Yesterday we traveled up to Appleton to be with Alissa at her first Wedding dress fitting. The dress fit her to T except for the length. She is going to be a beautiful bride! She was willing to let my mom, myself, and Mallory join her and Courtney in this special moment. After the fitting we headed over to the Fox Valley Mall. My mom and I went off to find wedding shoes for her while the girls took off to do some fun shopping. When we met again to enjoy large Cinnabons and milks we all agreed that the shopping trip was successful for all of us. We headed back to Oshkosh to visit and to play some frisbee disk golf. (Just as a side note, I am the champ at this game!)
The weather turned on us later in the afternoon. Alissa and Nathan drove through torrential rains and flooding on their way home to Milwaukee. The entire city of Milwaukee was flooded with cars in three foot water in some places. We drove home through some heavy rain but luckily had missed the worst of it. At some point between Juneau and Watertown on County M the water was running across the road! In the midst of this scary weather, we did see God's promise in the form of a beautiful rainbow which stretched across the entire sky. It was a reminder of all God had done and continues to do for us! God is Good.
Our basement has water and John is down there now turning on the fans. Let the mopping begin. We are used to it and it always dries up eventually!
My message of the day to Tizita Desta: We talked about you so often yesterday. Mallory decorated your magnet walls in your playroom. Auntie Alissa and Uncle Nathan brought you so many nice toys including a water table, a cabbage patch doll that licks ice cream, and a pink lawnmower that blows bubbles. They also bought you a swimming suit, two polos, and a swimming cover up. Such cute things! Now we just need you here with us so we can see you in the clothes and play with the toys with you!
I wonder if you will be here for Alissa's wedding or will you arrive shortly thereafter. I know it will all work out in God's perfect timing as all things always do. I just am so anxious to meet you.
