Monica's Weddin'

Ever since Monica and Glenn stayed at our house on their way to Rapid City, Max has been enthralled with "Monica's Weddin". As soon as he is strapped into his carseat, he says "We're goin' to Monica's Weddin!" and he has to deal with a big letdown every time we say "That's not until next week, honey. We're just going to the store."

Finally, today at breakfast, when Max told me that we're going to Monica's wedding, I was able to say, "Not today, but we're leaving TOMORROW!" Oh, the excitement! We're doing some last-minute shopping and packing tonight (who'd have thought black kids socks would be so hard to find??) and when Paul gets home tomorrow, we're off!

I think Max is most excited about the chance to wear his new "dancing" shoes- he will probably be a permanent fixture on the dance floor during the reception. As for me, I can't wait to watch beautiful Monica float down the aisle and stand with her groom as they promise to love and honor one another all the days of their lives. Anyone got some waterproof mascara I can borrow?

We are so ready to officially welcome Uncle Glenn into the family!
