On Friday, one of
my most most favorite people on the planet got married, and I got to be her
matron of honor. I had my toast for the reception all typed up in my pocket and
ready to read, but at the end of the night, I realized that the moment had
slipped everyone's mind, including mine. So I quietly tip toed to the bridal suite, and tucked my toast
in the bride's makeup bag, because I wanted her to know how much her friendship
means to me. When we were all packing up to leave, she found it early, read it,
and we had a good hug and cry/snort filled laugh about it. I love you, Grainger! I'm toasting you now!
I have known
Kristin for 8 years, since we were both new, 2nd grade teachers with
single wide trailers for classrooms. Over the years, we’ve
shared a lot of laughter, a lot of intense episodes of Desperate Housewives, and a ridiculous number of sarcastic comments.
We have been together through births, baptisms, grade level changes, and break
ups. I am so excited that God has finally blessed Kristin with a great man, a
man who makes her laugh often and often until she snorts. I’m
grateful that he’s a man
who may not be perfect but who is absolutely perfect for her. May you both be
as happy in your next fifty years together as you are today. I love you and
congratulations.
