Who knew how annoying all these little decisions could be. I'm extremely happy that I only have a month to bother with all this stuff instead of 3 or more.
Overall though, our few days of shopping were really easy. Things kept appearing and working out so serendipitously that I couldn't help thinking that it was all meant to be this way.
I was really happy to get back here to Bubba. We are both much happier when we are together. I think that's a good sign. He was busy working on invitations while I was away. (They should start coming out by the end of the week.)
In all, I owe mom a big huge THANKS!!! for making it all happen. I'm sorry that, in all likleyhood, these kinds of decisions and large purchases will be dominating her next few months, but then again, at least after that it will be done FOREVER. Then let the good-times and babies start to roll.
I love you mom.
Here are a few of my favorites from our engagement session:
This one is my fav

pardon: "Mom and me." not "Mom and I." Clearly.
So fun that is really exciting for you! I choose #3 picture if your asking. #4 looks like he is strangling you.
Can't wait to see you all....
We missed you a Thanksgiving,
Mom Kate and I are wondering if we can stay for the rest of the week after the wedding, is that too many?
We miss you guys! We will be really good ;)!
Miranda- want some details on the flower girl situation. Is it for sure? Holly is really excited about it. Where will you need them (for pics) etc. Are you going to want me to take pictures at the reception? I'm glad things fell into place so well for you :) Love all your pictures :) :) Lookin forward to the invite.
It was a good week and we got a ton of stuff planned. Now I have to get to work and make it all happen!
Ummm. A week after? Let's talk.
not a week after just the rest of the week. Thurs-Sunday? You can say if its to much....
Flower Girl Sitc: I would love to have three (four, counting Bubba's niece) little cute girls running around. I hadn't really thought about them as far pictures. The plan for pictures is: following the sealing, I am guessing around 1:30, we will have a half an hour or so of group picture time, then everyone is welcome to head back. I'm sure we could get a few shots with them during that time. But if it's too much trouble to bring them to the temple then don't worry about it. Bubba and I will be staying after for probably another hour to take pictures on the grounds.
If you are feeling up to it, I would love you to be snapping photos at the reception. That would be wonderful.
I hadn't really thought about the fact that we'll need to find someone to watch the kids during the sealing. Did you say we will be doing a session beforehand? If so, I'm not so sure it'll work to try and find someone to get the girls ready and bring them down to the temple for the pictures. If it's just the sealing I'll try to find a babysitter to watch them at the VC while we're inside. Also, they'll need sweaters most likely. Is the reception inside? We could get matching ones like at Target or somewhere if you want.
I'm quite certain I'll be up for taking pictures at the reception. That'll be fun:)
Yes I think sweaters will be needed! Remember mine! Also Tatum will be there with kids if Brittany or someone else in the fam, Carrie if she'll be there (not endowed) then they ould be fine I think. I already told Rand we can't go to the session too, too hard with kids.
Well actually Carrie is not endowed so she can watch the kids during the sealing. She and I will be driving in the day of the wedding. We'll probably get there about 10 AM. So I won't be at the endowment session. We'll be picking up Grandpa and driving him to the sealing.
Maybe we can work it out so that we can take some or all of the kids with us. Carrie and I could each drive a car so be able to take everyone down there.
Okay, it sounds like we'll be able to work it all out. I'll just plan on the sealing too. The session would be neat but really long for the kids. I'm glad we'll be able to work it out. It'll be fun for the kids to see them come out of the temple :)
Thanks Jeff and Carrie!
That all sounds great. Bubba and I kinda wanted to keep the session to ourselves anyway. We didn't expect anyone else to come for that. His parents, and Mom were really all we had thought to have there, if they want to.
Sweaters--sure. Sounds great, or whatever.
Love you all. Thanks for doing so much to make my day so wonderful and great.
Also, in substitution for a luncheon we will be having a joint family dinner on Tuesday night at the JoJo's Pizza on Lambert for whoever can make it. Probably around 6:30. Sorry you wont be able to make it Jeff.
It sounds like you don't care about the sweaters too much. Since they will be in pictures do you want them to match your colors or would you rather have white? If it doesn't matter to you at all, then I won't bother with the matching thing.
feeling really gross today. In case anyone was wondering.
yes. White. preferably.
oh, sorry Kate. I've been wondering. I am planning on coming out to help you the week before Christmas with kids, shopping, cooking, cleaning, errands, goodie tray baking, rides. Seriously, it sounds fun. I'll try out "mom" for a while. Nothing like jumping straight in to 4 at once.
At the same time I can go looking for wedding dresses around there in modest-ville.
Sal you are so awesome! I can't wait! Goodie tray baking alone would be HUGE :) Most of all- it'll be so fun just to have you here and hang out. Me, you and Amy will have to have a girls night one night too. Are you flying?
Oh yeah- Rand is your shower date set or could you maybe do it Tues so Amy and I can come? Maybe that's too crazy.
That is certainly when I would like to do it. Maybe at 8? But, I don't know what the powers that be (mom and Betsey) will decide.
I'd LOVE that too, but if its to crazy for Mom and Betsy that is very understandable!
I'm writing my big paper now, so it's probably faster for me to answer stuff here than to call people.
I don't think I'll be flying. I'll probably drive out about the 16th to the 23rd? How does that work for you guys, meaning Amy and Kate?
I can only speak for myself for sure, but I think we agree. We want you ANYTIME! Can't wait to se you...
when will that big paper be done? And yes- those dates or any sound fine by me.
mom- haven't heard from you in awhile. Does that mean you don't want 8 sweet grandkids there for 3 days?
No, it just means I've been really busy and haven't had time to figure it all out. Of course you're welcome to come...I MAY consider possible motel accomodations. (For kids, not me!) Love, ya'll. :)
