The plan; get braced this is simple but big!

So, here's the big plan.  Tomorrow I will drive to OKC and meet Lee after he finishes his real estate class.  We'll go to the court house and get a marriage license.  Then on Saturday we'll stand before his preacher and get married.  His brother and sister-in-law will stand up with us.  That's it.  Quick and simple.  We're ready.  All of a sudden it seemed really dumb to be waiting when we know we want to share our lives.  I've been announcing this to folks all day and answering responses.  I'm sure glad we're doing it the simple way.  Man, why anyone ever wants a big wedding I'll just never understand.  I'm so all about simplicity!  In the last year I've lost 9 people who I loved and only three were not surprises.  Even Lee's preacher was going to marry us at 10:30 Saturday morning, but he had a relative pass away and he had to change our wedding to 5, so he could do the service for his relative.  It's just so obvious that life is short and uncertain.  When you know you want to spend time with someone, there is no sense in wasting time, especially at our age!  We pray for a partner and when the partner appears we believe we should say thanks!  THANKS!

I will stay the next week with Lee and we'll be working to sell some of his stuff on Craig's list.  Then Friday and Saturday we will go to his 50th high school reunion.  Then we'll begin to bring some of his stuff to Hobart where we will live.  I need to thin out a bunch of my stuff to make room for his stuff.  Ugh; STUFF!  I hope I never collect another piece of stuff!

Well, I didn't get this posted in time for it to really be today, but it's the post for Thursday, August 16.  Thank you all for your love and support and I thank God for all of you and for Lee.
