Horsing Around...

I just felt like posting this...it was taken like 5 1/2 million years ago, but it's not everyday you see the Banana Republic/Brooks Brothers brand rep playing cowboy.  He loves it.  Though, as  you will see, he can't fight the urge to dress the part...he's sporting a pearlsnap in honor of visiting, what we affectionately call, 'the farm.'  Growing up we always referred to my (maternal) grandma's house as 'the farm.'  Located down south in Kenedy, Tx....actually in the middle of nowhere.  My mom and I have already planned the future of my children.  They'll be the super cute little fashionable ones at home and then will have their little wranglers, button-downs and boots for 'the farm.'  Brent will resist, but my mom's already made up her mind....probably already purchased the clothes!

WeDdInG uPdAtE!
The parents finally met!! The Shannons made the long journey to SA this past weekend to meet the Jungs.  We ate way too much food, but did manage to make it out to the reception hall and do some wedding planning.  

Brent & I seem to only do wedding planning these days, but it's coming along.  We've delegated certain aspects of the function to each other (and others...if you're so lucky) and are progressing nicely.  Invitations are almost done; Brent's on top of things and putting as much pressure as he can on our photographer to get us the jpeg.  The wedding dress, now that I can say the word without crying, is better.   I'm still not quite sure how I want it to look, but my seamstress from Peanut Festival (that's another story if you're not familiar) has agreed to maybe assist...which is FABULOUS!  Shoes, one word, ugh!  Flowers!! We officially booked a florist today!  We both like her.  If she messes this up though...well, I hope she has good insurance. ;-)

Things seem to be coming together.  I can't wait to get these 'big' things out of the way so we can start planning all the fun little things!!

Mothers and Daughters

Just a warning, I am standing on my 'soapbox', so turn back now if you don't want to hear my rant of the day. I have strong opinions, so read at your own risk. :) I just watched this video, Mothers and Daughters , and had to share it. I watched a very disturbing episode of Oprah yesterday (the DVR recorded another episode for some reason). I won't go in to details, but despite all of the discussion I was very upset and surprised by the actions of the mother. She was basically the opposite of what a mother should reflect. She offered no love, support, encouragement and in this particular situation protection for any of her children. I particularly like how Elder Ballard mentions what expectations we as women are presented with today. Pointing out how, women are often made to look silly, and objectified. Our roles, that we are divinely given, are continually undermined . Women seek guidance on how we should look, what we should wear etc. from people that really do

What's Fabric?

David's Bridal Highly Educated & Well Informed Employee: Thank you for calling DB. How can I help you? Me: Hi, yes I'm trying to order several yards of fabric. DBHE&WIE: I'm sorry, what? I don't understand you? Me: I'm trying to order some fabric. DBHE&WIF: order what? Me: Fabric. F-A-B-R-I-C (yes, I spelled it out for her just mistakenly thinking this would in some way make the communicating proces easier). DBHE&WIE: I don't know what that is. Me: (stunned, but I'm used to working with stupid people on the phone...here's my attempt to 'dumb it down') the stuff the clothes are made of--cotton, taffeta..? DBHE&WIE: Oh! Oh, I don't know...let me transfer you to alterations. Long story short: alterations first language was NOT English. She transferred me back... Hung up--called another location. They're going to call me back tomorrow to let me know. ps Tanlee-you owe me.

Be Thankful

It's that time of year again!  Time to spend hours cooking/preparing, minutes eating (WAY too much food), all surrounded in the loud, wonderful chaos of family. The food, shopping and preparations can quickly and easily take over and  result in overlooking the real meaning of the holiday. Thanksgiving invites us all to reflect on our many blessings and remember to be grateful.  As you might expect, the things I am most grateful for are those that you can't buy.  This year we welcomed Brynlynn into our home and are SO GRATEFUL for her; that she is here, that she is healthy, that our family is forever.   I'm incredibly grateful for my knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  I'm grateful for the countless blessing He has bestowed upon me and my family.  I am grateful for Brent; for the man and husband that he is and more importantly the father that he is.  I'm so grateful for all of my immediate and extended family...I'm not under any false impression that it'
