Thursday Update

Everything is going to get crazier from here on out. I am getting excited!

I have the last of three cakes in the oven right now and it is not even 8 AM. I don't plan to put the whipped topping frosting on until tomorrow, because I don't want it to dry out. Today we cut veggies, cook pork, make cole slaw and baked beans. I think Doug will also be mixing up the Veggie Joe's. John & Elaine plan to come over this morning to help and Diedre is also going try and make it over sometime today.

Diedre is picking up Chloe this morning to go pick up dresses. Thomas and Doug are going for a final fitting for tuxes sometime today as well.

Last night we made a list of everything we need to take along to the dinner. I'm sure we will need to check it seeveral times before tomorrow afternoon to make sure we have everything.

Hello Kitty Wedding Anyone?

Wednesday Update

Yesterday was an easy day for me. A little laundry and straightening of the living room before John & Elaine arrived. Doug and Chloe went to the airport to pick them up. Thomas & Diedre arrived with Luke while I was waiting for them to come back from the airport. Luke was his usual energetic self. Diedre was a bit nervous and excited.

As soon as they got here, Doug and John worked on charging the air in Blue. John & Elaine are borrowing Blue while they stay here. I think Elaine really likes the car. Once it was fixed, they decided to drive over to Curt's apartment because they were a bit tired, they had gotten up at 3 AM. Then Doug worked on the ice machine in the frig, as the part we ordered arrived in the mail. We now have ice coming from the frig. Doug was very excited.

Ross stopped by to visit and we all went to Sam's Club and then Sonic for Cherry Lemonade Slushies. Chloe got the grape that tastes like Jolly Ranchers and Ross got a root beer float. Then we stopped by Curt's apartment on the way home. It turns out John & Elaine never took a nap. They had just finish cleaning up from supper. We stayed and chatted a while. Curt even borrowed his neighbor's cat for a while to show everyone how much it looks like Angel. It was a sweet little thing.

We didn't stay long because everyone was getting hungry for supper. We ate and then watched TV. Deadliest Catch & After the Catch. I had to cry again, more Capt. Phil stuff.

Not sure what is on the list today. We will probably make more BBQ sauce. We also need to go over to the Community Center to take a peek at the kitchen area. We also will be going over the rehearsal dinner menu and make a schedule of what needs done and when. This will be tricky on Fri. We get the community center key at 3:30, need to be at the church at 4 for rehearsal and the dinner starts at 5 & Doug will be picking up chicken & potatoes at Pizza Ranch at 5. Busy, busy, busy.

Reminds me of someone...

Tuesday Update

Still a few things to do. We now have the small guest room finished! Doug also has the Mac up and running! A bit of last minute shopping today and a bit more cleaning. The rest of the week will be busy with cooking and prep for the rehearsal and wedding. I am excited. Thomas and Diedre are coming to town this afternoon. Busy, busy, busy....

Wedding Mishaps

Monday Update

Yesterday was a busy day. I put the plants back where they belong in the living room. We moved the scaffolding and Chloe's extra boxes to the basement. We put the old frig in the day kitchen. We are going to keep it until after the wedding to put all the rehearsal dinner food in. We also moved the water cooler to make space for the frig. The entryway is also now saw dust free. The list actually got smaller yesterday, instead of bigger. The day ended with me on the couch watching fireworks on TV.

Thanks Chloe!

Saturday Update

On vacation at last. Next week at this time we will be at City Looks getting ready for the wedding! It is coming quickly now. I'm very excited!

Last night we went over the menu and shopping list for the rehearsal dinner. I purchased a lot of things that were needed last night. Still a few more things to do and we need to go take a look at the Community Center this week to get a better idea of what we have available there.

This morning I am washing the rest of the living room drapes. We have lots of other things to try and knock off of our list as well.

Friday Update

Friday is finally here! The best part is, I already know that they are letting us out early because of the 4th holiday. My vacation starts at 3 this afternoon.

Last night we worked on getting the ice maker working on the frig. Doug ended up ordering a part online because there was a rather bad leak. There will be ice before company gets here. John Howe will love that!

I also started washing the drapes in the living room. This was long over due. I have the side window done and the front big window left. I may have to move all the plants to get at them. Doug also put up a new Roman shade in the dining room. It looks very nice. Mao was tearing apart the old venetian blinds.

I hope to get a lot done this afternoon after work. Still need some table things and food items for the rehearsal dinner. It is getting very close now. I'm rather excited for the wedding and to see lots of family together.

Thursday Update

Two days to go! Not much to blog today. I close a fantastic sale at work yesterday! Over 2K!

Last night we shopped for an ice maker starter kit. Menards and Sears didn't have what we needed. Finally found the one we needed at Home Depot. Then we went home had supper washed dishes and it was time for bed. The days go by way too fast.
