be taking on a new last name and starting her very own family!  So, so, so excited for her!!!!

Now for the mundane…my only fear about her wedding day is that I have to wear a mother of the bride dress!  Cannot even fathom that.  They are just not me.  Would it be so wrong to just wear a simple sundress or my favorite pair of jeans???? Just kidding….kinda… 🙂

Pray for my girl if you think of her this weekend.  That it would be a special time where she is able to create special memories of this preparation.  That if and when she finds the perfect dress this weekend, she will just know it.  That any sense of anxiety or stress would not overshadow the joy of this special, special time.  That she would savor every moment as she prepares for one of the very biggest days of her life and doesn’t miss a single moment of the beauty of the journey there.

So, we’re leavin’ on a jet plane….to the land of our beautiful bride to be 🙂
