Wedding Part 5/ A Few of My Favorite Photos

Getting Katelyn into her Dress

Matthew really wanted to wear a bow-tie.

The power of a two year old saying "Look!" (Give Cody a break. He can't see.)

Matt doing the "I'm married!" shout.

Ahh. We love our baby girl. :)

My kiddos. The only thing that would make this picture better is if Matt were in it. I have no idea where he went.

Wedding Part 2/ The Venue

Choosing The BellTower Courtyard for Katelyn and Matthew's reception was the single best decision that Don and I made with regards to the wedding. Don was completely sold on the idea that he personally would not have to set anything up or take anything down and I was relieved to have Julie and her staff help us carry out all of Katelyn's ideas and expectations. They were extremely pleasant to work with and I highly recommend using The BellTower for any big event.

Katelyn really wanted Key Lime Tarts and they were divine!

Our Newest Addition

Welcome to the family Matthew. We love you!

Feeling Just a Notch or Two Above Hillbilly and Hooker

My daughter is getting married in May and I have to buy myself a new dress. Most women enjoy shopping for new clothes. I don't. I have been to all of the retail clothing stores in town that have reasonable prices (like JCPenney and Kohl's) and have not found a single thing that I like. The fact that I could stand to lose a few pounds doesn't help, but body weight is not the point I want to make here. This is the problem. I have had to resort to shopping at the more expensive department stores and I have major insecurity issues when I walk through their doors. I feel like there might as well be a big black tattoo on my forehead that says "I don't belong here." You know, kinda like Vivian (Julia Roberts) in the Pretty Woman scene where she is shopping in a boutique on Rodeo Drive in her prostitute garb. Yep. I can totally relate. That is exactly how I feel, only I wear "camping clothes" (jeans and a t-shirt) instead of hooker attire.





This reminds me of a time in the '90s, when Don and I drove a 1985 Chevy Astro Van and decided to buy tickets to the Parade of Homes. For those of you who do not know what the Parade of Homes is, it is an opportunity for the public to tour brand new houses, usually in the $1,000,000 +  range. Seriously, we might as well have been riding in the Clampett contraption from the television series the Beverly Hillbilly's.
