Well, not as hot as all that, but still . . .
Since last I posted, we've been to Texas and back. And THERE it was very hot! It was a nice time. Most of the family was there. We missed the Jones clan. I loved getting up every morning to Andrew being there (can you tell where my joy comes from these days?) We did go to the caverns one day and I have a great group photo that I promise to scan and post . . . later.
Now I'm mostly enmeshed in wedding plans. Here's what is done so far: Oak Canyon Park is reserved; Pam Pierson (Trent's mom) came with me to the park and we brainstormed ideas - I'm fairly close to having an actual shopping list; found a photographer who will shoot at the San Diego temple grounds for us for two hours; after sleepless nights worrying about how I was going to pull the food off, opted to hire Mark DiPadova to cater it - whatever we do, it's easier than me doing it; Kristi Pak will help me with cake plans; Maren VanOrman has offered to help me that day and I have a feeling I will need her big time - I will undoubtedly have to press other friends into service that day trying to deal with a "destination" wedding and still get a reception done that evening; the photobooth . . . sssshhhh, it's half way a secret - such a hit at Chelsea's and Trent's wedding; took my sister in law Whitney up on her offer to help and she will be arranging the "rehearsal" dinner of sorts the night before for all who plan on being in San Diego Friday night (still don't have an accurate headcount though); guest lists done; the kids are registered at BB&B, don't know if any other place yet; close to ordering ties for the males in the wedding party; need to talk flowers more with Pam - her schedule is very tight and she may not be available that weekend, but I'm hoping and hoping that she will be. Still have to figure out a number of things and shop for a number of things, but I feel like I have a better handle on it.
I have this odd fascination with voting for my favorite custom designed fabric on this blog:
Spoonflower I don't know why. I'm not buying any of it. I just think the concept is so cool and I like to vote :) You can design your own fabric and have it produced by Spoonflower. Spoonflower takes a few of those designs, offers them up for voting, and whichever one wins they print up and offer for sale to the public for a limited time.
I'm anxious for my summer class to be over. Still two more weeks (and a paper) to go. It's hard to concentrate on it when so much other stuff is going on. I'm also teaching in RS this Sunday and I need to prepare for that. What I really need is a 36 hour day!
Work is busy lately. I love my job and most of the people I work with. I'm very fortunate that way.
We had a BBQ here last weekend with some of our friends from the single's ward days. It was very nice. BBQs are my favorite part of summer!
Well, that's it for now. Nick and Jamie called and asked if I wanted to join them for dinner and you can imagine what I responded . . . "is Andrew coming?" LOL! Well, not exactly, but you get the idea . . . TTFN
