Wedding Week Part 1




Jon and Christine’s wedding was 7 days away. There was much to pack into just a few days. First, we got to spend a little time with Bekah and her roommate, Kim. It was so good to go to church with Bekah and see her “on the job.” Then, we had the delightful blessing of a meal together with all 3 kids, plus Christine and Kim. We celebrated our anniversary and Joel’s birthday, then, drove out to Long Island where we would spend the week. Christine’s family made us feel very welcome, and we had the wonderful opportunity of staying with her grandparents for the week. Our suitcases arrived, too, which was a relief, as I only had one extra set of clothes to wear. It was fun spending time with the soon to be married couple. We made ourselves available to run errands and help out in any way we could. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of preparations, we even got to go to the beach with them. It was beautiful. (See the picture of Fire Island Lighthouse above.) Another special activity was celebrating our 33rd anniversary and dinner by the harbor in North Port Village. The time was passing so quickly. Soon, many friends and family would be converging for the big event.
