Wedding Day

    After two failed marriages I had finally found my prince and charming and he had found his princess. He was going to make me his Queen and become the King of our little home and family. It's early morning March 5, 2011 and my mom and sister are once again waiting on me. Things where hectic that day as there where several things that came up and people who where supposed to be and had a role in the wedding where not going to be showing up. In fact a lot of people who RSVP'D where not going to be there. I was more nervous then I had ever been before in my life and I am sure Daniel was too. We got most of our pictures done and then I went back and gathered myself, probably could've use a drink at that moment. Our Pastor Scott Miller came in to tell me it was time and give me my last chance to back out without running our or freezing up at the alter and even though it came to mind(joking) I gathered my flowers and went to meet my dad. I almost cried when I saw his face, as he walked me down the asile(for the frst time by the way) he started to cry and I almost lost it. When we meet my husband at the front of the church I tried to act as though it was just us in the room but my nerves took the best of me and from that moment on I couldnt smile I couldd barley talk and I was shaking. I couldnt wait to get the servic over so that I could relax and have fun. Finally its time to enjoy the food that my inlaws and parents prepaired and the cake made by a friend from the church and the pastors wife Wanda Miller. I knew something was up because I nor my husband had asked anyone to give a speech and there was my sister giving a speech and talking about my torepedos. Thats an inside family joke, but then she pulled out my brothers Lemuels boot(hardest moment in the day) as she explains the fact that they wanted to surprise us with a night away and where going to ask everyone to donate what they could and explained the significance of the boot(my brother died Feb.17th,2009) I really about lost it. After this we did the whole flower toss and garter and then I was ready to call it a night and I am pretty sure my husband was too, after all this night had extra special meaning for him, he was truely the one and had waited for this night all his life. We said our goodbyes and left town for the night and came to Wichita to a nice hotel at K96 and Webb we checked in and changed and left for a Movie at the Warren Old Town, best choice by far. We ordered some food and he a coke and I wanted this awesome adult cherry limeade and I got 32oz of it for mabye 4 bucks I think might have been cheaper or a little more. Needless to say Daniel drank most of it as for some reason it was trying to play tricks on my stomach. We tried to stay for the whole movie but it had been a long day so we got in the car and made a run for the hotel. The next morning we slept in then went and enjoyed a nice breakfast and checked out, then we did a few errands and headed home to the kids. We really wanted to enjoy the next few days as  family and get things set up for Daniels deployment and on that list was another trip to Wichita to get me enrolled in DEERS and to ask about housing. We accepted a house that day and were told we couldnt mv in until the 17th of March. From this day on it was about packing and having fun with the kids and family.  Time was soon approching where we wold have to say "see ya soon." We dont say goodbye in this family because goodbye is so permenate.
