9 Years ago today. . .
18
Wed, 06-10-2009 - 8:59am

The house was chaos, my mother was here, Colleen and I had to go get our hair done, and C needed an emergency repair on a fingernail, my mother was here, I was sincerely regretting the dress I'd chosen - and the shoes - and was trying to keep track of the brothers and sisters in law, and my own siblings, and hoping no one felt snubbed or out of the loop, (but was sure they all did, lol), the phone was ringing off the hook (it seemed), and I didn't have a clue what my dh was doing - or even where he was. And did I mention my mother was here?


LOL, yep, 9 years ago today, Colleen got married. Somehow, after all that chaos (most of it in my own head, I think), everyone ended up looking good (well, okay in my case, lol) and where they were supposed to be (I think) as we watched my daughter, looking like a fairy tale princess, walk on the arm of her father into her new life ('scuse me - I'm all misty now....)


Happy ninth anniversary, Colleen and Brian!

We probably won't do much of anything for them, other than go visit and celebrate it, my dh's birthday and dh's and my anniversary (the 11th and 12th) this weekend.


Next year may be different, though, if they stick to the plan they have. They are talking about going to Las Vegas and renewing their vows.

Awww..your poor mom, I can almost feel what it must have been like for her. Makes me wonder what I'm like sometimes too in the eyes of my daughters. I know they think I'm a fussy pot perfectionist. I don't know where they got that from..LOL!! I keep telling them there's a right way, a wrong way, and a half assed way of doing things. I'm the right way kind of gal! I'm the only one in

And I think I'm the only one in my family who doesn't mind a mess - if there's a good reason for it, lol.


I do clean, and pretty well, if I
