May 2009

Wow I cannot believe how fast time is flying, soon school will be out, the baby will be here and we'll be right in the middle of summer. This month started out with a trip to Branson with Morgan and the 4th and 5th grade of from her school. We had a great time attending World Fest at Silver Dollar City but it rained pretty much the whole time we were gone. We managed to see everything we wanted, shopped a good bit and even got to go to Branson Landing and eat at Joe's Crab Shack! I have always wanted to eat there and it was great! I bought me and Morgan both a Joe's tye dyed tshirt, yeah I know, I'm a total tourist!

We are also in the midst of planning a wedding! It's May 22nd and we are hoping and praying that the rain stops and we have nice weather because it is planned outside! We do have a pavilion rented as well, but it will be a tight squeeze to do everything under the pavilion. The plans are pretty much all finalized and I am beginning to feel a little relief the closer it gets to the big day. I feel for folks to spend months planning a wedding, it would be too stressful for me, I'm actually thankfully the kids decided to do it pretty soon, it only gave us a month to plan, but that's only a month to stress too! Next week, I'll have pictures of the wedding to share.

Last week, Jessica and Derek's best friends, Kayla and Rob, had their baby girl Rylee, she's gorgeous and I had the pleasure of taking her first pictures here just the other day, at 6 days old she was a perfect angel. Having Rylee arrive has sure made us all anxious to get Brinlee here! It won't be long that's for sure!

This month there is something going on every weekend, Morgan and I are going to an out of town graduation on the 17th, the wedding is the 22nd, her dance recital is the 30th-31st, the following weekend, June 5th, is her birthday, so I plan to have her party on June 6th, it seems lately we don't have a weekend with nothing planned. We hope to go camping soon after school is out, but before the baby comes but I am not sure we'll be able to fit that in!
