Post Labor Day

I spent most of the day at i.q.'s wedding, preparing and working on the flowers with 3 other able helpers. had worked on the fabric the day before so that work would be easier today, and thankfully, the results were quite satisfactory! (: was very encouraged to receive compliments on the decor too! hee... definitely feel more confident now after my debut at wedding flower decor. 

of course, it has also helped me to understand why commercial florists charge the exorbitant rates that they do; almost 50% of that goes to services rendered. by the time i was done putting up the flowers, i was ready to head home and into bed :P 

nevertheless, it was a sweet wedding ceremony, with the chinese-educated pastor bravely taking on the challenge of speaking in english to facilitate the exchange of vows in both languages, to allow all present to understand the ceremony. topped off with the q. serenading i. at the end of the ceremony and i. being carried down the (100m+ long) aisle, what more could one ask for? (: 

at the same time, it's scary to realise that my BIG day is in 2months...   !!!!! 

i think i'm trying to ignore the day i'll hafta say goodbye to the room i spent the last 10years+ in, studying, talking to God, crying, living from when i'm not out of the house. and the serenity of the area i've come to appreciate much despite the inaccessibility. and since i'll be staying at hubby2be's place until our *nest* comes, i'll not move everything over...which probably means most of my books. 

meanwhile, i'm counting down the days till hubby2be returns from the US (mission trip). as you read this, could you intercede: for the ppl he and the band are reaching out to, and for their health, that no harm (H1N1)  nor evil will befall them. thank you!! as of now, more than 70 people have PRC-ed through their ministry in the last 2 weeks! :D
