Gang's All Here

 Dan arrived home early this morning from Hawaii,
Matt, Jax & Lucy arrived late last night from Oregon, 

Morgan will be sleeping over tonight 

and Jeremy arrives tomorrow. 

And then the gang will all be here!

24 people staying here this weekend and plenty of room for all! 

Someone asked me if I was stressed with all the shoes and devices lying around, 

pantry full to the brim, and wedding prep on top of it. But I'm not at all! It's fun! 

Michelle's done all the wedding prep and we just get to enjoy!

We run the dishwasher probably three times a day and its a trick to keep finding space in the fridge, 

but everyone pitches in to make breakfast and lunches, and dinners were planned ahead of time and catered (Beaumont for Newlywed Shower, Food Truck at the picnic tonight, 

wedding tomorrow and who knows what we'll dream up for Sunday?!) 

It makes a difference that we're not trying to juggle my kids lives and driving to activities/school/Christmas at the same time like in the old days. 

Michelle and I had a morning flower run to Trader Joes for centerpieces for the BBQ at the park tonight (extended Paul family and out-of-town guests) and a few other little errands, and I enjoyed tagging along and just getting to be together for a bit.

She'd hired Bruges waffles & frites food truck for dinner and we all had the best evening hanging out with family and getting to know so many of the Paul friends that we'd heard about for YEARS!

We're having trouble with the photos shared file, so hopefully I'll be able to add photos soon!

... Found one!
