Up Early...

Yesterday my Mom, Dad and I drove down from Charleston here to Long Boat Key, Florida for Kristen's wedding!!! It was an eventful drive and it took us longer than we expected but we made it safely here! We stopped by Publix on the way in and picked up enough groceries for 2 months it seemed like! Then we came back here to the hotel and unpacked while we waited for Rusty to drop Kristen and Miles off. Kristen got here around 6:30 and we went to "The Beach House" for dinner. We ate at the Beach House when we came in January to start looking for places for the wedding and that was the first time we met Rusty's Mom Ms. Denise, his brother Stephen, and Stephen's girlfriend Carissa! Anyway, dinner was fun but a little stressful because Miles had only taken a 10 minute nap the entire day!! So he was fussy and Dad, Mom, and I were on edge because we had been in the car the whole day! But it was still fun! After dinner we just came back to our rooms and unpacked some more, showered, watched a little TV, and then went to sleep! Miles is upstairs with Mom and Dad which is nice because that gives Kristen and I a little alone time before everyone starts coming into town! I'm about to finish this up but I wanted to mention 2 prayer requests that I have. #1 ~ That it will stop raining. The next two days look as if they will be pretty rainy with a 100% chance of rain for today, and an 80% chance for tomorrow. However Friday and Saturday only call for a 40% chance of scattered thunderstorms. STILL, that doesn't seem like the best odds for an on the beach wedding! Please pray that God will steer the rain other directions at least from about 4 p.m. - 7:00p.m. on Saturday!! My 2nd prayer request is for my cousin Elizabeth. She was put in the hospital last Friday because she was having trouble with a stint they had put in her esophagus. (sp?!) She kind of crashed and her blood pressure was 40 over 17 and they couldn't get a steady pulse. That was Saturday. Since then she's improved a little but they still have her on a ventilator. She's breathing a few breaths on her own every minute but not many. They were going to take her off the ventilator yesterday but her oxygen count was low so they postponed it. Please pray for my Aunt Kathy (I just call her Aunt) because she was going to come down here with us yesterday but is delaying because of Elizabeth's health. Please pray that Elizabeth will start breathing a little better and my Aunt will be able to come down here soon. Elizabeth's husband Doug and their daughter Caitlin could also use prayers.

Alright well I'll update later on today! I'm thankful for wireless internet!
:) Praying for sunny weather,
Stephanie
