Busy, busy...

Hi again,
I can't believe it is the middle of July already. So much to do. I have been busy working on the wedding stuff. The invitations are taking forever, and I had to redo one part because there was an error in the script. That was frustrating, and more so since they should have already been in the mail. But it is fixed and we are just about at the end of them, waiting on Heather to finish getting a few addresses. The rsvp cards, and maps are done and in the invitations. The programs are ready to assemble as are the candy bar covers and the water bottle covers. It is slowly coming together.
Last Saturday we had the wedding shower, Jenn came up, since she was in charge of it, it went pretty well. We went to the wedding location and reviewed the process and details for the big day.
Oh, and have I mentioned the dresses?? No, I am avoiding that subject (at least for now). I have to get busy, lock my self in the sewing room. I actually have started but have had to work on the invitations or nobody will show up. Soon, I will have actual progress.
It was nice to have Jenn and Brett and Brody visit. Brody is getting so big, he is actually a little bit taller and thinner than Abby. He just looks like a little version of a big boy. It is just amazing at how fast time goes and how fast they grow. I look forward to when they can move back up here and I can see him more often. It was fun to hear all the new words he is saying. Abby too, she is saying full sentences now, and sometimes you can even figure some of it out.
I better go get busy on something for the wedding. Talk to you later.

Back from vacation...

Hi again, We have been back from vacation for a week and a half now, so yes I am a little slow at updating you. First of all, our trip should have been longer, or maybe it was just that we didn't take the time to camp out and I really feel like camping. But there is still time for camping.
Our trip from Michigan to home was fun. We got to visit three of the Laura Ingall's Wilder historical sites, first her birthplace in Pepin, WI, then Walnut Grove, MN, and then the last homestead in DeSmet, SD. It was really interesting, and I got souveniers and a couple of books so I could learn more of the history. We drove through the Badlands and Mt Rushmore in South Dakota, that was really neat. Then through Wyoming again so we decided to drive through Yellowstone. That was really nice, but too quick, so we will be planning another trip there sometime and spend a whole day. We saw bison and elk but no bear or moose, so we have to go back. And we didn't take the route that has Old Faithful, so of course we have to go back to see that. It was all pretty awesome though. Going through Montana we went to a ghost town, that was really interesting. And of course we saw a lot of places that we should have camped at.
Now that we are home it will be busy, busy, working on getting the yard in shape (now that we are home to water it) and I will be busy with wedding stuff.
Talk to you soon.
