"The Wedding"

On July 24th, 2010, our youngest daughter was married to a fabulous guy! It was the most beautiful wedding I have ever been to, but keep in mind it was our daughters:)Between us and our neighbors and friends and the grooms family, we all worked very hard to make our couples dreams come true. The hall was decorated beautifully, the park where they were married was amazing and the weather gods were on our side. Our bride and her attendants were breath taking (again I am the mom) and the groom and his attendants were sooo handsome. Our little flower girl was the cutest ever! I had a few moments that day as a mother does but I got through everything pretty good. Our MC was excellent, our caterer 2nd to none, photographers amazing as well as our candid photographers, also great, and the speeches at the wedding were awesome. I enjoyed all the times I spent with my girls and the groom leading up to this day planning and organizing this day and will be a little sad its over. The grooms parents were awesome to work with and I'd wish this for any family joining forces through marriage to have such cooperation. I had so much fun at this wedding and my only regret is that I did not have more time to visit with everyone. We were truely blessed and happy to share this day with all of our family and friends and we wish the newly wed couple a lifetime of happiness, friendship and LOVE!

Getting Ready For The Wedding

Why? Do we? Get so wound up leading up to a wedding? I have to remember to breath! I have to remember I have to stay calm for others! I have to remember so many things that I am forgetting to breath which in turns means I am not staying calm for others ---I will sit myself down later and give me a good stern talking to, I must not get wound up. Actually when I take a look at my list we have much accomplished and I am looking forward to having a son after all these years. I'm thinking its going to be kind of cool, especially when his parents have done all the hard work raising him to be the fine young man that he is today:)I feel better just chatting about that and I have loved every minute and trip about that I have taken with my daughter (thats getting married) and her sisters leading up to this day and they have made some awesome decisions, I think it will come together nicely!

School Reunion

I had the pleasure of attending my 30th school reunion as of late. I have made it to my 10, 20 and now 30th and I enjoyed this one the most but arrived late and missed out on a few people. Its amazing what the years of experience do for you, couldn't we have just been so much better if we would have had the confidence then that we have today---all in due time though. I realize that we value each other and care about each other, our fellow class mates. We were luckey to have been raised in the era that we were, a privleged lot in many ways. Its interesting to see how many do not change a bit except for the odd character line from lifes experience and and how others change immensley. Over all it was a good experience and I'm glad to have been included in the day. Cheers to another 30 years!!!
