The big wedding was a week ago, the reception was last Saturday. I think that all went well and now these things we can put behind us. The wedding came on a beautiful day in Sedona (today it is really cold there so glad it was a week ago!!) and most everything worked out well. Few minor problems but nothing to ruin the day. The reception was fun - dancing, food and just being with family. It was good.
It was so fun when the first slow song after the bride and groom danced that two of the grandchildren came immediately over to grandpa and I and asked us to dance. First time ever dancing with them so it was a lot of fun. A lot of dances I didn't know - and the music was way too loud, but it was still fun. I asked for the music to be turned down - but I could almost swear they turned it up. I should have been insistent. Why is it that DJs always feel the music must be at top volume? I hate the music when it is like that, and nearly always ask for it to be turned down. I feel that if you can't talk while the music is playing - then it is too loud. Just my opinion.
Now the holidays are quickly approaching and I realize that today is November 17th and Christmas is what - 5 weeks away? Since I do all the shopping and preparations for everyone, right now I feel overwhelmed. Partly due to lack of finances to purchase much, and partly because I have other things going on as well. Work, for one thing.
Which - I am only working 1/2 day today - hubby has cataract surgery at 11AM-ish so am only working until 10AM. This afternoon I plan to go out and get some groceries, and maybe look to see if I can't get one or two gifts. I have picked up a couple things, but not much. Working on two gifts now as well. Need to focus on getting those finished. I remember one year several years ago that I worked until 1AM Christmas morning to finish one gift for a grandchild. But I got it done! Last year I gave a "homemade" quilt to a son and his wife, and had to ask for it back for I didn't get it finish. But, I eventually did and was able to return it.
So that is my weekend and my day. I need to start getting my thoughts together and not share so much personal stuff I guess.
I'm looking outside my window and see pink streaks in the blue sky as the sun is starting to arise. It is a cold morning for sure (I put sweats on!) but looks like it will be a beautiful one. Time to dig my sweaters out of drawers and closets.
Take some time to see the beauty of the day outside - and feel the warmth of the love of God inside.
Blessings!
