I can't believe it's been a week since we got back from our long weekend trip to Missouri for our niece's wedding.
Here are some photos.
They love each other very much and it's a beautiful things to see.
I feel as if I hardly slowed down last week. The morning after we got home, I had and early appointment with my naturopath. Then I had the girls for school and our last day of co-op for this semester. We had small group on Wednesday, and I designed the table decor for our church's annual Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday. We decorated the tables yesterday after church, then rather than going to the dinner, Tim and Wes ended up having to drive a few hours to pick up Rachel and haul their car home! Monday I had the girls, which I don't normally do, but Nate wanted to work because he's off on Thursday.
Tim and I went to dinner with friends to celebrate our friend Denny's birthday!
Can things slow down now?!!!
I'm not really complaining. I'm happy to be able to be involved with people and our family. It's what life is all about.
I have my turkey thawing for Wednesday night when I will put it in the oven to slow roast overnight! {Here}is the link to Perfect Every Time Turkey. I got this slow roasted method from Emilie Barnes. She mentored me through her books. She was a kindred spirit!
I need to think through what I want to do to decorate the tables. We use two! I have a few ideas perking, and I think they will be nice!
We usually eat around 2:00pm. I'm trying to think of things to occupy little girls who likely will need to stay indoors due to cold weather!
I'm thinking maybe a movie, and maybe some art. Games for the adults, definitely.
I can hardly wait for Friday! Time for decorating for Christmas!
God does rejoice over us with singing and he made us for his purposes and his glory! What a wonderful thing!

It is wonderful that you were able to travel for your niece's wedding! Such a joyful occasion! I love weddings!
Whew. Life is busy here too. I know that it is a season, but it stretches me, a confirmed homebody. But there is so much to be grateful for! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
I too love the old buildings being used as venues. This is exactly what my grandson and his lovely wife did a few years ago...They had a destination wedding but the reception was held after they returned and was in an old building. This is a lovely couple and I wish for them the very best for which God has planned. You are certainly a busy lady...Will be excited to see your tree....Happy Tuesday.
Enjoyed your post, Deanna. Beautiful photos of the wedding you attended. And now you're preparing for Thanksgiving. You mentioned Emilie Barnes being a mentor to you - I met her (in books) too late in my life for her to mentor me but I still found her a lovely writer. I have one of her tea books given to me by a long ago friend that I still cherish - "If Teacups Could Talk". Lovely thought by Sarah Bessey. Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your loved ones.
What a lovely wedding, the venue is gorgeous. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family! Enjoy your meal and your decorating! Tis the season!!
