Changes and chances

Well, now I'm Mrs. Harm. The wedding was unbelievable. It seemed like everyone had a lovely time. And that is really all I wanted. It was just great. We had some minor mishaps like me losing my veil and the song I recorded for B won't play.

But a lovely start to our marriage. I hope it is like our wedding... full of laughs, little tears and much happiness. So far so good. Only 51 weeks and 69 years to go : D

Carnival did such a good job. I think it helped that they had so much experience. I really didn't have much to worry about. At some point I will get the pictures from the disposable cameras scanned in so you all can see.

Apparently we've started on the sickness and health part of the marriage. B has a bit of a cold. I got him like 20 cans of chicken noodle soup so he is all good. While getting the soup, I got approached in the parking lot by a woman. She wanted money. I don't normally do money. So I offered to get her something to eat. I never know exactly how to handle these situations. I want to help but it is so hard to know whether it is helping or not. I went and got her a sandwich, warm sides, fruit cup, chocolate bar and drink. I figure it would be a lot so maybe more than just a meal. I stopped at a store across the way and saw her walking across the lot. No bag. I wondered.

I always feel that my kind intentions are God working through me. Or maybe just God working on me. A masterpiece in the making. I mean the most beautiful statue starts off as a rough block of stone. I figure if I hadn't actually helped, maybe the purpose of it was to set an example for someone else to help.

Good day and be kind.

The Giant Chicken Heart that Ate Cleveland Wedding

The kitties are going to be in the autograph frame which will take the place of a guest book.

Things are almost ready. I started packing the things for the reception last night. At this point, I think that the marriage excites me more than the wedding. Although it is a close second. I have tried not to be too crazy. I have tried not to put too much on any one person. I want this wedding to be like us.... fun and thoughtful.

And I must admit having to save up all that time for my work leave has me very much wanting a break. I ended up taking half days with this horrible cold that seems to have gone on forever. I am ready for a vacation.

But all the trappings aside, I am ready to become a wife. B's wife in fact. I am so excited about this life that we are starting together. I have this incredible joy when being with him. And it is all I could have asked for.

I prayed so often for someone to love me as much as I loved him and for someone to understand me and my every so quirkiness and he does. I always thought God was saying no to my prayers. I should have listened harder. He was saying "Not yet." Amen.

Good night and congrats C. on your daughter, J. I hope your dad feels better soon, M and B, I'll keeping praying,... the things that have been put on hold for joy.
