Mother's Day and Rehearsal Dinner






It seems I write most of my posts on Saturday mornings!  Not sure why, maybe I am a little more reflective on the weekend or have a little more time. Today is a rainy day and I decided to sit/lay back down in the bed and catch up on blogging. 


It's Mothers Day tomorrow and I KNOW I have been blessed in that department.  I have such a wonderful mom who has always made any bad day I'm having much better.  She loves me, supports me yet always has taught me the importance of thinking beyond myself.  I love her so much.  At 78, she is still so much fun to be around.  She tends to think I can do most anything and do it well, even when I really am not very good at it at all!   Everyone needs someone like that in their life!:)  So Happy Mothers Day to my sweet mama!!

This is a picture of my sweet mom with all my children, plus son-in-law at Matt's wedding! 

Speaking of wedding....yes we celebrated Matt and Jessica's wedding two weekends ago.  It was so much fun!  God was so good to give us such a beautiful day.  The wedding was outdoors at BoBrooks Farms and it was wonderful.  The weekend started off with a bridesmaid luncheon at the Turk's home.  The food, which Jessica's mom had prepared was so good.  She is a wonderful cook!  Then after lunch we headed over to Trio's to decorate for rehearsal dinner.  (I need to devote a whole blog post to my dear friends who helped me so much that day!  What would I do without them???)  I (actually my sweet friend Tracy) made really cute table runners for the tables.  The fabric was black, white and green with a geometric design.  Loved it.  We used fresh flowers and candles for centerpieces.  For the head table I had the runners monogramed with an S and T.  I gave the runners to the Turks and Matt and Jessica for gifts after the dinner.  Such a sweet time hearing all the wonderful words that their friends and family had to share about them.  It was a great start to an absolute wonderful wedding weekend. 


 Two shots of the head tables.  I used paper lanterns over the head table to define the space!  They added so much to this area!

 Two of my dearest friends that ALWAYS help me!!  Love them!
