THREE DAYS AND COUNTING by Emma Knox

I just got a text from Jordan Warner, the girl I met in Memphis. She was teasing a little about the wedding.

“Just in case you’re not thinking about it, you’re getting married! Three days to go before your wedding day!”

Today, Thursday, and Friday!

She’s going to be in Nashville for a different wedding, but I sorta think she would have come to mine otherwise. She’s a really friendly person, and her boyfriend, Carter, is nice, too, of course.

Well, about the wedding, Noah and Kent took off with the Civic this morning. Everyone else is pretty excited for the trip.

Liza said this will be the longest trip she’s ever taken and her first time on an airplane. I told her it wasn’t but last fall when I flew for the first time. That seemed to help her feel better about the trip.

So, Noah and Kent plan to stop somewhere between New York and Memphis and buy a few things. Just a little break in the long drive. Noah said he’d get an air mattress at some point, and I said I’d look for some linens for it.

That’s what I’m doing now.

It might seem like a weird thing for me to do, but I don’t want to just sit around for three days staring at the walls. I’ve already packed everything I can, and I definitely got room for a pack of sheets.

That’s about all I got to talk about now. I guess there’s a lot going on in my head, but I’m not sure I can put the ideas into words that would mean much to you.

So, I’ll close this one. Thanks for reading my story!

Here’s a little verse I saw yesterday:

Psalm 103:13—”As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;” (NIV)

By now you may have surmised that Emma and Noah are moving into the River City Connections storyline. After the wedding, they won't be included in Crossroads, but until then, I'll keep them in both.

WEEKEND PLANS by Cindi Curtis Allen

Where should I begin? What a wonderful weekend Michael and I had with the couple from New York! I’ll start there.

Last fall, Jordan met a man named Merritt and introduced him to Michael. Merritt ended up moving to New York, but he has friends who are getting married and moving to the Memphis area.

Last week, I went out to Eads with Jordan to look at a house that they ended up leasing.

Over the weekend, Merritt and his girlfriend, Hannah, visited with Michael and me several times. They were easy to get along with, smart, and interesting to talk to. It was a great weekend, and we are all hoping for another visit sometime in the future.

Next, I should mention that Hayes and Roman’s wedding is Saturday. Here’s a new little twist—call it serendipity. Michael has a client in Nashville, where the wedding is being held. They called yesterday and asked if Michael could come up to meet a new member of the PR team.

“When would you like to do that?” Michael asked.

They suggested this Friday. So, I’m taking Friday off (mostly—I’ll have my laptop and be on call for any disasters!), and we’re going up on Thursday night. I’ll just stay at the hotel while he has his meeting, and then he and I will go out Friday afternoon and…

Honestly the “and” depends on how I’m handling the departure from my normally, safe world! I’m hoping to go see the sights!

Maybe not the noisy, busy areas, but Nashville has some great parks and the Cumberland River is right there, too. So, I’m sure we can find some things to do to fill the afternoon.

Then, Saturday is the wedding. I’m sure you’ll get to see a little of that!

That’s all for today. I’ll leave you with this:

Lamentations 3:22-23—"Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." (NIV)
