SOOOOOOO much going on lately! Mike and Sherrod recently traveled to Alaska for her 21st birthday trip. It was only about 6-7 months early but, ya know, WEDDING! 💜 She wanted to go dog sledding and whale watching and the bonus was they got to enjoy 50 degree weather while we were here, melting! She got some really great pictures:
The wedding planning is in full swing. ONE WEEK until go time! Yay! They're having so much fun planning and getting things done together, but I know they will also be glad when they can just rest. In fact, we could ALL probably use some rest. 😂😂😂 Not that it's all wedding-related...it's just been a bit crazy around here with this whole clan!
We had the bachelor and bachelorette parties last week. We painted pottery for Sherrod's and enjoyed a nice dinner with most of the bridal party:
Alex and the guys went camping. Wallace and Calvin were THRILLED to be invited and to get to go! They have lots of fun memories/stories...starting with the packing of the backpacks. If you see Alex or Wallace, be sure to ask about Wallace's pack! 😂 They didn't get a picture that night when everyone was there, but they did at least get this picture that Selah insisted on so she can finish their engagement album.
Lots of wedding planning has been happening. I'm so glad to have (most) everyone involved! (Selah took the photo, Mike was in a chair beside the sofa.) I think we have pretty much everything done. We're just going through some minor details. They are going to get their marriage license TODAY!!!
Yesterday was a crazy busy day and dinner did not get planned. I was out in the pool house, vacuuming the pool (don't ask😟), Mike was fixing the van (ugh😟), and the littles were playing outside. I came into the house to find all the big people in the kitchen, working and talking and laughing. Sherrod was making biscuits while Alex was busily warming up leftovers and the other girls were fixing plates. They were all giggling and telling stories and laughing and the thought hit me once again, how thankful I am for this clan that the Lord has given me. What a joy!
