Meetings and Meetings...

WOW, what a week. The week started out with a baby shower for my step-sister Terra on Sunday. She is having a little girl in October. This is her first and we are so excited for her.

Then Tuesday Jeff and I went to the church to meet with the minister and the music director to coordinate the wedding ceremony. I was nervous to figure out what we were going to have them play before, during and after the ceremony. Music is such a huge part of my life and Jeff's too, so we wanted a variety of stuff to be played. The music director is amazing, she can play anything and really helped us with the type of songs we were looking for. After about thirty to forty-five minutes and a bunch of wonderful songs, Jeff and I got the music picked out for the ceremony and we love it. Then it was off to meet with the minister. He is really great, a humble man who says that nobody is there to hear him speak, so his words will be short...can you believe that a minister who doesn't want to give a long sermon at the ceremony, AMEN! He spoke with us about the "vision" we saw for the ceremony, how we wanted things to be worded and to let us know that this is about us. He said that he is there to help us, but this is our commitment with God and to each other, so it should be what we want...not anyone else. We agreed. We are having an amazing song that will be sung by Sarah and a very unique reading done by Laura. The minister thought they were great and approved of them both. Jeff and I were very happy to have that hurdle crossed off our list.
