Four weeks From Now!

Yes, four weeks from now is the week of the wedding! Jon and Miranda will arrive that week, too, so what a time of celebrating that will be! I'm beginning to have butterflies in my tummy - a mixture of excitement and anxiety! I hope to conquer the anxiety and let this whole time be one of anticipation.
This was another extremely busy weekend. On Friday Kevin, Mum and I joined about eight thousand other people at Harbour Station in Saint John for the Gaithers Homecoming Concert. Mum watches the Gaithers on TV, but Kevin and I had no idea what to expect. It actually turned out to be a great experience. I am really glad we went. The music was terrific and the people were great - very funny too. We were surrounded by real fans who knew every word of every song they did! It lasted from 7 till 11 pm, so it was a solid evening of entertainment and worship.
I forgot to say that on Thursday we went to Saint John (Kevin had to go for work) and I bought my dress for the wedding - I love it! It is a pale periwinkle blue, with a satin beaded front and a jacket with satin and bead trim.
Friday and Saturday I spent preparing my talk for Sunday's service, since the layleaders were in charge. It went very well, I am amazed every time I am able to stand before a group and speak. It something I never expected to be able to do, but as I said in my talk, the Holy Spirit enables us to do what we could never do in our own strength!
After church Jen, Rich and Maeve took Kevin and I to the Crown Plaza (Beaverbrook Hotel) for their buffet. What a feast! It was for my birthday, which I just keep celebrating!
Kevin and I went to visit Ralph Brown at his home up past Mactaquac. He is very ill, we are really glad we spent that time with him. It was a beautiful afternoon as we sat on the verandah overlooking the water and talking with Ralph and Dorothy.
Mum had all the family for supper and, for dessert we had - Birthday Cake for me! We hadn't been able to get together before, so again it was a party for me. I'm glad we have excuses to get together, I sure don't see most of my family very often!
Saturday Amy and I ordered the wedding flowers - they are going to be beautiful, I know, everthing pink and white with a touch of sage green.
Sorry I don't have any weekend pictures; it went by so quickly, I didn't stop to photograph the events!
