Time

This past weekend, my sister got married.  The wedding was beautiful and magical.  But as I was watching the whole thing unfold, I looked at Derek.  I realized that VERY shortly, I will be the mother of the groom.  Not a very glamorous title. (unlike mother of the bride). Derek made a few comments about what he will have at his reception and how he will do things.  I laughed.  I explained to him that weddings are about the "bride" and that sometimes the groom is just along for the ride.

As the wedding was wrapping up, I thought about what type of mother-in-law I will be, only having one child.

I always tease Derek I want dozens of grandchildren... but I will be happy with what I get and will love them with all my heart.  I think that I will make a GREAT!! grandmother. And I really hope Derek gives my granddaughters - the clothes, dresses, hairpretties, the shoes, purses...I could go on and on.

Basketball in the driveway

A few nights ago, Derek and I were in the driveway shooting some hoops.  We spent quite a bit of time out there just talking and shooting.  Nothing major...just realizing how little time I have left.
