Lord of the Rings

Today I got to have two phone dates, first with one of my bridesmaids and oldest childhood friend, who lives in Colorado and also my sister, who lives in Texas!  Mind you, both of these women live far away and unfortunately, we do not get to see each other as often as we would like.  However, it’s days like today when even a short call helps me remember why they are so important to me.  Even when the calls, letters and texts are infrequent (we are all busy folks), it’s as if no time at all has passed and we can catch up, without missing a beat.

When I called my sister I had (unbeknownst to her) ulterior motives than just the typical what’s new conversation.  I was hoping that she would be as excited as I was, when I asked her if her son, my nephew, would be the ring bearer in our wedding!  I wasn’t disappointed!  It’s so much fun to be able to surround ourselves with our loved ones for our special day.  Even though it sometimes seems like our wedding date is (too) far away, it brings such joy and what seems like eager anticipation of our wedding day by our family and friends that it has a snowball effect of excitement that just continues to builds for us.  

And so now we have a little Lord of the Rings to add to our wedding party.  I can’t wait to dress him up in something precious and see his cute little smiling face on our wedding day!
