Time slips away

As I am preparing this post, I seen how long it has been since I posted. I was going to get up to date with wedding planning and life. Well, obviously that didn't happen. The wedding is one month from today. Time crunch now. Lots to do, but I am keeping faith that it will all fall into place. After the wedding I will blog with everyday events like I origionally planned. Like talking about the new cool scrapbooking tool I found. 2 days ago a friend told me about "Kiwi Lane Designs." They have really cool templates to use to help you with the elimination of making cuts to paper, then hating your idea and having all the wasted paper and money in the trash. I am going to order some of these, play with them and then post my finished layouts on here. As for now, wedding mode is where I need to be.
Where are we in the wedding process? Well, my daughter, a bridesmaid is picking up her dress today. I can't wait to see her in it! Tonight the Bride, her mother and myself are meeting with the caterer to discuss both the rehearsal dinner and reception. I am dropping the cake topper off tonight and this weekend am finishing up the flower girl baskets and a lot of other odds n ends that I have going on. I also need to address my dress situation quickly. I ordered a dress that came and is too big. I should be happy right? That never happens to me, but in this case, not happy, do I just have it altered, do I send it back? I hate sending things back so I am leaning toward altered. I am also concerned about the color. It is saphire blue. She really likes it and I like the dress a lot but it only came in white...obvious why I didn't choose that, or the saphire. Pretty, but not sure it is right for her pastel wedding. But she likes it and told me not to look for another.

That's all the updates for now.

Love this photo

We needed some photos for one of the wedding projects. Of all the pictures I took, this one is my favorite!

Engagement celebration

Both our family & Caitlin's family went out for dinner together to "Country Cupboard" to celebrate the engagement. Although I knew the engagement would not be a long one, I did think it would be about a year...wrong. The wedding is October 2, 2010! Time to get planning in gear right away.

We'll start from the beginning...the Engagement!

It was Valentine's Day, Feb. 14, 2010. Her parents came to our house for a night of card playing, and to occupy our minds because even though Cait didn't know what was coming that night, we did. After the proposal they came over to show us all the ring. She was completely surprised.

It has been a while since I have been on here but with the upcoming wedding of my son, my friend suggested I start blogging about it. Not that I have time for one more thing in my life...but here goes.



We have been planning since February so things will not always be in an up to date order of how we are doing things, but eventually all the fun things will be added on...I hope.
