One way or another.....

I'm gonna find ya...I'm gonna get cha, gonna get cha-get cha-get cha.... To borrow a quip from Blondie's Song from ...oh I think....1977?
LOL at the moment.
Final week before the wedding.
My daughter shows up (late again ;) to walk through the set up at the park for her marriage. Bob and Sharon, who happen to be the worlds most wonderful roommates (Marty is in Korea for now so he has taken a back seat), are doing the set up. Bob and Sharon also spent all day Saturday cleaning the house so that it would be decent for the following weekend. I am talking they cleaned carpets, furniture, dusted, swept the tile, washed, cleaned the kitchen....EVERYTHING! I was upstairs sewing on the sleeves for Amanda's dress. Bob was so kind in bringing me coffee while Sharon was running up and down the stairs at each of my cries for "what do you think about this?"

Then I have to go to work at 4 to midnight each day this weekend. It is hurricane city for our offices in Orlando. Means that Tech support in Dallas takes over the roles that these people do for our customers. This means I do not have a weekend to finish up what I NEED to do for the wedding.
Nothing like what we are accustomed to doing. So far everyone is safe and the learning curve is progressing to an even level line.
WHEW

Next week is going to be entertaining to say the LEAST!
I did get to see that Amanda has all her plans written down and diagrams ready. Jason, the proud brother of the bride, is going to be in the wedding ceremony as a groomsmen! Relatives will arrive(bless them all for staying in hotels) soon. The night before the wedding day will entail a rehearsal dinner and then the bridesmaids to my home for manicures, pedicures, and henna painting.
Whew again.
Amanda is staying the night with me while Jordan stays at his parents home. Last time our children will be separated into individual families. This was something Amanda and Jordan decided to do.
I have a 'semi-sorta-clearly-undefined avenue of what to expect to happen' for the wedding day.
ROTFLMAO

This is gonna be fun!
I am really proud at how the kids have pulled this together.
Very little money input from the family. It is amazing to see what they go through in their life. All to demonstrate that there is a commitment that is so deep within them that there is a wish to share this event with all they love.

So, in keeping with the title....

Jordan...I think (by Jove) you got her!

Dang I just admire these children/young adults/married couple to be/life partners!

Next question:
When do Sally and I get to be Grandmothers?

Care to place a bet?
