Wedding Preparations

Greetings to all up north! Today is a brand new day. This is the day that we slave over roses and leaves and pretty decorating schemes. Gramanita is going to make the cake today and I shall attempt to help her. It may be doubtful at how helpful I will be, but I might be a quick learner and actually be of some sort of assistance. I hope...
Last night Ann, Gramma and Auntie Lori went out to Tony Roma's for dinner. Boy, they sure have tasty ribs. After we finished eating we sat in the booths for a little while with our camera snapping silly pictures of each other and ourselves. We are a little too silly sometimes... Afterwards I went home with Annie and helped her sew beads onto her veil. You see, her aunt made her veil for her, but had hot glued all the beads on. So when Ann tried it on, all the beads started popping off. She figured she would try to sew them on herself and the more that were sewed on, the less would end up falling off. The problem is, is that it is very tedious work and very time consuming. Every time you sew on a couple beads, the next couple fall off. So we did that f or a few hours. I didn't get very far, but every little bit helps. Then she took me back to Auntie Lori's house so I could actually sleep in a bed instead of on the floor or couch or wherever.
So today we have a nice project before us, that which should be started relatively soon. And Auntie Kim will soon be here from Albuquerque with Mandy and Abbey (my cousins). Auntie Lori is working today and Ann is running here and there getting her nails done and her hair colored (the typical bride- much to do the day before you get married). So I'll be off to help Grandmother do the cake... or at least try. Hope everyone is well and not having too much fun without me... Hugs and kisses to all!!!

Wow, it sounds like you are all very busy! I'm so glad you have the opportunity to spend some time with your southern family. That was nice of you to help Annie with her veil too. Hopefully the beads won't fall off too much now. Good luck with your cake decorating! I'll bet the weather's great there because it is here. It's in the 70's today and very sunny! The whole week has been nice, but I think this is the warmest day so far. I hope you're remembering to take lots of pictures. Well I better stop rambling on and on, we need to go buy a sweet cherry tree for our backyard now.

Tomorrow is the big day! Are you excited? You'll have to give everyone a big hug today cause I can't do it. Have Grandma give you a picture to put on your blog. You show her how so she can do it when she gets home, okay? Or maybe to Darius' house. We want to see the new baby!
