These last few weeks have been so busy that I have not had the time to catch up on my writing - what the heck is up with that! Well, to start off with we had Labor Day weekend and I had a wonderful relaxing time spent with family and friends doing garage sale-ing, visiting and BBQing. I had the opportunity to spend time with some special friends of mine whom I hadn't been able to get together with for some time. We had a great time telling stories on each other and going over the fun things that we used to do together. It is wonderful to me that these ladies and I go back almost 20 years and even though I don't get to spend as much time with them as I would like, we always fall right into an easy pattern with each other as if no time has past at all. I think that is what true friendship is about, being there for each other, knowing that if you call they will be there for you and having that comforting feeling when you do get together (without the guilty feelings about not being able to spend the time you used to). To my friends, God Bless You and I love you all. (Now that I have moved my children out on their own I hope to have more free time again!)
Now, we move from the holiday to the birthday! My little Livvie girl has turned 10!!! TEN! Where does the time go! It seems like yesterday that I was helping my daughter, Erin, give birth to this precious little jewel. Our Livvie has grown up in love and grace and is truly a loving, giving and caring young lady! I am so glad that she is in our lives. We had a family get together on her birthday and as luck would have it our Dee and her husband Eric were here from Boston for Dee's High School Class Reunion and were able to come and spend some time with us. It was so delightful to be able to see them and get our hugs and kisses in with them too! So, as it turns out we had sort of birthday party/family reunion and had a wonderful time.
On to the wedding! The day after Olivea's birthday party I attended the wedding of some dear friends of mine who I have watched grow from childhood to adulthood. This young couple has been together for 16 years but had never gotten married -- that is until this last Sunday!! That old saying "better late than never" really applies here! It was a wonderful wedding even though we all had to stand in the rain under umbrellas! The bride's sister gave her a wonderful reception in her home and everything was done beautifully on a shoe string buget! You don't have to spend thousands of dollars to have a nice wedding! It can be done tastefully and beautifully on small budget and her sis proved that! I was very proud of all concerned in the bride's family -- they were all there to support their sister and showed how much they love and care for her! A very touching part of this wedding was the little memorial to their mother they had set up at the reception--she was there in spirit!
Not another birthday!! Yep, last night I met my daughter Erin and her family for dinner at AZTECA (I love Azteca) for the birthday of my daughter's significant other! We had a large group of friends and family come and share a great time visiting and, of course, eating! Pho enjoyed his dinner, presents and family and friends! Happy Birthday!!
This coming weekend I have a scapbooking workshop to attend and can't wait! YEAH! It will be so much fun! I have alot to do and get caught up on -- birthdays, wedding, holiday!! Love, Jimie
