Laura is making me do this!

Laura said that I had to have a blog. Since she will be moving out in 11 days, I can't refuse her last wish.

I'm KNEE-DEEP in wedding plans. On one hand I'll be glad when it's over. On the other hand, my little girl is leaving home. The fact that she is getting married to someone she loves makes me happy, but I have to admit that I'm a little sad that she will be moving 3 1/2 hours away. She has been my constant companion/friend/sparring partner for almost 22 years. Today I started thinking about her moving away and I kind of lost it.

The thing about the wedding that I am most excited about is seeing her walk down the aisle in her beautiful wedding dress. I know that she will be radiant. The thing about this wedding that will be the hardest for me is when she walks out of her reception. It is then that I will know that she is really moving out.

Every mother dreams about her daughter's wedding, and wants to make it as special as possible. I have had a wonderful time planning the whole thing. I can't believe it's almost here.

It will be a hard day, but you've been a great mother and i'm sure the two of you will only grow closer!

Hi, its Lisa (Prichard)Ries from CHS class of 95. How are you? My husband & I were married in the same month that his younger moved out on his own. My mother in law cried for days, 8 years later, she has turned her boy's rooms into stamping craft rooms... it didnt take long to refill her nest :)
