Here Comes the Bride

Finally, some more pictures of the wedding, including pictures of the most important person of the day, the bride. Well, the groom is an important person too, but everyone knows the bride is really the most important.

We had to park in a field and then they took us up to the wedding site on wagons. I am the person on the right side of the wagon, wearing a blue dress and backpack. Karisa is next to me and we are frantically trying to get Joash's shoes on. His feet grew or his socks were too thick. It took some persuasion to get those shoes on.

We also happened to pick the wagon that broke down. The bearing went out on the back left side and the wheel almost fell off. Thankfully, someone was walking down the road and noticed, so it didn't fall off. But, then we had to walk the rest of the way. Thankfully, some nice guests helped carry all of Joash's stuff.

Joash did a fine job, as I said. Here he is not paying attention as he starts down the aisle. Good thing the wagon puller (Joe) knew what was going on.

The bride's grand entrance. I love the expression on Tiffany's face. She is so excited!

We're married!

This one doesn't need an explanation. It is just cute.

Well, I think that wraps up the wedding from our point of view. The next one is just 11 days away!

A Perspective

I have already mentioned my "Word of the Day" screen saver that I have on my laptop that is hooked up to the projector in my room. I am learning that the words go in cycles a bit, so the same word will pop up in several classes during the day. Today's popular word was "entitlement." A fantastic word to share with teenagers who often think they are entitled to a whole lot of stuff. In fact, we as humans often think we are entitled to a whole lot of stuff when really we are fallen people who deserve nothing but death. We so often miss how wonderful and blessed our life really is and we get caught up on the little things. This video sort of puts that in perspective in a rather humorous way. I am by no means promoting this comedian, but if you take what he says to heart, it is so true. We live in an amazing world, created by an amazing God. We really should be happy with the blessing we have been given.

The Best Summer of Our Lives by Rachel Hauck

Twenty years ago, the summer of '77 was supposed to be the best summer of Summer Wilde's life. She and her best friends, Spring, Autumn, and Snow--the Four Seasons--had big plans. But those plans never had a chance. After a teenage prank gone awry, the Seasons found themselves on a bus to Tumbleweed, "Nowhere," Oklahoma, to spend eight weeks as camp counselors. All four of them arrived with hidden secrets and buried fears, and the events that unfolded in those two months forever altered their friendships, their lives, and their futures. Now, thirtysomething, Summer is at a crossroads. When her latest girl band leaves her in a motel outside Tulsa, she is forced to face the shadows of her past. Returning to the place where everything changed, she soon learns Tumbleweed is more than a town she never wanted to see again. It's a place for healing, for reconciling the past with the present, and for finally listening to love's voice. This was an enjoyable book to r...

Birthday Fun

It was my birthday on Saturday, so Wilbert asked me what I wanted to do. Since it was nice weather, I decided to have a picnic in the park. We opted for the easy picnic and picked up Subway and headed to the Elliot River Dream Park. It was a lovely day. After our lunch, Wilbert and Joash explored the park. They found musical instruments... played a bit of hide and seek... and tried out the slides. Joash did pretty good in the park, but he is still pretty timid and cautious over all. He never really dared to go down a slide by himself, but he was running around on his own by the end. After we were finished at the park, we stopped for dessert at Cows Ice Cream since we didn't get an ice cream cone we went earlier in the week. It was very tasty! In the evening, we had a bonfire and invited lots of people over. At 5 in the afternoon, we had a crazy thundershower pop up right over us and it rained like crazy. But by 7, the weather was great and once it got dark...
