So Very Blessed

This week is Aaron and Tajas wedding.  As the thundershowers build in the sky every night, we all began to watch the skies and forecasts.  Sixty percent chance the thunderbeings will be in attendance :)  I actually like that idea.  Seems like good Karma to have the Native American equivalent of the Lovers in attendance at a wedding.  I hope they are best friends, lovers and partners.  What mother wouldn't want that for her child?  Every time one of the kids gets married, I reflect on my own. I wonder if I have given my son the tools he needs to be a great man?  I remember all the mistakes I have made and wonder how much therapy will take to reverse my affects?  I hope he is ready for everything that a marriage will bring.  So many people plan the wedding but not the marriage.

 I call my friend Jeremy to inquire about his tent.  Wouldn't want our guests getting wet. The wet spring and high snow pack have given way to flooding  throughout the state.  The park they were supposed to get married at flooded.  I guess someone lost their dog in the rapid run off and we wouldn't want that to be a child.  That would change us all forever.  There is also some concern about the bridge integrity.  So, officially (as of yesterday), we are searching for a new venue four days before the wedding.  I told Taja never fear,  Jeff and I planned our own wedding in six days.  It's gonna be alright :)

They went to her parents and immediately and it was decided their ceremony will be held in the back yard in Paradise.  Hopefully, the park down the street will be available for the Brunch.  Tomorrow they can speak with the lady that rents it for the city.  Cutting it close, but, I found a heads up penny yesterday.  The raised letters captured my eyes.   "In God We Trust" is what it said.

I couldn't do this without help from my family and friends. Everyone is willing to pitch in.  They offer whatever helping hands I need.  From food procurement to the actual cooking and serving.  Flower ideas and table topping.  How do you thank someone properly for selflessly jumping in and making things happen?
