Yay!!! We took Mom shopping yesterday and used a personal shopper at Nordstrom. Made it so nice to not have to wander around the store looking for things. My mom has mild dementia, so her ability to...

So...a friend of mine from college (we'll call her Friend 1) is coming from out of town to our wedding--I'm so excited! We haven't seen each other in ages! Her husband can't come, and she asked if...

Almost... our acceptance rate currently is 95%! Good, and stressful, since we over invited by about that many. So I think we are going to end up at exactly or just under our venue capacity. That is...

So, I have a good friend who I have known for over 40 years. She wants to have some sort of celebration gathering for me and FH, which is very much appreciated. However, when she first approached me...

I was so surprised (in a good way)! Mailed invitations this past Tuesday, locals got them on Wednesday, and yesterday (Friday), I had 4 'yes' RSVPs in my mailbox! 2 of them are my good girlfriends, so...

I am so, so happy! It looks even better in person than in the photo. I was so nervous because I am not a big makeup person. The MUA was sweet as could be. Can't wait for the real thing! p.s. I was...

They came yesterday! My sister is going to do the addresses. The font I used probably could have been one or two points larger, though it looked fine on the website preview page...but oh, well...not...

Thought of y'all today. Hobby Lobby has some pretty peacock things in the new Christmas decorations. Just FYI!
