All's Well

All is well on the home front! Anyway-- as far as I know we're all ok. Nathanael finally got to go to Bro. Thomas Reed's church in Chicago. He was excited to go- he hasn't been able to go for different reasons. I'm glad to know he desires to be in a good church and misses it when he can't get there. Pray for him- base life is not so hot-well- at least most of the other shipmates are anything but upstanding sailors!
Aaron is working his tail off. I don't know how people stand working out in the heat all day! UGH! He may be changing jobs- we don't know yet.
Hannah and Andy are doing fine. Getting the house together is proving to be an enjoyable experience. Andy's family had painted the house so she only had to do the sponging. It has turned out really well and everyone likes it. It's inspiring some of the family to think about some redecorating! They still have some work to do in the kitchen and I guess it's going to be really nice.
Tom and I are ok. Life keeps moving on and we're trying to keep up!
Hope life is being good to you!

New Addess

The Newlyweds are now at home at:

Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Heintzelman
9317 SE 20th St.
Webster, FL 33597

They arrived home Friday and had to get the trailer full of their stuff unloaded. Now Hannah can get to work making her and Andy's home. She's excited!
Have a great day!

A few more pictures not everyone will get to see

Cooperation!

My computer decided to cooperate today so I posted a few pics from the wedding and also some smaller ones of the events at our house in preparation for Hannah's departure! There are a lot more pics, but I don't have access to all of them yet. I'll probably post some later- ones we didn't all get to see.
I think I'm pretty well done with returns, however, I still have to finish all the cleanup and disposal of stuff! Who said the wedding was over!
Seriously, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Hannah was happy with it all and it was very much so a portrait of who Hannah is. Andy-while he is much more laid back and simple, enjoyed it too, and thought it was all very nice. I'll be anxious to see their home when she gets done with it. I'm sure it will be very nice. Maybe a bunch of us could just take a trip down for a tour when she gets it done!? Sounds good to me!
Now- fro the pics. We had a good time with Andy's family although there wasn;t much time to just kick back and talk. They are a great family.

Wedding

Hannah and Andy had a beautiful day for a wedding and everything went very well. I think everyone enjoyed the day. They arrived safely at the cabin in TN. and I know they'll have a great time there! I'm missing her a lot already. I wonder how my mom felt when I left for FL.? 24 years ago I was staying with Andy's family and they were helping me prepare for our wedding! I went down about a week or so before the wedding. Everyone and Fl. was all new to me. Thankfully, Hannah has friends and family there. As for pics, my computer is experiencing some difficulty. I'll try again later.

6 Days and counting!

Ok, the list is getting pretty well done! Andy's family is on their way and plan to be in Weds. Andy and his aunt Esther will fly in Weds. eve. Marriage license will be gotten early Thurs. morn., dress picked up and taken to the church, church decorated Thurs. afternoon, food taken to my sister for HER to prepare!Let's see--then there's Fri.--we plan to have the reception room done BEFORE rehearsal, rehearsal dinner at 5:30, rehearsal started by 6:30-6:45 and hopefully done with rehearsal by 9 or so! Oh, the best laid plans of mice and men!! Nathanael will be flying in Fri. and gets to stay till Sun. Oh! hey! my bedroom is even cleaned!! Hannah is pretty well all packed up and ready to go, so--now--what will I do with all the stuff when it's all over? Hmmmm. Good question! Anyway- that's what is happening here. Just busy, busy. We do hope to be able to sit down and relax a bit before the wedding. I think if it all goes as planned we'll be able to. I can't believe it yet. It's really here and Hannah is going to be a married woman in just 6 days! Tom and I are so thankful for Andrew. He's a wonderful young man who we believe will be a great husband, provider and leader. Next post will most likely be after the big day!
