My deepest and sincerest apologies to all who have shared in the adventures of our Beehive. Life has indeed been busy planning a wedding – Not Just One – BUT TWO!!!!! Yes indeed you read correctly. You see shortly after my last post I was able to take a small personal vacation to visit some special friends and upon my return (within an hour of my arrival home and not even having had a chance to take a shower) a certain young man had gathered all of my family about him (and my Princess Bee) with only myself being in the dark and got down on one knee and asked for my daughter’s hand in marriage. I really didn’t believe it at first because of all the prior teasing about the subject and the fact that he was wearing an orange T-shirt saying ‘I’m probably lying’ that I had told him ‘NOT’ to wear if indeed he ever ‘Really’ proposed. But indeed the ring box held a very beautiful and very real diamond ring and Princess Bee did happily consent and gave him a kiss. I have been told that the ‘shocked’ look on my face when I realized it was ‘the real thing’ was priceless. (The orange t-shirt has been thus confiscated by Mistress Bee and now is archived in a shadow box to hang forever on their future home’s wall as a remembrance of the occasion along with photo’s – see I’ll show him not to listen...lol ).
The weddings are only a week apart Dec 29th for Mr. Green Bee and his lovely Cinderella Bee (Their colors are white, red and green with a Christmas theme) and Jan. 4th for Princess Bee and Prince Bee Charming (Their colors are white, lavender and turquoise with a butterfly and teddy bear theme). And my future Son-in-Law’s Sister is getting married the day before my son’s, so two families now have two weddings within a week of one another. Yes they are all planning to be temple weddings and we are all joyful for this fact. Princess Bee and Prince Bee Charming are even going to have their reception in the same church building that Master Drone and I had our reception 27 yrs ago and where Master Drone was baptized.
So Mistress Bee is sewing a wedding dress, table toppers, skirts and more. Ordering Tuxes, ties, announcements, and planning a luncheon. Trying to get sleep, be supportive, homeschool…lol, and generally trying to stay sane in spite of the fact that although I am gaining two new awesome people into our family, I am also having to ‘cut the apron strings’ and try to let go and hoping that I have done enough to prepare them for the journey that lies ahead. And did someone have to remind me that there are a couple more holidays that need squeezing into the next couple of months too…*sigh*.
Master Drone is busy working on the roof (we now have patio and awning) so it can be foamed so that perhaps soon (whatever defines soon in his mind..lol) we will finally be able to finish the new bedroom and my clutter will finally get organized and find a place to call home so that the spirit can dwell better here in the house. But don’t worry there will always be another project I am sure…landscaping the backyard is next!!!!
So you see I have very little time for the computer and blogging (my email box has 122 messages unread as of this moment and I’m having a guilt trip for my lack of journaling) with everything going on and beg forgiveness from all of you who have touched my life with your love and support, uplifting comments and encouragement. I beg forgiveness that I am not as much a part of your lives as I once was and hope that you will understand. May you all Bee Blessed and know that you are thought of and in my prayers, for God is indeed Good and has shown me his love not only personally but through my relationships here at HSB. I don’t know when I’ll have a chance to update again but please know how much you each are appreciated in my heart.
Buzzing Off………………..Sincerely, A Very Busy Mistress Bee
