Beautiful Bride To-Be

They grow up so darned fast. It seems like only yesterday I walked her into her Kindergarten classroom....and now she has met the man with whom she wants to spend the rest of her life. How is this possible??

We walked into the bridal gown showroom. I knew what to expect. I have been inside one or two dress shops in my time. Yes! I think it is safe to say there were MILES of satin. There were many pounds of lace, beads and sequins, too. Amanda put her name on the list to be sure she would have a fitting room where she could try on a few dresses. Amanda's future mother-in-law, Deb was there and so was Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn is going to stand as Amanda's maid of honor.

We started shuffling around the showroom looking for ideas when it hit me! My little Amanda is going to wear a dress like this and be a bride then become a wife! At that point, the tears were unstoppable. Kaitlyn teased me about it, of course.

This was truly a monumental day for me....and for my daughters.
