Frustrations

Right now I am just so frustrated! I really thought that communication with Lacey would be easier than it is. I talked to her today and had to call her three or four times during our conversation because the line kept dropping. That means that I had to dial eleven numbers and wait for the calling card lady to tell me how much money I have on my card and then instruct me to dial the other fifteen numbers which would be her phone number and then wait while someone told me to "please hold" at least three or four different times - then I had to wait on the phone to ring and Lacey to answer. At some point she told me that she had sent me and email - two days or so ago - and asked if I had received it -the answer is NO! So my email is somewhere in cyber space and I keep checking to see if I am ever going to get it. On top of all of that - I sent her a suitcase full of stuff from home only to find out the B&BW soap had opened and spilled all over everything in the suitcase which had been ripped open by someone or something at the airport. I was so sad that I had not packed the soap in zip lock bags, to which she said with a laugh, "Well, live and learn". I think they recovered a lot of the stuff because I had packed a lot of the other stuff in zip lock bags. It was just frustrating.

Last Wedding for a While

Amanda Miller got married last week! I must say, the wedding was a flood of emotions for me that I didn't expect. First of all, Amanda was wearing the same wedding dress that Kelly wore in her wedding. She was beautiful! And so happy!! All of Lacey's girls were beautiful, too. They each were wearing a "citrus" green tea length skirt and had each chosen different coordinating tops. It was so interesting, waiting to see what the next bridesmaid was wearing. There were eight bridesmaids. Mollie sang and one of Jack's friends sang - both were excellently done and very moving. As Amanda left the church building on her new husband's arm, she let out a "whoop" that we could hear back in the church house! The reception had very good food with cheesecake for the groom's table. Amanda sang a song to Jack with Mollie backing her up and playing guitar. There were a lot of personality dynamics there - people you would be surprised to find in the same place - but all was good. It was a celebration for which everyone has been waiting. I wish Lacey could have been there!

Jennifer getting ready for her wedding

I just realized that I dont' have a "finished product" picture of Jenn or of Jenn and Kyle. When I get one - I will post it.
