that my best friend is getting married in just over 3 months, 99 days to be exact. (yes, i did get an "OMG there's only double digits of days left!" phone call today}
what this means:
there's a box FULL of packing peanuts in my backseat, that I am very scared of spilling with every turn i make. if I take it out of the car then I will forget to take it with me to martha's next friday. it will be used in the centerpieces, which are buckets of popcorn, to make them appear fuller.
that $5 bra I bought the other day is even more of a blessing. though martha's worried the white bra won't work under the black dress. my thoughts are that the dress is thick enough that it won't matter. if there's a problem, i see a box of black dye in my near future.
shoes. gotta get shoes. kept thinking i had months to do it until i made a run to the seamstress today (not wedding related) and realized i'd need the shoes to have the alterations done.
just over a month until the bridal shower. lots to do. such a fun day planned.
next week the bride & "her girls" will be partying it up at CityWalk. Oh. and photos for the programs/decorations will be taken at that time. (long explanation, but martha has the best ideas sometimes.) that means, super sticking to the diet this week & next.
gotta dig through the garage some more & find my scanner & photo printer. scanner for martha to use for the programs and printer to be used at the bridal shower.
most importantly...
this means martha is getting married. to jon. to the man i told her to be nice too, cause he's gotta be special to put up with her. to the man my daughter thinks the world of and i do believe has a little crush on. and they are talking children. soon. my martha. the person that knows me best. can. not. wait. the only person that can describe an engagement like this:
Which really, makes much more sense than the rambling phone call I got that started with 'we went up the ski lift' and ended with 'we're engaged!' with not a single word in between that I was able to understand.
love her. love him. love them.

We were on a ski trip in Keystone, Colorado with
Kristina and Jason when the boys
went a head of us to the top of the mountain. The boys had an idea to
take photos of each couple. When Jon and I went to take photos Jon went
down on one knee, at that moment I hit him and said "Stop messing
around , thats not funny!" When all of a sudden he pulls out this
beautiful ring and at that point I hit him again and said "You are
lying , NO WAY!" I was in shock. Jon said some beautiful words that
unfortunately I can't remember because I started crying and he started
crying and then WE GOT ENGAGED!!!!! Needless to say it was pretty
difficult to concentrate going down that mountain. :)
Which really, makes much more sense than the rambling phone call I got that started with 'we went up the ski lift' and ended with 'we're engaged!' with not a single word in between that I was able to understand.
love her. love him. love them.
