Congratulations!!!

Mike and I were so excited when we received a call from his niece, Terri, last weekend. Terri and her boyfriend, Todd, had traveled down to the Keys to get married. They decided to stop by and stay the night with us on their way back home. It was great having them come stay with us.

They shared their whole two week experience with us, and let me say, I would have given up on the trip after the first disaster. Yet, they persevered through a lot and they enjoyed every bit of their honeymoon trip. It opened my eyes to just how impatient I am in things, when they don't work out my way.

I can't name everything that went wrong but I will name the major ones that stood out the most.

1. They broke down on their way to the Keys, on the Seven Mile Bridge, at the top of the part that allows the boats to pass under. (If you have been there, you know how horrifying that is!!!)YIKES...
2. The breakdown caused them to be late to their own wedding ceremony on the beach at sunset, so all their pictures are in the dark.
3. They got evacuated because of Hurricane Ike.
4. They were camping in a tent for two weeks, with a lot of rainy days.
5. Their boat broke down while out on the water.

Need I list anymore!
They were awesome;they had a blast and looked at it as more memories to share. It was great having them, but we wish is was longer than just one night. We are so proud of Terri and excited for her new life with her husband, Todd. We pray the very best for them.

By the way, they called us when they got home to North Carolina the next night and Terri told me that they got a flat tire on their truck pulling their boat that day. I am glad they made it home.
