Friendship bracelets from Morgan"K - I know, I know, you're already trying to think of all the places you can wear these so very versatile Chinese staircase (not to mention fine) pieces of jewelry. Anyway - at camp I was thinking of you and decided to join the girls in making friendship bracelets so I'm just sending you some love from the 'Morgan inside' that is still in 6th grade. Love you - M"
How can you not love these?!? All week - all month - all summer I've been struggling each and everyday with my lack of employment. I have tried everything to get my mind off my worries and look what arrives in the mail. Is she not the best?? I think I'm going to wear them everywhere. I love, love, love that she made them in the wedding colors. I'm impressed she even remembers HOW to make these!! Mo - you totally just made my life. You're the best fake sister a girl could ever hope for.
Along other wedding-related lines, we're currently in the process of perfecting the save the date cards - woohoo! I've been doing some research on where and how to print them, where to get envelopes, compiling Christopher's half of the guest list (or 1/4...) etc. It has been a lot of fun and it's exciting to be marrying a graphic designer who can just "voila!" and make exactly what you want. I love him. :-)
Yesterday we met with the wedding coordinator for the ceremony - this sweet little old lady named Betty. We got a lot of things taken care of and learned more about the rehearsal and who will stand where and do what. She also made it very clear that aisle runners are a HAZARD and I will most likely kill myself. Good to know. There went THAT idea... We are also trying to work something out with regards to our pre-cana lessons. The diocese of Richmond requires that we attend a weekend retreat before receiving the sacrament of marriage. Problem is that 1) it's very expensive, 2) Christopher works weekends, and 3) see the first two. Hopefully we'll be able to take some weekly classes in Fluvanna or something.
Keep the prayers coming - this is the last week of summer before new teachers start orientation and I would really like to secure a job! I've been reading daily devotionals, which have helped, and am trying to trust that God has my best interest in mind -- but yikes it is hard! Time to take a break and stop staring at my e-mail; I've done everything I can.
P.S. Morgan, I love you.
