Where is the bride and fire engines!

Goodness! What a weekend! Paul was gone for drill all weekend, so it was me and the kids. We were quite busy with many things going on. Saturday afternoon we headed out to Wilder, Idaho for the wedding I previously talked about. It's about a 45 minute drive from here. Well, the wedding didn't happen! She didn't show up. I'm not sure what happened and I haven't been able to talk to her. There are rumors and such, but I don't know for sure so won't share those here. I did find out that they already married. I do pray that they work out whatever it is and get off to a better start with their marriage and I hope to be able to communicate with her soon. That is the first time I've ever attended a wedding that didn't happen. And it was quite interesting and hard to explain to the kids! If you do think about it, I know most everyone reading probably doesn't know them, but could you say some prayers for the couple? They are quite young but I know with God they could have a marvelous marriage! Since the wedding didn't happen, we were back in Boise earlier that expected. Abby's best friend was dancing in her ballet company's end of year recital that evening. Abby had really wanted to go. So we did. It was beautiful! We knew the two star dancers and many others from our homeschool co-op. Towards the end the fire alarm went off and we all had to leave the building for about 20 minutes. Turns out a little boy pulled the alarm. I was amazed at some of the stuff other people were saying. It was awful. I just remember being a mom of littles and it only takes one second of looking away for something like that to happen! They resumed the ballet and did a great job :) We stopped for dinner with some friends on the way home, had a great time visiting. Had some minor van trouble on the way home, but was able to make it home, figure out what it was and fix it.(It's great to have a son that knows so much about cars when hubby is gone!). Sunday, we got up for church. Sunday school was great. It was neat to see the husbands/dads resolve to lead their families with God. If you haven't ever seen it, go see the movie "Courageous". Church service was also good. We had a special speaker who had held an Intensive Bible study seminar this weekend. I heard the seminar was good. He shared a bit about that and about his travels as a missionary. Very good! After church we went to a friends home for a potluck and fellowship with our marriage sunday school class. While I missed having hubby with me, I did have a good time fellowshipping! I am going to really miss these people! We left the potluck, came home, fixed dinner so it was ready when Paul got home and then spent time getting ready for the new week. This will be our last week of homeschooling for the "school" year :) Abby and I will be attending a bridal shower tonight for another friend getting married next week. We are excited to help Ashley celebrate :) Next weekend we will be going to Twin to visit family and attend Paul's brother's wedding :) Tis the season for weddings! Be Blessed!
