Well, it's been too long since I last blogged. But life has been busy, so I have a lot of excuses for my lack of blogginess. I've felt something like a chicken with it's head cut off..... and have been able to relate to Prince
Humperdinck when he said,"Tyrone, you know how much I love watching you work, but
I've got my country's 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange,
my wife to murder and Guilder to frame for it; I'm swamped."
It's been one of those moments where there are a billion things to get done and not
enough time to do it all. Needless to say, it hasn't been an unenjoyable period of time. I was able to attend a single ladies retreat in the beginning of February which was edifying, fun and I met so many nice gals!
Then in the later half of February my good friends Hannah and Mike were engaged..... to be married on the 8th of March!!! This past weekend!!! Really it was something like 18 days to plan. And 18 days were quite enough. Everything came together wonderfully.
Mr. Kubetz gave an excellent message!!
My dad married them!
Hannah was a beautiful bride and Mike, a very handsome groom.
To make matters even better, my awesome friends Robbie and Courtney came up!! And I just love their spontaneity: On their way up they stopped to go skiing.... and then drove more.... and then stopped at a hotel to go swimming.... and finally made it to my house!!! .....and the next morning, before the wedding, they went out for breakfast at the local Norwegian restaurant, then making it to the wedding just in the nick-of-time, zipping into their seats just before the processional started!! =D If you ever need advice on how to pack the most fun into one trip just ask Courtney and Robbie!!!
To top things off, the cake was awesome... and they decided to use the little clothes-pin bride & groom I'd made for Hannah when I heard she was getting married. I hadn't thought of it being a cake topper when I made it... but it looked so cute next to Mike's toy John Deere tractor! =D
Mike's Aunt Lori (and also the wife of the farmer Hannah's been working for) helped with the organization, orchestration and
decoration of the whole event. Literally, the wedding wouldn't have been half as classy and lovely if she hadn't participated. She's quite a talented lady and she made
the cake too!!!
We decided to take a few pictures.... the three of us besties: Courtney, Sandy and I!! ...and so we made the guys be in a picture too, and this is what happened! Hehe:
They are so funny!!!!
All in all it was a beautiful day, the weather was unusually gorgeous and warm, and everyone had a fun time!!!
Now that the wedding's over I have to pack and prepare like crazy... because on the 12th I'm headed to Colorado with my bros, Isaac and Channing, to visit my aunt & uncle and also my cousin Dustin!!! We're all so excited!!!!
...oh, and did I mention that during all of this wedding planning and vacation preparing I had a short time to prepare an article for the local newspaper that I'm writing for now (which I'm very excited about)! Wheeew.....
I'm looking forward to taking it easy for two weeks out West.
Anyways, I doubt I'll be posting again until April. BUT.... ya never know. ;)
