Day off

I have off today, and that means I can go about some errands that I've put off over the last 2 days. But first, I'm waiting for the Princess Bride to arise, so that we can go over more wedding details. And so I can show her the sweet little flower girl shoes I found at Payless for $10! (And they had both sizes for her flower girls, in white - unsual for this time of year.) I am so thankful to the Lord. I've been praying over this wedding since I found out about it. And one thing after another is falling into place, affordably. All that's left is -

• Bridal shower, but that is under way
• The rehearsal dinner, but we do have loose plans in place
• Centerpieces for the reception tables
• Church decorations
• Flower girl baskets
• Ring bearer pillow

I'll probably find the last two items on ebay, as I did the flower girl dresses.

Sarah's dress is now being hemmed and bustled. I can't wait to see her in it! Praveen will wear an Indian outfit, and Noah's will be very similar to his. The groomsmen will wear tuxedos, but I'm not sure of the style. Praveen and Sarah's best friend, Adele's husband, Cameron, are working on them.

We sent the invitations out a couple weeks ago, and have gotten some responses. Here are some pictures:

My mother-in-law, Sarah, and I are going to see Rebekah in her musical this weekend. I can't wait, especially as she has two solos! Josh took the train to see her last weekend, which really meant a lot to her. They spent the weekend together, pal-ing around. She told me her friends really liked him.

I'm really looking forward to having the whole family together for Thanksgiving. Josh will stay on til Jauary 3rd. He's taking a train home and back. He seems to like this method of travel, mainly because he can bring more stuff along, cheaper. I feel sorry for him though, as he'll spend 17-18 hours in a coach seat. (I have urged him to walk around every few hours, to prevent blood clots.) He and I checked out getting him a bunk on a train, and found that the cheapest one was $350. That's on top of the $300 to take the train, round trip. Oh well, he's young, and doesn't seem to mind. I imagine he's got him nose in a book the whole time.
