Time to Say Goodbye

Image
Saturday afternoon Chaz and Olivia came over to open their gifts.  They got so many great gifts, gift cards, and money. They're so loved. It was fun to have them over for a while to eat and visit with. Then Olivia went and gathered some more of her things from her room. This girl just isn't quit ready to give up her room and childhood/teenage things. What she left behind we will just box up and get Tyler moved in to her room. She can go through the boxes when she has more time. I felt blessed she wanted to hang out with family before they headed back to Idaho. They left the same time as Lindsey and Isaac. They followed each other to Meridian. Isaac and Lindsey stayed at Isaac's parents and Olivia and Chaz had a night in a hotel. Sunday morning they will head on to Rexburg and get all their things moved in to their new apartment.  As excited as I am for these two, it was still so hard to say our goodbyes. I miss Lindsey and Olivia so much. They are my best friends! We've...

The "After Party"

Image
Paying other companies to do most of the set up and take down of the reception makes clean up easier! But it was still work for us to gather all of our things, ie yard toys, lights, fire pit, interior decor, and get the flowers and gifts all loaded up in multiple cars. You'd think we'd all want to go straight to bed at the end of it all. But just like we did after Lindsey's wedding, we stayed up even later just decompressing. Sitting and visiting. Going over the day and talking about all the good things and how much fun everyone had.  Lindsey was such a sweetheart and rubbed my feet for me.  We did it! Planned our second daughter's wedding. Only a year and a half after the first one!

The Dinner

Image
After pictures we headed to the venue where they had begun serving drinks and had snacks bowls on tables while guests waited for the us and the bride and groom to get there after the picture session was done. We were blessed with a beautiful day so the outside patio and green yard were perfect for the kids to be out and play and guests could sit on the patio furniture with their drinks. I felt like it was just perfect! Chaz's Jeep is too high up for Olivia to step up into with her wedding dress on so he lifted her into it and out of it when they got to the venue.  It's not their home threshold but at least I know he will take care of her.  When you first walk in to the venue this is what you saw! The neon sign was a surprise for Olivia and Chaz. Well, Olivia mostly because when she showed me her inspiration photos of things she wanted for her wedding, the archway she wanted had a neon sign. She said she wanted that...well except that "I know we can't do the sign. But I...

Getting Wedding Stuff Dunn!

Image
The day before the wedding and we are getting busy with All. The. Things. Wedding! Christy is in the kitchen non stop! It's officially her kitchen for three days.  Brian went with Jaime and I to run some errands. Grabbed some groceries as well as some flowers. Getting the last of the details taken care of. We took over decorations, flowers, yard games, and a fire pit over to the reception venue. It was fun to see them begin getting things set up. It was also fun to see that I wasn't stressing over getting everything set up and decorated! Having an event planner is way less stressful. I just say what we want, schedule things and times for rentals and flowers and then others take care of it all! It was good for me to have less stress right now. The last wedding preparations had me stressing so much I was actually losing sleep over it.  Back to the house and see Christy has made lots of progress on the cake! Chaz has left to have his time with his groomsmen so it's time for th...
