Wedding Shower!

I know this is a little late since the wedding is this weekend...

But better late than never, right?

:)

~All the food had chocolate in it, the fellowship was wonderful, and yes... Breanna and I got a little silly! ;)~

Thank you to Mrs. Arnold and Dree for hosting the shower!

A week from today...

You will be married!

I am so glad for the years I have had you, and you are not only my biological sister, but my sister by heart!

There are times (like right now) when I am so happy you're my sister,

To put it simply, I don't just love you... I really like you!

I can always count on you for support and encouragement...

And sure, we've had our disagreements... who hasn't? ;)

Life just wouldn't be the same without a sister like you!

I love you very much, and I know I will miss you.

 We have had so much going on lately that I am just going to put it all into one post instead of separate posts for each event! ;)

~I have had the privilege of chaperoning Reid and Emmy a few times, and stopping at Dairy Queen and sitting next to the lake afterwards are favorites with me!~

~ Getting all the rental violins ready for the school year at Plum Grove Strings.~

~We were able to go spend a few hours with the Nymeyers at a nearby park.~

~We are having a fundraiser for the Bourbonnais fire department at our church, and last Sunday night they (the fire department) showed up after the service, so everyone could meet them and see their equipment! (Very fascinating)~

That's all for now! Have a wonderful week!
