Rain, plates, and lemondrops! Oh my!

Today we had a great day! Christin and I went to the dentist because she needs to get her wisdom teeth out BEFORE the wedding! Wisdom teeth surgery is February 19th. The wedding is March 8th. Then we went to get the coffee cups, regular cups, plates, cake plates, and forks. We ran between the raindrops and underneath the awnings of the stores going from one store to another. We laughed and Christin said it was like a real life Mario game! Every once in a while we had to go out around a garbage can or sign. Our final stop was Cracker Barrel where we bought lemon drops! When we got home and Christin, one of her bridesmaids, and Rebecca put the lemondrops in little bags for the favors.

When given lemons, make LEMONADE!!!!

We were given LOTS of lemons, so tonight Marty juiced them. He says there were about 40 lemons. There were so many that the juicer overheated before he could finish. We will be having fresh lemonade at Christin's wedding. YUMMY!

Candy, candy, and more candy!!!!

Thursday, January 22nd, Christin came home to go with Daddy to the uniform store for her EMT pants. Her partner sent his list too. After Marty went to work, we played wedding dress up. Christin tried on her dress and it fits perfectly, but we can't seem to find the bustle part. Rebecca tried on her dress and we need some length adjustments. They both looked good in their dresses. I think I saw my 4 and 8 year old little girls playing dress up..... I have great pictures, but don't know how to get them on here. Plus I don't want to put them up before the wedding.

Last night (January 25th) Christin and Aaron came over to work more on the wedding preparations. Marty was going to a men's function at a local church and he took Aaron with him. Christin and I wrapped 400 miniature chocolate bars! Then we put the 1,008 Hershey's kisses and the 400 miniatures into baggies so it would be easier to put out at the wedding. When the guys got home Aaron and Rebecca worked on decorating the cake serving set.

We were going to make the favors, but who would of thought there were no seeds available at Home Depot until mid-March??!! I'm off to search the internet for seeds.

6 more weeks until the wedding!

Wedding Planning

Saturday, January 17th

We were camping at Moss Park so Christin came home for steak night and wedding planning! They already had the invitations addressed, so Christin and I went in search of the perfect stamp. We found it, too! It's a vine in the shape of a heart and the perfect color green to match the invites. So back to the campground we go to put stamps and return address labels on the envelopes. After we were done with that we discussed food, serving platters, and who was able to help.

Earlier in the week Marty worked out the placement of the tables in the reception hall.
