wedding plans out of a bottle

This is a follow-up to yesterday's blog post about our reason for going to Germany next week.  It would be a long story to repeat, and, rather than re-hash all of it from the beginning, let me direct you to my old post, "the note-in-the-bottle story" from June 17, 2008... Then, after you read that, please come back here.  The link:  the note-in-the-bottle story.  It's a cool story.

And the follow-up to that story?  Jana, now 22, is getting married next week, on the 19th, and she wants us to be there.  I'm not a big fan of weddings, especially one all in German, but I do celebrate our friendship with Jana and her family.

Today's date?...It's 10.11.12, in case you hadn't noticed.  This afternoon at 1:14, military time, it will be 10.11.12.13:14.  Fifteen seconds into that minute it will be 10.11.12.13:14:15.  Thanks, Mary O. and Todd N., for this important newsflash.
