Sneak Peak from Wedding

by Kay~Kacey on 6/21/2010

I’m writing this at 2:45 am on Monday morning… A bit over exhausted and I just couldn’t sleep. I haven’t even finished downloading all the photos from the cards to the computer…but I thought I’d show you just a quick few. The wedding was awesome. So glad to have another female in the family! A quick storm blew through right before the wedding and dropped the temperature from 96 to 74!! Such a relief! Perfect weather.  Few tiny raindrops during the ceremony…isn’t that supposed to be lucky??

We had a great time. They had dueling pianos which were fantastic! Hit of the reception. After the reception, everyone went back to the nearby hotel where most of us were staying…and stayed up partying in the courtyard. I think SuperGuy and I finally called it quits about 3am, but a lot of the kids saw the sunrise.

First, the happy couple! Isn’t her dress gorgeous?

Oh, and of course, you knew there would be one…a pointing picture!

I will get more photos up this week and post some larger ones over on my photo blog.

But, for now, I think I’ll try that sleep thing again.

The Boys are Back in Town

The boys are back in town! The boys are back in town! (you’ll be singing that now, right?) Anyway, my babies are all here for the wedding. We have big graduation party plans, The Magnificent Rehearsal Dinner ™ here in the pretty backyard, friends coming into town, a Father’s Day celebration to squeeze in there somewhere. It’s going to be a busy week!

I’m going to take a quick week’s break from blogging. It’s not the I won’t have lots I want to share with you…I just don’t think I’ll have time to blog it! So I’ll take my bazillion photos and be back on Monday, June 21. Well, I might pop in once next week if I need a break from the testosterone rampaging around here!

I might post some photos to Facebook, so keep an eye on me there.

Enjoy your week, my blogging friends!

Pretty

Ah, the great backyard makeover!

Things are coming along nicely! Nothing like a couple of big events in the backyard to motivate us to get it all prettied up! Oldest Texas Boy graduated from Texas Tech…and we’re having a big old graduation party for him Saturday. Then, of course, the Magnificent Rehearsal Dinner ™ next week.

In the upper garden, I’m waiting until the last minute to finish cutting off the remains of the tulips and daffodils. They are pretty browned out by now. We have one more flat of petunias to put in here, then I think we’ll call it quits.

We got some more furniture for the courtyard area…but most of the time people just perch all along the walls.

We got some comfortable wicker furniture for the gazebo. SuperGuy rescreened the gazebo and replaced the door. We got a new rug. (I think it’s cute, but it needs to be flattened out again!) The gazebo has a ceiling fan. So nice in the summer time. All this photo needs is me and an ice cold beer, don’t you think?

I’m getting pretty excited, can you tell?? :mrgreen:
