Finally, finally, my gag order has been lifted –now that I am too busy to share details properly! 🙂 My dear Amanda’s sweet fiance Ben arrived yesterday evening from college. They’ve been engaged since Christmas, and are getting married this Saturday. THIS Saturday! Valentines Day! Less than 48 hours from now!

The Owlhaven is a blur of activity. Today I spent all day decorating at the church (pictures coming!) Part way through the day, mobs of lovely roses came from Costco, and are now waiting in refrigerators for tomorrow morning when we will put together bouquets and boutonnieres and other hopefully lovely creations. We are rank novices at this, but really, how wrong can you go with roses?

I have been enjoying the preparations and the sight of the two of them so happy together and will share more with you very soon!
