38 Weeks!

38 weeks today!  What can I say-I am READY.  Josh is too.  Just thinking thoughts of relaxation, opening, stretching, thinning-all the lovely sensations that lead to LABOR!  In my heart, I know Harper will come in her own time, when SHE is ready.  But whenever that is, so are we!

In other news, I made it through the beautiful Thompson wedding!  Yay!  A big landmark I had been looking forward to, and SO glad I was able to be there, participate, and have fun!  The whole wedding was beautiful.  Very true to Devon's style--vintage decor with a lock and key theme, "The Keys to Marriage".  I read a poem during the ceremony called "The Key to Love."  So fitting, and very sweet.  Here are the words:

"The key to love is understanding ...
The ability to comprehend not only the spoken word,
but those unspoken gestures,
the little things that say so much by themselves.

The key to love is sharing ...
Facing your good fortunes as well as the bad, together;
both conquering problems, forever searching for ways
to intensify your happiness.

The key to love is giving ...
without thought of return,
but with the hope of just a simple smile,
and by giving in but never giving up.

The key to love is respect ...
realizing that you are two separate people, with different ideas;
that you don't belong to each other,
that you belong with each other, and share a mutual bond.

The key to love is inside us all ...
It takes time and patience to unlock all the ingredients
that will take you to its threshold;
it is the continual learning process that demands a lot of work ...
but the rewards are more than worth the effort ...
and that is the key to love."

I held it together, and didn't even cry!  Go me :-D
Here are some pics from the wonderful weekend:
