It was another good day of getting things ready. Laura spent the majority of the time fine tuning the dining hall. There have been three later RSVP’s since she made up her seating chart, so it was decided those names weren’t going to be on the board. I keep thinking of people that I can’t believe we didn’t think to invite. One of the couples I feel like could’ve really hurt somebody’s feelings. There’s no way to get everything perfect.

We tested out the candles and had to remove the tiny pebbles from the tea lights. Something about them suffocated the flame. But once we did that they all shined brightly. Josh, Elianna, and I went to County Market and picked up some lunch. We brought it back and had a lunch break together. It’s was Laura’s dad’s birthday so he went first through the line. Even dads need those special times to be honored.

I was in bed much of the day trying to rest off the fatigue and a nagging sore throat. Dad and the boys fixed the altar in the outdoor chapel which was torn up for the homecoming and had to be put back together. I made a second list with my own fine tuning of the remaining things. Earlier in the morning I finished Ethan’s book which I was grateful to have completed. I’m just grateful for everything and all of the help.
