Having family in so many places, all across the country, has definitely made planning this wedding pretty interesting for us and the other bridal festivities have been no different. How do you get everyone together from East to West to North to South to witness the nuptials? And THEN how do you get them together AGAIN for all of the other stuff? You ask very nicely, I guess.
As the RSVPs have come in, we have felt so lucky to see how many people want to share this special day with us and as I'm getting ready to land and I start thinking about all of the women I'm going to see in a few hours I'm feeling lucky again.
Just to name a few... My mom, who has managed to pull everything together seamlessly. My two beautiful sisters, who have been ultra-helpful. My future mother-in-law who is traveling all the way from AZ and then BACK to Chicago with me for next weekend's other bridal shower tea. Michele and Dee, two women who love my family as if it were their own and who we all love in turn. And my girlfriends, many of whom I haven't seen in two years but remain as close as before I moved. Good friends.
And so, I'll say it again: I am lucky. And I know that. I think that, when you've got good stuff in your life, it's important to recognize it. And be thankful.
What are YOU thankful for?
