Yes, my baby sister is finally hitched to her long-time love of her life. They are in Mexico on their cruise-honeymoon as we speak.
I don't know what that child was thinking having an outdoor wedding in August (at Matthews Manor in Springville) that was NOT AT THE BEACH but oh my goodness, I thought we were going to all melt for sure. It was so hot and sticky! But then again, it wasn't that bad! lol The wedding was 7 p.m. but making the pictures beforehand was the kicker. But we made a few, went inside to cool down and made some more and we all got through it.
They did a cutesy little dance when the preacher told them to kiss the bride. They are so funny!
Then the reception was a blast. Everyone danced, toasted the bride and groom and I can't wait to see the video Melissa made for them not to mention the several HUNDRED pictures Jenny took on her super-duper camera. I took quite a few on my own little Sony but today I have not had time to recharge the batteries in order to get them off the camera and onto the computer. So I'll post some soon. Trust me, everything was beautiful, especially my "first baby"! (Well, except for Chris' stupid Auburn groom's cake! :::puking here:::)
Kayti and Brooke did so good as bridesmaid and flowergirl and my little Brooke hammed it up at the reception, dancing with Chris AND Brett! LOL
The slideshow I did seemed to be a hit. Jeff said everyone was moved to tears when the slides came up of Chris grandfather (who passed away last year) and Maw Maw (who passed in 1997 but it still feels like last year!)
So even though we're over the biggest hurdle of the year, there's no rest for the weary. Today I got a LOT done in my classroom and then I went shopping for more stuff. Shopping is not so bad when you're spending someone else's money. But I still try to live up to my nickname of Miss Thrifty. I spent a LOT less than I actually expected to and as soon as I get it all to work tomorrow and put in place, I'll pretty much be done. Good thing because I have to get shirts and stuff ordered for pep squad and stuff ready for CORE and Co-op!
But I'm still taking time out for our Tuesday pool party tomorrow!
Goodnight and God bless!
