June 2012

It is already June! The newlyweds have almost been married for one month. Where does the time go! The wedding went off without a hitch--well there was one hitch--Sarah and Tyler. The day flew by and everything went as planned. So much time went in to get ready for the big day and then it was over in a flash. Thanks to all the friend and relatives who helped to make the day special for Sarah and Tyler. It was truly an incredible event.

Updates--The Wedding

 

Wish there were more hours in the day--hours outside of work time that is. The wedding plans are moving along, but I feel a little bit behind. I had my first online dress fitting on Sunday. That was interesting. Nikki was in Denver to see Michelle. I sent a "sample" dress with her and we got on Google+ and had a little video conference. It was pretty interesting to have 2 non-sewers trying to follow my directions for finding out if the sample dress would fit. We did manage to get it done though. I am still sewing dresses for the bridesmaids.

Here is what I can check off of my sewing list though:

Flower girl dress-done
2 Jr. Bridesmaids dresses-done
Ring bearer pillow-done

Other Things to check off the list:

Father of the Bride measured for his tux--done
Linens ordered for reception-done
Photographer secured-done
Flowers-done
Caterer-done
Wedding Invitations sent-done
Reception decorations--in the hands of my good friend, Eunice

Now--just the rest of the little details.

Notice I did not say what was still on my To-Do list. It is still too long......

Of course, my post would not be complete without some photos of the "grand" children:

January and Winter is Here!

Well, our wonderful weather finally gave in to the real winter--cold, snow, and a little bit of ice. But we have nothing to complain about as it has been unseasonably mild.
Once again the new year brings the promise of hope for a better year for all--not that our past year wasn't good. We are truly blessed. All are in good health, have jobs, and homes. What could be better?

Soon I will post photos from the past year. Here are a few:

Just ask me!
