Her Dream Is Coming True

All Autumn ever wanted, from the time she was bite-sized was to be married and have babies.  I remember living in Virginia Beach {while Dw was in seminary} and she had just turned two years old and would ask me daily if we could go to the mall to look at the pregnant ladies.  Daily.  Not.kidding.  And since the mall was nearby, we would often go and walk the mall in search of big bellies.  She was fascinated by them.

Yes, indeed, getting married and having babies was her dream.  And when Autumn's dream was almost snuffed out last July 17th, it was you bloggy friends, who rallied to pray.  Rallied to intercede.  Rallied to fast for Karl.

As the BIG WEDDING approaches, you will hear me thank you guys over and over for all you did to stand with us for Karl's healing.   When he was in the coma, seriously friends, your support was incredible.  We can not ever thank you enough.

Anyway, as the miracle event of our personal world approaches, I just knew you would love to see the beaming bride...the girl who is finally realizing her lifelong dream....

 Her bridal shower was while we were in Colorado last week.  Autumny was so tickled to have five of her sisters there and her mommy {as she calls me, how sweet is that?}.  Emmy is her maid-of-honor....and the evening was such a wonderful blessing, hosted by Vicki's Bible study ladies....

Autumn is a hot-pink-zebra-lovin' chica...

always has been.
