hard to imagine...

...that i could "look so forward" to something and at the same time "dread" that same thing.

that is kinda how my weekend went. a whirlwind of EMOTION.

first on my list was the WEDDING. it was a "family" wedding-tim's side. it was a beautiful wedding (perhaps one of the coolest weddings i have ever been at). it was held in the rotunda at founders hall at the milton hershey school. i have to admit that i got a little choked up when the bride was being escorted down that staircase by her father...something that my girls will never get to experience. but i survived. the girls did great...all smiles and keeping a close eye on their mother. (tim loved all weddings but was so looking forward to this one)

then off to the RECEPTION. very nice. great food. and then they had to go and have that darn father-daughter dance to the same song that ashley and her dad ALWAYS talked about having at her wedding. (i loved her first) i actually had to step outside during that dance...ashley and i were outside and she asked me if i heard that song that was playing...i gave her a big hug and we walked for a bit. i told her that i wasn't sure what we would do at her wedding but that we would have some sort of tribute to her dad and that we would work out all the details then. (i will need some pretty STRONG medication that day)

then to totally top off the day...megan went to PROM. i was very excited and actually did pretty well with all the prom stuff. i think that because meg was so "chill" about the whole prom experience that i didn't get all that emotional. (tim would have been the one a mess for that)

megan looked beautiful. she will probably kill me when she sees this picture but i figure if she can post them on face book i should be able to post just one on my blog...

tonight megan has been invited to attend an "awards" ceremony at the high school. it is one of those "invitation only" events that you have no idea why you are going but you have to dress up and just wait for them to call your name to know why you are there. then next week she has her athletic achievement awards ceremony. BUSY KID!!!

we are SO PROUD of megan and all her accomplishments. notice i still tend to say WE alot but i guess that fits here because he was SO PROUD...that was all he talked about some days...how proud he was to be "the dad of the dewalt girls".

thanks for checking in
