Get ready, baby!

Five years ago this morning, John and I were getting ready for our wedding rehearsal. We had a rehearsal breakfast instead of a rehearsal dinner, which I blogged about last year at this time. I promised I'd post pictures from that and I never did, so here's a few.

l-r: Mommy, Neelka (my sfam), me, Martha (my sis), Kim (my sil)

(sfam= sister from another mother)

In addition to being a rehearsal, we also had a time of praise and worship and had a time where people prayed over us, and gave us individual blessings, charges and prophecies. It was incredibly special. I was looking through our pictures to find a good one to show how awesome it was and it seems I have a very weird worship face. I look like I'm in pain. I'm really not. I don't have to worry about anyone ever using me on the cover of their worship CD, that's for sure! Anyway, so this is the only picture of us that I have from that time that you can't see my crazy pain-for-Jesus look. Also, I had gotten spray tanned the day before and it hadn't quite faded yet, so I have an orange tint in most of the pics!

Speaking of pictures.

Today, five years later, we're going to get another very special picture. This time I don't have to worry about my hair, makeup or weird expressions.

This is the day we get our first picture of our Baby Blueberry! (!!!!!)

This weekend, we're taking a little local vacation, so I probably won't get a chance to post it until Sunday. Please do try to breathe and find something else to think about in the meantime.

PS. We took Boy D to be with his aunt and uncle Thursday. It was a joyous and smooth transition for them, but his parents seemed to be pretty shaken up. I believe they're all a journey to a better future for Boy D.
