Inspired by my dear friend Allison, I took up the challenge to take a photo each day in 2011 to document my life. I embarked on this with some trepidation (I was not sure I would remember to take a picture every day), and with some curiosity: I didn't have a plan for this project and I was excited to see how it would evolve. What would my life look like, day by day, throughout one year?

Well, one year on, I am addicted to this project. I already took a lot of photos of my children but I have loved the way the 365 challenge has disciplined me to think about and appreciate EVERY SINGLE day - and the precious moments in every day that in the past have flown by unnoticed... I am thrilled to continue with this blog in 2012 - although it really should be retitled: Day by Day 366! Looking forward to a new year...

Day 5: Dress fitting

Some things are planned long in advance, other things are unexpected. A sweet girl at our church asked David yesterday (Wednesday) to marry her and her fiance this Sunday. So, unexpectedly, I am helping to organize a wedding in four days! It is pretty exciting - and incredibly moving to see our church community jump right in to pull this off. Two wonderful ladies offered to lend their wedding dresses, another two ladies will do hair and make-up, another is getting flowers, another bringing the cake. I think the bridesmaid will wear the dress I wore as maid of honor for my sister's wedding. I took this picture this afternoon in my living room as Kamoera tried on the borrowed dress for the first time.
