Wedding fever

Robert and I were running errands the other day and happened to drive past the chapel where the kiddo is getting married in April. We stopped just to look around, and the guy in charge invited us inside to see everything. It's so lovely -- all glass and in a woodsy garden setting. It'll be beautiful in April.

I'm really looking forward to the wedding, though it's hard to believe that the little boy who drove everyone nuts is old enough and grown up enough to get married. What really brought it home was a few days ago when I suddenly realized that we're no longer going to be his PNOKs -- primary next of kin in military talk. (Now we'll be SNOKs -- secondary.)

It doesn't seem so long ago that he came home from his first day of day care with two black eyes . . . or when he got transferred from one kindergarten class to another for calling the teacher a sh*thead (she was, but truth wasn't much of a defense). The kid was on a first-name basis with the prinicpal of every school he went to -- and we moved a lot. He had a lot of personality, my sister used to say.

But now he's all grown up and he's getting married. It's hard to believe, but I can't wait to see it for myself! Rachel10:25 AM
