I'm a Catholic homeschooling mama of seven kids. Four are adults now, and living at various stages of life out of the house. Two of my adult daughters are getting married this year. Here's where I'll be hanging out my laundry, gaining perspective, and, down the road, have something to remember all the wooshing days.

aflutter with bride like things (NOT)

So the bride, who in most circumstances, would be doing a lot of bride like things right now, like - I don't know what.  Shopping for shoes, making hair appointments...

is doing nothing of the sort.  She's directing a play that opens next week.  If you live near me, you can come, too.  I, personally am going to opening night with my family.

So in some cases, pre-wedding busy-ness looks more like bossing actors around.

Directorzilla.  I'm guessing.

But it keeps the jitters away...

Almost exactly two years ago...

I started this blog.  I kept it bookmarked, knowing there was another daughter of marriageable age.  Well.  It's a good thing I did.

She gets married April 22nd to a man that we love and have every confidence in their happiness.

She glows.

Alice has suffered much in her life, and more than anything, she deserves to rest in the deep peace of love and being loved.

Just six years ago,  I wrote this, with her permission.  She has come so far.  All the work she has done, all the praying and fasting has not been in vain.

All that worrying, Lord.  Was in vain.
