New Beginnings

Today my baby girl got engaged and I am choosing to start a blog.  New beginnings!  I hope to post weekly on a new (to me) recipe I've tried out, a sewing project I am working on, or a variety of other interests in my life - hence Pots, Pins and Potpourri.  Some of those other interests will include books I am reading, health changes I am making, insights into Christian living and marriage, and life's happenings.

Like today.  I had an inkling that the engagement was to happen in the near future.  He asked her atop the Sears Tower in Chicago - how cool is that!  I am happy for her.  She has searched for a long time to find her Mr. Right (she had to muddle through a few Mr. Wrongs first).  Yet, she is my 32-year old baby girl.  It seems so final - she is almost not mine anymore.  Then I remember, she never was to begin with.  She has always belonged to God first; He lent her to me to raise her.  I am excited to plan a wedding and sad to say goodbye to that chapter of my life.

Hmmm, there might be a few posts here about wedding planning . . .

My future son-in-law is a carpenter; he made her rings!

So sweeet!
