Well I finally have a new stepmom! Daddy and Wanda got married yesterday! It was a beautiful hot Kentucky Island day with a high of about 96 degrees ~ and it was so humid!!

Daddy and Wanda had a full house for the wedding with friends and family surrounding them. It was such a great day. We also had time to talk to each other's families and share about our Mom and their Dad that had passed on. Both families openingly talk about our love for our parents ~ it is wonderful that none of us have to tiptoe around one another!!

The reception was held at our church. I have been going to that church all my life. We had a fellowship hall full along with 3 other rooms in the church. A great friend of our, Kaye M., made the cake for us and was up baking all night the night before ~ it was the freshest wedding cake that I have ever tasted. They were also given so many gifts!! I am so glad that they had a great day! They also had a surprise ending with a limo (supplied by the people that Wanda had worked for over the years)that took them to Nashville to the hotel. They stayed overnight and flew out this morning for Canada to Niagria Falls.

It has been a rough last couple of days for me. I couldn't wear my shoes because my feet were so swollen from being on the run for so many days, but I wore white houseshoes! My color in the pictures is sorta gray looking and I look so swollen, so needless to say, I hope they keep my picture kept away!! As soon as I can I will post a link where you can see the wedding pictures if you are interested!!

Just wanted to share with my "other" family!!
 
congrats on new family members :sunny: hope this is a great time for new ventures
 
:sunny: That sounds like a wonderful wedding. It's so nice when family have good reason to be happy for each other. I'm sure your family didn't care what you looked like or what you wore as long as you were able to attend.
 
Tammy, I am so happy for your Dad. It's wonderful to see that both families are getting along.

Best wishes to the Bride and Groom.

I hope you didn't over due things and that you are feeling much better.!

Exactly!!! That you were there was all that mattered to them, I'm sure!!!

CONGRATS to your Daddy and Wanda :cheers:

And you take care of yourself wench - we need you too!!! :love:

More like the Grinch the last few days. I am so tired and just worn out ~ need some :sleepy:, but it seems like my children have decided that I can stay up for days and live :cussing: I had to go to the OB/GYN this morning and I almost fell asleep waiting for him to come into the room :laughing: That is really bad!!!
 
Oh, and I forgot, if you would like to look at some of the pictures from the wedding go to

www.pixeliteonline.com ~look under the last topic something and weddings ~ Charles and Wanda Durham.

Don't laugh at me ~ I am one of the ones in the dark purple dresses. The really big one!! The other is my older sister, Karen. The one's in the lighter color dresses are my new sisters, Karen and Paula. We had so much fun practicing for the wedding. My new step-Mom threatened to tape mine and Paula's mouths shut :laughing:

By the way, on page 2 is a picture of me, Daddy and Wanda, and my husband, Jimmie and my kids, Travis, Caitlyn and Ashelyn!
 
How wonderful that everyone has been accepted with open arms. My stepmother ended all family ties between family when she married my father. Then what do you know, my mother remarried and showed us how it was supposed to be done!!!!!!!!!! With everyone behaving like grown ups and truly showing concern for each person. Leave it to a mom! I am so proud to hear that you guys got it right!!!!!!!!! :sunny:
 
Oh oh oh, I'm am so excited. I went to the link and looked at your photos. I am so glad you posted them. They are just great. You guys look so happy. It reminded me of my home church too. Nothing feels like home till your at the church where the older women still remember changing your diaper (and don't mind talking about it to your own kids) What a great looking family.
 
Thanks so much! One of the neatest things if that my older sister went to school with Wanda's oldest daughter, and I went to school with Wanda's youngest daughter.

It has just seemed like everything has fell into place. It has been a happy time when when it could have turned into a nightmare.

I still miss my Momma so much, but she told all of us to understand that if anything happened to her that Daddy was going to need help. She wasn't worried to much about me and Karen, but Pam would have been against this from the beginning. I sure wish she could have been here though ~ I miss her too!!

We have been through so much sorrow in the last two years, so it was wonderful to have a happy day :sunny:
 
Hi, Tammy :wave:

What a beautiful family, beautiful wedding and beautiful day! Your church looks brand new, and perfect for photos. The bride and groom couldn't look happier, so that must make you all feel extra good too. Are you sure that's Jimmie in your family photo? He looks like a boy! I just love your family photo. :)

And now, super mom, and super daughter, will you please get some rest! Stay off those feet.

Thanks for sharing, Tammy! :love:
 
Yeah, he does! He barely looks 20! Believe it or not, I don't really look that old most of the time. I think it has to do with good family genes and a (pretty) clean living! My nieces are the two girls toward the bottom of the page. They are so pretty!! My nephew is at the top with the little boy in there. I am really proud of my family. I just wish that some of the fluid and stuff that I have been retaining would go away. Doc says it won't until my kidneys get up to full function. Makes me worry what is going on in my body :scratch:

About 4 more weeks until I go back now!! Getting ready to go to :sleepy:
 
I'm interested in seeing your pix. And huge
