Well, they've finally gone and done it. Gotten married, I mean.
Such a lovely couple. Such a lovely day. If only we'd all been able to see it!
Luckily, Grandpa and Grandma Green were there on the spot to witness this delightful event (which explains how I managed to obtain some photographs!) and congratulate the newlyweds in person. How we envied them. It was never the plan to be absent from one of the most important events in the lives of our children. But time and circumstances are not in our hands to control, so we must take things as they come.
Our prayers and blessings go to the young couple: May your life together be full of love and laughter, protected by the hand of God, bringing you more joy with every passing year!
NOTE: For those of you who are able, there will be a wedding reception for James and Tabea here in Grand Rapids during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day so that friends and family here in the States can offer their good wishes in person. More details to come!
In other not-nearly-as-exciting-news, we finally got the windshield replaced on the green Subaru so that it can be driven again. The same Safelite guy came out that had come out to fix Deb's car last year and he remembered me (the man with all the Subarus) so we had an excellent chat about cars and families and all sorts of other interesting things. It took him a bit longer than I had anticipated to fix the windshield due to some rust around the windshield frame, but he took care of it with some sealer so hopefully it won't be a problem this winter.
While he worked on the windshield, I worked on the porch to complete the frames for the plastic which I'm using as a wind-block on the west side. The wind drives a lot of rain and snow across the porch which makes things slick during the winter, and I'd like to avoid it as much as possible. So far, it seems to be working.
