The Dress

Today as Savannah, the littles, and I

watched the Royal Wedding,

I couldn't help but become more and more excited

for 'Our Royal Wedding' one week from tomorrow!!!

WOW!!!

Savannah and I both LOVED the quote~

"every wedding is a royal wedding with the bride and groom

as king and queen of creation,

making a new life together so that life can flow through them into the future."

And then there was the dress!!!

The big girls have always kind of laughed about my wedding dress~

probably the neckline and sleeves...

but as Kate stepped out of her car this morning

and we were able to see her gorgeous dress!!!~

it really took me back to June 21st, 1986

and to my gorgeous dress "handmade"

(every single appliqué, bead, and piece of lace) by Ms. Retha

from a photo I found in a bride magazine.

I see a resemblance ~ do you???

And just look at my Prince Charming. :)

So as we begin the last week count down,

I am thinking back to our wedding

and our 25th anniversary we will celebrate in June.

A lot of reflecting and embracing going on here!!!

AND!!!!!

All my data (photos) on my crashed external hard drive WAS recovered

and is being sent UPS TODAY!!!

YAY!!!

You can be sure as soon as it arrives,

I WILL be backing it up online and to DVDs as well.

Won't ever make that mistake again!!! Whew!
