So after agonizing about a wedding I've decided (and Mike agreed) that we will not have a public ceremony. We will have us, our girls and my pastor, and possibly my parents attending, along with a friend who will take photos. With selling 2 houses, buying one house, helping with my parents 50th anniversary celebration, school, a job and two teenagers, I've decided I don't need the stress of a wedding. I had a huge, over the top wedding the first time so I don't need that again. My church will only hold about 225 comfortably and since I've been active in my church for so many years I know just about everyone, would feel I need to invite all of them, plus all of my friends, Mike's friends, friends we share, my family, etc. we'd have to leave some people out which would be hard, so this is just so much easier. Plus, with the money we'll save we can afford a nice honeymoon later in the year.
Speaking of selling homes, we signed the paperwork with the realtor today. Our houses are in the affordable range (less than $200,000) which is still a really good market here so hopefully they will sell with little trouble. We've looked at several homes on the internet and will start looking this Friday. All very exciting!
And speaking of exciting: Chelsea got her learner's permit on Thursday. She drives really well for being so new at it. Now to get her enrolled in driver's ed!
Well, I have a paper to write that is due tomorrow so I'd better get on with it!

I had to laugh . . . when Bob and I got married, I wanted to have a nice church wedding. Then I started thinking about how much hassle it was going to be and how much it was going to cost and we did the same thing . . . just us and a witness. We used the money for our honeymoon. So, are you talking about a date in the near future?
