I'm so excited because.....

My sister Melissa gets married ONE MONTH FROM TODAY!!

OMG I get another brother-in-law! I am pumped. Although I've never met Jake except for a few Skype chats, I think he's gonna be a great hubby for my sister. Wow that sounds so weird. Aren't they just as cute as all get out? (I've heard that all get out is really something, hence the comparison) Check out their wedding website: http://weddings.theknot.com/pwp/pwp2/view/MemberPage.aspx?coupleid=5174784490155557&pid=2712317

Life is changing. Holly just finished her college internship and is now a Child Life Specialist applying for jobs. Melissa is getting married! Not much is happening for Mike and me, we're just carrying on with life, trying to not get run over in the process!

This Christmas we'll have 2 married couples visiting my parents house. So far, it looks like the newlyweds will get Melissa's old room, and we'll be out on the sofa bed. But if I'm only able to make it to TX once a year to see my family, personally I don't care where I sleep. Just so I'm there with my family. And it will be fun to watch Jake observe the Emerson family Christmas traditions for the first time. Funnier because Mike is starting to catch on....

So anyway back to the wedding. Mike and I will be leaving on Thursday 9/24 for Savannah, GA where Jake & Melissa live, and also where they will be getting married. On top of that, we're staying an extra 3 days for our vacation! Good thing they live in a vacation spot! This will be my first wedding as a "Matron of Honor" and it makes me feel so experienced and old! Haha! Mike and I are SO in need of a vacation, so we are really looking forward to this.

Until then, we have to keep our noses to the grindstone and keep praying that God gives us patience! I have a feeling that this fall is going to fly!
