Gettin' Ready

Yesterday was such a wonderfully fun day.

The kind you just hate to see end.

But today, promises to be the best yet!

I kept starting to cry yesterday when I would have a flash of Autumn's hysterical phone call, the medflight chopper landing as Emma and I pulled in to the hospital parking lot...Autumn's crumpled form sobbing as we waited for Karl to be brought off the helicopter...the color of Karl's skin as they wheeled his unconscious body past us...the days in the coma...the ICU waiting room...

and here he was:

whole, smiling, talking, laughing, hugging....

see for yourself....

so handsome...

so alive....

so in love....

The miracle groom

Karl

{All praise, honor and glory go to Jesus Christ, the healer}

Abigail and Autumn

making the flower arrangements

getting the reception hall ready

pulling petals from the wild flowers for the aisle

rehearsing

{Karl's brother Ryan - best man

Emma - maid of honor}

Three Handsome Ring Bearers

{Autumn had shirts made for them for the rehearsal}

Three gorgeous little flower girls

Now on to the REAL THING
