I awoke at 4:50 am but made myself stay in bed until the coffee was just about done. After downing one full cup I went first out to the horses to check on Aiken. We had a storm come through last night that dumped an inch and a half of rain. The paddocks were muddy but the horses were all fine. From there I took the golf cart over to the new barn to put away the dishes I washed yesterday. I could see the mares and foals grazing in the mare pasture from the barn kitchen window.

Braelyn's Graduation
The temperature dropped during the night and it was downright cold this morning. I went over to the barn early to finish the laundry, make the bed, fold towels and wash dishes, getting done just before our walk. We stopped in at mom's just as mom was ready to walk to the table for breakfast.

Blessed and Highly Favored
Sunday morning, today was filled with anticipation as we were expecting lots of company in Peoria today. By 6:00 am I had 2 crockpots of lasagna cooking before going out to check Aiken. Her due date was yesterday but her udder is telling me she is not yet ready to deliver. It was filled more than yesterday so she is making progress. Mark and I drove separate to church today as he had an errand he needed to do right after church. Brant Rushton from Gridley had the morning message. Click HERE to listen to that. Bonnie Bach served lunch today, a very delicious lunch with plenty for everyone. This afternoon was the wedding of Hannah and Corey and Hannah's dad Tim had the afternoon message while Craig married them. Click HERE to watch that. After the wedding I drove home and met up with Mark then we went to the reception together. That was amazing. I tried to snap a picture of Hannah and Corey but there were always too many people around but Hannah was a beautiful bride and Corey was happy.
