During Lindsay's visit in February (we had a great time - if you need to reread all we did, just go back and see the Archives) - we had a family dinner - Stefanie and Aaron came for dinner and over desert Aaron told us how much he loved Stefanie and that he had asked her to marry him. She said yes! We asked how soon they would like to get married, they said Leap Year Day - I said I needed a little more time. So they gave me a few more weeks and decided March 24 ,2012 would be the perfect day - 28 days later!!! During that time - Derek, Carrie and Jack came for a much anticipated vacation to Edisto - we couldn't wait for them to arrive. We (Jack and I) walked and talked to God every morning - while all others sleep in - Jack and I loved the special time together - Edisto is beautiful in the morning. We had great family time and so enjoyed Jack joining Dan for coffee and muffins in bed after our morning walks. Nothing like a vacuum to get all the crumbs ! Derek and Dan hung a swing in the special tree that we had always planned to hang a swing for Jack and he did end up loving it. We rented a bike with a bike seat for Jack and he can tell you all about the roads that needs repair on Edisto. It was so much fun having them here and can't believe how time flies - they were here for a week and it was way to short. During this visit my dear friends here on Edisto thought that while Stefanie's sister in law (Carrie) was here, that they would plan a surprise bridal shower for Stefanie - unbelievable! Such amazing women - it was great fun - see the weebly tab for shower pictures! The girls (Stefanie, Carrie and me) also shot "clays" and the boys fished and, and, and, and.......
Derek and Carrie and Jack left and the Burdicks (Don and Marti) arrived later that day and boy did we pack a lot in a short few days. We rode bikes, walked the beach, played golf, saw the dolphins and just enjoyed sharing a few stories from the past. It was great fun, and can't wait for them to come back for the 5th time in a year!!! We just loved all the help they gave both Dan and I. They left and it was just a few short days before my friend Margaret (Stefanie and Julie aunt) arrived for a girlfriend week-end (well that was the plan - but that turned out to be Stefanie and Aaron's wedding week-end) It has been crazy and so very busy - I plan to tell you all about the wedding the next time I write - maybe tomorrow. Tonight I am happy to put up my feet and get a good night sleep - Dan has Chemo tomorrow - he will post his treatment news - all good stuff - tomorrow also. But before I put my head on the pillow tonight - I wish you all great love and the time to enjoy it!
