    The wedding flowers came to our door on Thursday, two days before the wedding. The bride and groom to be were here, for a wonder, at the moment, as well as his parents. Elv was home, too. To have everyone here was not prearranged by us, but perfect timing by God, I guess.  … Continue reading Flowers For A Wedding

The Wedding was beautiful. The groom handsome, the bride dazzling. More pictures and details later.

    We have been working hard on our up coming wedding. Elv has been faithfully praying with us girls that "things will go smoothly" in reference to our shopping, creating, and planning.

Part One Kitchen Redo    This project has been long anticipated. My family has been very supportive and helpful and patient with me.  So this week we began.   My dreams of white bead board walls are fulfilled in wall paper and paint. Elv listened patiently to my brainstorms and to my delight liked them. He "sacrificed"… Continue reading Kitchen Redo Progress Report
