dyk dare I ask what people were up to last night


dyk I was comforting my friend


dyk hateful things are being said about her daughter by people who have no clue


dyk and friend is questioning where God is in all of this


dyk not a good thing for anyone involved

spring 09 siggy


For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.  The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.       Song of Solomon 2:  11,12

We, of course, sisters of the GROOM, were the first and practically only people (of the bridal party) that showed up to decorate - we had the flowers but my mom and aunt had the vases, bowls, fruit, etc, so when they didn't show up... didn't show up.... we came up with a back up plan

dyk another long standing family tradition (started about 15 years ago and has covered 9 family weddings and a 50th anniversary) is the Wedding Sombreros there is a saga read with them and then the bride and groom wear them and dance to the chicken dance - lol


dyk each couple then keeps them until the next wedding and adds something personal about them to it - my BIL stapled fake cash, lol

dyk love the back-up plan for the flowers


dyk and the weather switch was definitely ordained by a higher being


dyk something akin to using the simple things to confound the wise


dyk totally out of context, I know, but I couldn't resist

dyk something funny, can't remember what... I do have to say I don't care how in jest or in love.... when the minister (LONG time family friend) was talking about Tyler haviing two older sister and called us overbearing w/ strong personalities.... I wasn't exactly thrilled with that terming.

dyk when the rain looked its most ominious (3pm) we came up with a plan for what we would wear if it rained


dyk given they mostly had hair appts..... we decided that was most important - hair coverage


dyk so here's what we had: a ton of target bags

and here is my sister testing it - for the 35 minutes we waited in the jeep for the rest of the people to get there to decorate, those were the funniest 35 minutes of the weekend - we laughed so hard my facehurt


dyk there is video as well - I'll have that tomorrow.
