MARRIED

Bob and Bethany are now officially married! We had some things happen. Jon's tuxedo jacket wasn't ready until 2 hours before the wedding....It was supposed to be ready 2 days before. The jacket was 2 inches to small! The place was not being very cooperative. Ed went there and had them order the jacket to be delivered in VA. The flowers (roses) were 2 hours late and also started to fall apart as soon as they arrived.
The wedding was beautiful though. I can't wait to show everyone the pictures. They are a beautiful couple.
We are having fun here in VA and I will write later.

Getting Ready

We've been getting ready for Bob's wedding (In Virginia) next week. I have been getting suits, ties, etc. Our dresses will be picked up on Saturday. Becca's dress is black, below the knee. Mine is a tea length wine color, and the little girls have floral. The 2 little ones are not in the wedding only Becca, Jon and Ben. Ed will be wearing a black suit and a tie with the colors wine and black in it. Tom's tie has not been bought yet. It's hard to find a tie for an 11 year old. They are all the same ties for that age. boring. He wants it to match his dad's. To bad I can't cut down a man's tie. I have no idea how I would do that.
Trying to find off white frilly socks for the girls has not been easy. I can't find them anywhere so I bought light pink socks. Hopefully that will look ok.
Becca is still trying to get her school work done. She has her evaluation the middle of June so we will see if she will need an extension or not. She has not been feeling well and has a hard time getting up in the morning. Her doctor's appt. is June 4th.
Tom past his 180 days but I haven't told him. He can still do a little school work every day. It won't kill him. ~smile~
Tom, Katie, and Ana will be doing the Awana Pinewood Derby tomorrow. They are really excited.

Well, I'm done for now. Have a great day.

Happenings



Ed and I were away this weekend. By ourselves! We traveled to S.C. to see our son and soon to be daughter- in -law graduate from Bob Jones University. They are so happy! Bob has a job down there and they found an apartment. Bethany went home with her parents but the wedding is at the end of the month so they will see each other soon.

Becca will be seeing a Neuro-Ophthalmologist at CHOP in the beginning of June. She will be evaluated for Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.
Jon is graduating from 2 year college in less than 2 weeks. Right now he has a job doing security and he also does some work with Ed.

Ben is almost finished school for the year. He will then be a senior in high school!

Maybe I'll write later. School work needs to be done on the computer.

Have a great day.
