The upcoming nuptials


So, as of tomorrow we are officially at the two week countdown. While I know that there are many many projects going on at mom's house, there are quite a few going on here as well. I finally got all of the invitations mailed out, with the exception of two. HOORAY!!!! I officially completed Amber's bridesmaid dress. That was super fun. Let's just hope that I put the zipper in right, and that it fits the way that it's supposed to. We'll see on Sunday when I see her next, and make her put it on. It does look super fantastic on the hangar though. After many trips to either James City County, or the Lynnhaven area, we finally got Jeremie's honor guard uniform ready, and he looks so good. It's so pretty, now I know why I'm marrying a fireman. No, no I kid.
A couple of weekends ago, me, Amber, mom Gibbs, and Aunt Theresa went shopping to find mom a new outfit for the wedding. It's so pretty, I think she might outdo me. But we had to hem the pants, cause she's a shorty like me. It's great that I fit in height wise though.
We are also spending a lot of time getting the yard ready for the "informal reception" that we are hosting at our house the second weekend of June for all of our family and friends that aren't going to be able to attend the actual wedding. Jeremie aerated the whole yard, and then our neighbor let us borrow one of his ride on mowers, and let Jeremie use the other one to get it all mowed.
We do have a ride on mower, but it's not working, so it looks pretty in the yard. I think that Jeremie is hoping that someone will just come and take it, but when you live next door to, and across the street from the law, people probably don't just drive by and take things. Then we put down grass seed in the front yard, to try to choke out all the weeds that live there. The grass seed is supposed to be watered three to four times a day until it starts to sprout, but as soon as we put it down, it started to rain...and rain...and rain...and rain... Today is the first day of the week that it hasn't rained...yet. But I guess I shouldn't complain to much, cause we saved a bundle on the water bill, not having to water the lawn.

So that's the fun times that we're having here in Virginia, looking forward to the fun times we're going to have in Salt Lake next week. I'll keep you posted.
