wedding, perfect day, and pics

[]

 

 

 

 

i had the nicest day yesterday. i woke up a bit tired (from the wedding) but got up anyway and  had a shower. after that, i got dressed and woke up dennis, because it was raining and i didn’t want to walk to my scrapbooking thing. i had a great time scrappin’ with a friendly and fun group of ladies. the consultant’s sister is a friend of mine from grade school so i sat across from her. i bought the album kit i’ve had my eye ("little boy") on

and got 3 layouts (nearly) done with it. we were able to use the consultant’s cutting tools and such but had to bring along whatever else we needed. next time, i’ll have to take along my stamps and more stickers and paper.  live and learn.

i got a ride home with my neighbour after the crop and came home to find an excited sawyer (dennis picked him up from my mom’s while i was gone.) he showed me a few of his toys; apparently he’d missed them and me.after that, i went upstairs to check out the bedroom (dennis painted window sills while i was out and sawyer was supposed to be napping) and decided to nap. *hee hee* dennis and sawyer wondered where i was and caught me though. we played with sawyer under the blankets for a bit (the things that amuse toddlers) and then came downstairs for supper. after eating, dennis went up to do some more work and sawyer drank his bedtime milk and watched The Wiggles while i did dishes. it was just a nice family moment. i felt warm inside.

once sawyer was in bed, i put my books back on my book shelf up in our room while dennis touched up a window sill. while his drill charged, we watched 300. what a good movie. simple plot but still a captivating narrative and touching scenes. i really liked it. the filming techniques were reminiscent of Sin City, which i also really liked. both movies really depend on taste.

the wedding saturday night was a lot of fun. one of the couples in our group moved back from california recently. they’d been under contract (they’re nurses) for 3 years and decided to come back, buy a house, and soon start a family. the wife of that couple is FUN. i wasn’t feeling the greatest the whole time but i did have fun. k & u.v. were there too so that was great too! u.v. was missing her new baby. awwwwww. they were troopers and stayed for quite a while.

so. pictures. snapfish is being a bugger and i hate using photobucket. argh.

Saturday at the wedding

because the church was so small and we were running late, we got to sit in the back room and watch the wedding on the wall! they had a camera out front running to a laptop which was hooked up to a projector. it was on a bit of a delay, so it was pretty funny. we’d see someone being ushered down the aisle and then there they’d be in the back room with us a second later.  that was, by far, the most interesting wedding i’ve ever attended. i found it to be kinda fun. the bridesmaids dresses look like they’re teal on the screen but i assure you, they are not.

at the hall, the decora

tions were gorgeous. it’s the best i’ve ever seen that room decorated (and we’ve been there many times.)

us, silly and serious

the bedroom (almost done!)

dennis figured out how to paint the window (and put up curtains) above the stairs! *eep*

as you’ll recall, the before

and the not-quite-done after

ta-da! this pic does it no justice, but i’ll have more as the room gets put back together and when it’s not raining outside and all dark and gloomy. at least the bed end is done.

dennis is braveeeeeeeeee love it!

August 20, 2007

The bedroom’s looking good! And just looking at the pictures of him up on that thing makes me wanna pass out. LOL!

August 20, 2007

aye…dennis is standing on the ladder..omg I’d be soooo scared…I agree…he’s super brave! I love the new room….I just love it!

Why did yuo say i’m glad our yard is fenced? I know christmas is months away, but you never know what could happen between now and Dec 1st 07. The way things are going right now if my bf has to keep replacing things he wont have money to buy me the digital picture frame that I want since it’s over $100, but under $175. If I could drive I would rather do that than ride a bike or walk, but that is just me. How does Sawyer feel that you can’t drive? Does he want to go out often and if so does that mean you have to tell him you can’t take him out because you don’t drive? I don’t know how one could give themselves a bloody nose. Unless for instance if Dennis was hitting the thing boxers use to make their hands and arms stronger and it hit him in the face than it might cause a bloody nose(not sure what it’s called, but it hangs up and if put on the ground it would stand up). If you know what it’s called let me know. I figured in order to practice fighting for kickboxing you had to have someone else do it with you, but wasn’t sure. When Dennis had black eyes was it from someone else who was practicing with him who gave it to him.

If you walked to the scrapbooking class or whatever it’s called how long would it take you to get there. That is nice you got a ride back home from the class. Glad you had a nice time at the wedding.

August 20, 2007

Awww Sawyer is CUTE! he DID miss you! aww Sweet scrapbooking kit thingy! you always look so preeeeetty in the pictures!

August 20, 2007

AW you two look cute!

August 20, 2007

oooo, I like that bedroom! I love the pic of you two also!! Glad you had such a wonderful day!

My mom told me this and I wanted to know if this is true. Anyone can get your bfs first and last name and his address by looking up the phone number. You are putting yourself and your bf at risk in calling strangers. People one only knows from the internet ARE strangers, since they can paint a picture of themselves over the internet that is all fantasy, not truth. Sometimes the person one think they are getting to know on the computer can be a stalker, a murderer, a rapist, a thief, or just a regular old loser of various types. It’s safer to meet people at church, the store, the neighborhood, at work etc. I said this back. What I was saying is I block the phone number so people online can’t look up the number and get my bfs first and last name and address. It’s ok you feel I am putting myself and my bf at risk in calling strangers. I guess in a way you are right that people one only knows from the internet ARE strangers, since they can paint a picture of themselves over the internet that is all fantasy, not truth. Not everyone online lies about who they are.

(c) I know sometimes the person one think they are getting to know on the computer can be a stalker, a murderer, a rapist, a thief, or just a regular old loser of various types. I know it’s safer to meet people at church, the store, the neighborhood, at work etc, but since I don’t go out much to meet new people it’s hard for me to meet people. I hope telling you this doesn’t upset you and ifit does sorry to hear that. I am not trying to say you are a stalker, thief, etc. I trust that you are who you say you are. I hope you feel I am who I say I am.

Woah Dennia is brave, my dad does things like that and I hate it *shudders*. But it looks awesome :o)

August 20, 2007

re: but of course. i’ll rent a jet and we can fit the entire fam. 😀

August 20, 2007

It’s gorgeous!! I love the stripes! And aww, you and Dennis look so cute and happy together in those pics. I love them!

August 20, 2007

Oh dear I nearly had a heart attack looking at that ladder set up! *faints* LOL Love the stripes 🙂 RYN: Yeah I know $30 isn’t too bad but I’m such a frugal person, I try to find things on clearance!! If it were just jeans I wouldn’t get them tailored but these are nice black pants that I’ll be able to use all fall and winter so might as well invest in them!! I’ll put up pics beforeand after I get them tailored.

August 20, 2007

RYN: I’m just over 5’5, and I have a short waist. Short never fits me though for some reason they end up looking like flood pants!

August 20, 2007

I forget all your questions, but I’ll try to answer them lol. RYN: We’re not within walking distance of anything. It’s take a couple of miles to get out of our neighborhood alone. Black Christmas is a stuuuupid “horror” flick that came out recently. Kevin isn’t thrilled w/me working, but it’s in the evening close to when Spencer goes to bed. The extra $ will contribute to a second car pymt if

August 20, 2007

wants or just give us more spending money. It’ll also give him some free time after Spencer has gone to bed. We shall see how it works out!

August 20, 2007

Dennis is brave! I’d be too afraid of falling lol. That’s clever, though. The bedroom is looking good. 🙂 Love the wedding pictures, too. Looks like a fun time!!

August 20, 2007

The wedding looks great. Oh my goodness Dennis is so brave, i would have passed out lol Your bedroom is looking awesome!

August 20, 2007

I know Im jumping ahead of the entry but OMG the bedroom is gorgeous!!! I have to admit that freaked me out though when I saw the shot of him painting that window!! And I just love that decoration in the hall. I have to agree 300 was a really good movie. Glad you had a family moment 🙂 arent they the best?

August 20, 2007

ryn: lol, it was just spencer crying. what a weeny. 🙂

August 20, 2007

sounds like a good day! I love the decorations at the wedding!

August 20, 2007

ryn: thanks lol. and my hair totally looks like ass in that picture too. I recommend a smoothing shampoo to make your hair shiny. It works wonders. And when I do style it (which i did the day before that pic, so it was just brushed out in that pic) I use a 1.5-2 inch round brush with my hair dryer on high with the heat on medium (if you can’t control that just go with medium) and I put moussein it (expensive mousse from Aveda but any mousee is fine. just as long as there is something between your hair and the heat) and I blow it out. Sometimes I flip upside down to add volume. Then I take my flat iron and flatten it out a bit so it gets shinier and a bit less frizzy. (The flat iron adds shine as long as there is product on your hair). Then I smooth some Biosilk on it. (or any kind of anti-frizz liquid serum) And spray it with Fructus High shine hairspray or Dove hairspray. Yeah. it sounds like a lot of work, but if you knew me at all you’d know that it’s like only 15 minuts of work, if that, and it’s way easier than it sounds. Do you have an avon rep? there is a really good deep conditioner in the Campaign 19 brochure…

Im hosting a card making party (stampin’ up) on sept 15.. haha you should come. 😀

August 20, 2007

the room looks gorgeous. omg! Dennis is giving me heart failure in the picture. I can’t even imagine seeing that IRL!!

August 20, 2007

Love, love, love the pictures of you two!

Why did you explained that you can just let the dog out to go to the bathroom and that is why you said i’m glad our yard is fenced. Yes, I did have to take the dog outside on Saturday afternoon to use the bathrom. Usually if my bf is home he will take the dog outside to use the bathroom. I have had to take the dog outside to use the bathroom for the past couple months when my bf is at work. I onlyjust started doing this. We also have a fenced in yard, but my bf never takes his dog outside to use the bathroom unless she is on a leash. It’s ok you don’t know the name of the punching thing that boxers use that I was asking about. If someone is sparring can’t they still get hurt. That is good Sawyer isn’t deprived of riding in a vehicle. I mean it’s good he can get in a vehicle once in a while to go places. Why did you say nothing much? That is good you feel what my mom said about they are strangers is right. That is good you feel a lot of people on OD are trustworthy.

(c) I would rather drive than walk because you can get places much faster in a car than by walking. Plus if it’s raining or very cold out you can still get in a car and get places you need to go.

August 20, 2007

You guys look great!

August 20, 2007

Everything’s looking good. I like how your bangs turned out for the wedding. I am forever trying to accomplish the Angle Bang and you captured it really well in that first photo. The pic of your husband on the ladder put a little knot in my stomach – he’s brave for doing that and you’re brave for watching!!!

August 20, 2007

Holy Crap- nice room! ryn: I am 5’10 almost. 176.5 cm to be exact 😉 Hence, why I like TALL men!

August 20, 2007

you two are sooo cute!! and its the best feeling coming home to an excited child whos missed mommy glad you guys had a nice time at the wedding and as everyone else said dennis is brave up there 🙂

Can you tell me if the picture of the dog I shared shows the whiskers and colors that my mom said the dog has?

It’s ok you feel I am not interested in answers you give me for questions I ask you. I do like to get answers back from you so please don’t think I am not interested in your answers, but if you do sorry to hear that. My bf takes the dog out on the leash when he takes her out to use the bathroom so that way she will go to the bathroom in the area of the backyard he likes the dog to go to thebathroom. Especially because if she poops it will not be in an area of the grass my bf will step in. That is good what my mom said about the dog is true. I am not saying what my mom tells me about certain things isn’t true. I just like to see if others agree with what my mom said because sometimes ppl don’t always agree with someone else about something such as the color of an animal. One person may see the same thing differently than someone else if you know what I mean.

August 21, 2007

Ooooh I love the room!

That is good you agree that one doesn’t always see the same thing the same way. I will try harder to not ask the same thing to you more than once. Is it ok to use what you said in a note to me in a note back to you so you know what I am talking about.

Is this true about the freelance jobs you have tried to find and get hired to do. How many frelance jobs have you had and when did you first start looking for freelance jobs? Do you have to show a resume to get frelance jobs? I ask this because I got an email on Friday talking about jobs one can do from home, but most of the jobs listed in the email one has ot have experience before they can get the job. For instance to get a customer service job you need a landline phone and at least 6 months experience doing customer service. As a freelancer, you won’t have the security of a full-time job. Projects could be sporadic. You may spend more time finding work than working when you start out. But you set your own hourly or per-project rates.

I know you said you are doing freelance writting. Is the jobs I was talking about the customer service job or something else. That is good you are fortunate enough to have a husband who makes enough money to keep you home with your child AND to make it possible for you to be a freelance writer. I hadn’t thouht when it comes to really important things, delivery confirmation or insurance are both likely best. I hadn’t thought it is nice to have that peace of mind, knowing the package has not completely disappeared or been lost.

August 21, 2007

OMG I about shit my pants seeing Dennis paint on that ladder! No way in hell I could do it. You looked gorgeous at the wedding! I knew you would though. It’s about time you had a nice perfect day 🙂 kristen
