It’s hard to believe we’re at this point now already. Today was a more relaxed day with the tasks winding down. Ethan and I left in the morning to find Laura a wedding gift. They had decided to get each other a gift to exchange that was somewhere between $35-45. Dad and I contributed to ideas. We managed to find everything in one store. After that I picked up pictures at Walgreens and something for lunch at County Market.

Laura moved out of her house yesterday. She’s got her car packed with the rest of their gifts that have still been trickling in since we moved their stuff to Nebraska. On Wednesday her brother called and said he was going in for surgery to get his appendix taken out. Last night he called to say he wasn’t coming to the wedding. We are hoping/praying that he will feel better tomorrow and perhaps change his mind.

My sister arrived with her family around 11PM. Before that Ethan, Laura, her sister, and I went down to the dining hall to practice our dances. She is going to look very beautiful and he will be as equally handsome. The nerves and feels are starting to get to me and I imagine they will start to be getting to more of us soon. The rehearsal is in the morning followed by the meal at the retreat center with the fellowship and slide show.
