Beautiful...

This is Miranda placing Dustin's ring on his finger. So far, it's the only photo I have, and I'm so grateful to my sister for having sent it to me. You can see how happy they are.

It was a beautiful day in every way. And, as I can't, at this moment, describe it all without getting all teary-eyed, I'll share a funny moment.

Prior to the processional, it was "the plan" for Dustin to escort each of his grandmothers to their seats at the front of the church prior to walking me in with Marv and the little boys behind us. While he was seating Marv's mom, it became apparent that Bjorn might not cooperate with the plan, so Marv opted to take him and down the side aisle and wait for Mathias and me to join him in the front pew. Then, as Mathias and I were standing waiting, he got antsy, too, and thus, I motioned for Cameron, a groomsman, to slip him down the side aisle to join Grandpa and Bjorn. That left me standing there alone waiting for Dusty to come back and escort me down the aisle. He, however, had disappeared, having gone to join the pastor. Yes, that's right, he forgot his mother. With that, the wedding coordinator sent an usher down the opposite side aisle to fetch up Dusty. He responded quickly and as he passed my family mouthed the words, "I forgot Mom," with the cutest darned grin on his face. Neither the kids being ushered down the side aisle nor my later-than-planned entrance was anything noticed by the majority of the guests, even though I felt as if I'd been standing there waiting a long time. While we both thought it was kind of funny, he apologized. Not to worry, I told him. This is one of the stories we'll laugh about in 20 years. Little does he know that I'll be holding the fact that he stood me up over his head for 20 years, too. LOL.

As for today, I kind of feel like I'm stunned - tired and not quite ready to jump right back my regular routine ... whatever that was. Tomorrow, however, I'm going back to work with nothing more than work on my mind, and when I come home I'm going to sit down in my corner and see how the mojo flows. I'm also going to catch up with all of you on your blogs. In the meanwhile, thank you for all of your kind wishes. They mean the world to me. Later ...
