What a great weekend! The weather was perfect and the events of the weekend, namely my daughter's shower...was FANTASTIC! I am trying to get the pic's ... so I can upload them here, just might take a day or two. The groom's mom took pics thruout, so she is sending me copies.
We had a luncheon, hosted in the home of a great friend. (she has a beautiful, large home, with plenty of room.) There were about 28 of us, and it was just so special to me to be w/ my only daughter on such a lovely day!
But it has started the clock ticking...
Youngest son's HS graduation is in two weeks. Then he heads off to England on a Missions Trip.
Middle son graduates from his medic program in the middle of June.
Then the girl gets married at the end of June.
AAAAGGGGHHHH!
Then vacation for mom and dad in the beginning of July ;)
I planned a mixed menu for the luncheon w/ about 80% low carb items, and 20% treats/starches mixed in. I did thoroughly enjoy the enormous white choc covered strawberry as 'my' dessert... while others were having cake. I don't particularly even like cake, so I got a flavor I don't enjoy at all... and it wasn't even tempting. (but my daughter loved it...and that's all that mattered to me!)
We had grilled steak tips w/ a beautiful salad, and roasted asparagus on the grill, along w/ an egg/potatoe salad, and homemade bread. (I skipped the bread...but loved the smells in the house).
Anywho... Yesterday after church was a great day of rest. And today is a beautiful morning to get back into the swing of things. Heading off to the gym soon - or perhaps an outdoor walk...it's just so beautiful out, weather wise!
Hope you are all doing well. Feeling so much better... these Paul McKenna materials are really helping my disposition! That...and prayer! I needed to turn my attitudes around, and I feel I have successfully done that since last week.
Don't dwell in the low places... pick yourself up, and if you have to ...start over! But do something!!!!
Much Love.

So glad to hear you and your daughter had a great weekend. Everything sounds lovely. I love this new attitude. So nice to see you happy. And don't worry about the kids growing older, no matter how old all kids get that can't get enough of their mother ;) Have a great Monday.

Sounds like an AMAZING weekend, Paula, and what a litany of AMAZING events to follow. I imagine you'll be on a high until August. LOL. Is your youngest son going to miss his sister's wedding?

Sounds like life is good right now but so busy. And so many changes. Son away on a mission trip soon and daughter leaving home soon. Sigh. That will be hard. Glad you have a vacation planned, you will need it. also glad that you have found something to put you back on track. Wishing you success and luck in the stressful joyful weeks ahead.
