Yesterday my thoughts were……..How is it possible that July 29th 2011 has actually past and I am now sitting on a plane enroute home back to our “normal” life in Spokane? It is now July 30th. The wedding is over, everything has been tidied up and packed away, caterers, photographers, and DJ’s have been paid, and I am wondering what I will do with my life now? Hmmmmm….that is definitely going to take me a few minutes to figure out!
It was all very relaxing and fun preparing for this wedding, and upon arrival in Michigan on July 20th we hit the ground running.
All my children at the same time.....Heaven
Enjoying each others company
Taking a few minutes (but only a few) to enjoy the beautiful river that was a part of the property where we were staying.
Me: "Gary, can we move here"? Gary: "No Barbie, we already have a beautiful place to live"
......Me: "But this is REALLY beautiful"....Gary "That is what you say about every beautiful place we go"
Me: "okay, lets just buy a summer place here" Gary: "we better get back to work"
.......so we went back to the house and started on the cake.
One layer down....two to go for the crumb coat.
