Karen looked very pretty for her Senior Prom. She graduated from high school and started college at Appalachian. We had three weddings in our family. Susan and Joel got married in May. Mama and Bo got married in July. Newman and I got married in December. We had to make several trips to Hillsborough for the bridemaids' dresses. (A friend's aunt made them.) Once we met at a Walmart to do measurements or something. Karen didn't mind taking care of all this in the Walmart bathroom. I would have died of embarrassment if any stranger had seen an inch of my skin. Mama couldn't believe it. Didn't she make a beautiful maid of honor? Karen sang "My Father's Eyes" in honor of our dad. In the picture, she's enjoying the yummy food she worked very hard in preparing for our reception. I'll never know how much work so many people put into our wedding. This Christmas, we exchanged names for stockings at mama's house. We decided we liked her doing them all better.
"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. 10 For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!" Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
