Blogging is Just Not Happening for The MOB

My doctor always asks me every single time I see him "What do you think about the whole time you're running?" He thinks its so boring.  Well I usually have lots to think about and blog about but for the past 10 months all I have been thinking about is weddings, but of course,  I'm the mother of the bride, The MOB.

I've enjoyed every minute of being the MOB!  All my  MOB duties and long bubble baths looking at Brides magazine have gotten me through this long icy winter.  I've had so much fun planning with my daughters, Esther, the bride and Andrea, the maid of honour.  I'm very thankful for my daughters for being so patient with me.  I must admit I might have gotten a little obnoxious at times.  Everyday when I got home from work I'd ask Esther, did you pick anything new today, has anything come in the mail today?  Or if Esther and Andrea were looking at the computer together and said - "That's nice", I'd say "what what what let me see let me see".

The day I went with Esther and all her bridesmaids to look for her wedding dress was such a special day for me.  She looked sooo beautiful but the best part for me was seeing how Andrea and Esther were together.  The way Andrea helped Esther in the change room put on her dress and was so excited for her little sister.  It reminded me of when she was so excited to have a baby sister and took care of her.

Then there was the day I went shopping with them for my dress.  It was at the same bridal store and this time it was my turn to come out and stand on a stage,  except this was a smaller MOB stage.  I looked down at my girls looking at me and telling me it looked really nice and suddenly I just felt so blessed.  It hit me that those 2 beautiful creatures sitting there looking up at me were MY daughters. My beautiful grown up daughters.  It was a special moment I will never forget.

This week I went into Esther's room to put something away.  The floor was covered in her crap as usual but I stopped a minute to look at the crap.  There was the usual remnants of a McDonald's meal that her and Jesse, her fiance, had shared, games not put away that they had played and a lot of wedding stuff and decorations.  All of a sudden I broke down crying.  Along with all the fun wedding stuff comes the part where she is leaving.  I love that messy room!

Esther loved dress up clothes especially this Cinderella dress, she practically lived in it. Her wedding dress is "The Cinderella" dress from the Disney dress line.  She didn't do this on purpose we just realized it when we saw this picture.
