Another week gone by?!...

I can't believe it! We had a great time last weekend at Sean and Allissa's wedding - very pretty and very nice reception (food, entertainment, etc). Her mother had a beautiful voice and sang in Italian a few songs. We got home at midnight, passed out in bed and got up at 4am to go to work! This week has consisted mainly of getting things ready for Amber's open house. Monday night, went to Sam's and Walmart, Tuesday night to Meijer's to work on picture posters. Wednesday night was church after working on the yard a little then to Heather's after church to ride Gentleman for an hour, Thursday night we worked around here, then to Heather's for a bit to ride again. Friday night we went to Gordon's right after work to pick up lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and potatoe salad then to the hall to start getting decorating done with Sam and Maria, Michelle, Matt and Emmie and Aunt Heather, Carly and Maggie. That was fun, then came home and went to Aunt Heather's again. I don't remember if I actually went to Heather's that many nights this week, but close enough! This morning, while Jeremy was at the dentist, Amber and I went to Jen's house to practice our song for tomorrow morning, then Meijer's for some last minute stuff, then to Gordon's for ice, then to the hall to drop off, then home to get ready, gave Lyndsay a bath, then to the hall again to finish setting up and getting the food out. Sam and Maria, Aunt Bea and Jo Jo worked hard in the kitchen! Everything went so well! I can't believe all of the people that came! The hardest part is feeling as if you can't visit with everyone. There are so many people I haven't seen in so long, but didn't get to talk with for very long. But, it was so great to see everyone even if it was for a moment! Five hours really seemed like 5 minutes! The kids were good - the older ones mostly went to the park and played which was great! Erin was tired (no nap) and had a few melt down moments, but that's ok. Lyndsay was passed around quite a bit and was very good! She took a few good naps - thank goodness Grandpa Steve brought the play pen! Her cake was beautiful and Amber did a great job with all of her pictures, etc. Mary T made a pretty quilt for everyone to sign which was a great idea! Oh, and my cousin Kim came with Jon, Preston and 4 day old baby Ava who is gorgeous! What a brave lady! Thanks to all who helped in any way - the desserts were delicious and so was the food. Amber got a lot of nice gifts as well and is very thankful and had a great time. She and most of her friends came to our house and played volleyball and had a campfire with smores before everyone left to go home. Now, I will post some pictures and then I'm off to bed - we are singing tomorrow morning at church so I have to be there a bit early to practice. Have a good Lord's day. Oh, another blessing, I didn't think the hall was air conditioned but was surprised to walk in there last night and feel cool air conditioning! Thank you Jesus!
