Married!

Finally the day came. It was perfect, everything went just as planned and better.

Catching up . . . .

So I just realized - or had pointed out to me - that I had not updated this blog in a very long time. So much has happened - I have been so busy. I will try to do a quick update then post pics later.

It is now only 30 days to the wedding - I am so excited! Things are done as much as they can be for now, just last minute stuff to do.

A friend is making the cake - she makes beautiful cakes and did one for her grandparents that was exactly what I had pictured for mine - she offered - I went for it!!

I am still going to make about 250 cupcakes - I think I have decided on the punch. I am hoping to make white grape/peach. We'll see if I can find enough of it.

Bunnie, Melinda and I made 250 white chocolate seashells to go on the cupcakes. The seashell favors are done.

I found a great deal on silk calla lillies for my flowers. I am still deciding on for Tim. I would love to find a really small calla lilly for his lapel.

I have the pics planned out that I want - a friend from work is going to do the pics - that is exciting. She takes the same style as I do and we like the same stuff.

Tim is the love of my life and I am so anxious to start our together life. Sometimes when we are driving along somewhere, talking or just being quiet, it feels as if we have been married for years. It is exciting, new, wonderful, and comfortable, I have never felt so loved, or loved so much. I have never been so much myself with any man. I love being me with him, and I love that he is totally himself with me.

That is all I can think of for now - did I say I was excited????

28 years ago today

Hard to believe that 28 years ago at this minute I was anxiously waiting to meet my first born. Jason is 28 today - so hard to believe that it was that long ago.

I am so proud of the man he has grown into. Even though the piece of his life are still falling into place he tries to follow the plan that God has for him. He has grown into a wonderful man.

Weird Pics

I have been playing with my camera settings in prep for trying to take a pic of the space station tonight. Some of them have turned out pretty cool.

on the cake

Well - it went on pretty easy. Smoothed out pretty nice. I kinda wished I had made some of the white chocolate shells to try on it. Oh well - I may try it again with all the decorations. This last pic is what I would like it to look like, or similar.

my first try at fondant frosting for the wedding cake

So I tried out the marshmallow fondant frosting that I found on the internet. It was so sticky to make - the pics don't even show how sticky but it ended up turning out pretty smooth. In the next couple days I will try putting it on a cake.

I also made a few white chocolate shells - I want to see how they freeze. See if I can make them way ahead and freeze them. I think they turned out pretty good.

Let you know how the frosting works on the cake.

classes

I am taking a 2 week on line class in Photoshop, I am learning some pretty cool stuff. Here are a few examples of what I have done.
