i am such a sap. i cry at everything nowadays. i just got back from my cousins wedding in Indiana. it was beautiful. they are such a sweet couple. i cried thru the whole wedding. the church ( i was baptized there as a newborn baby just 25 years ago, what?) was beautiful, the wedding party ( my brother wore his army suit... made me cry just looking at him) the bride, the vows, the exit, the entrance to the reception, the speech, the dance... cry, cry cry. it may have been me just missing my girls, or that just being in Indiana makes me emotional. it makes me miss my grandma, it makes me wish i could see my grandparents more often. so many memories come flooding back as we drive around seeing old friends, places, houses. the hospital where my first 2 babies were born. or it could be my sisters upcoming wedding. or that Nattie caught the bouquet. or that my dress was too tight, cutting of circulation...
during our family blitz game, my grandpa was delighted that he had finally (after9 years) come across an Arizona quarter, therefore completing his United States quarter collection. and who gave it to him? his granddaughter visiting from Arizona! (my sister) a proud moment...
