Wedding Festivities

Colin and Katie got married 2 Fridays ago, June 18th, 2010.  The weather was marvelous and everything went according to plan...at least that's what I think. They got married in the SLC temple, had a luncheon at Rodizio, then a lovely garden reception, and finally they were off on their honeymoon on a Mexican Riviera cruise.

This is a picture of a picture..sorry about the poor quality.

The Craigo's. Aunt Kathy, Uncle Reid, Christie and my mom. We waited to take pictures on the stairs at the temple for 45 minutes!

This is the sign that was on the window, which you can't see in the photo below.

Trade imaging make the signs and vinyl lettering.  This was behind the head table.

I love wedding! I love everything about weddings and I've decided that in my next life I will be a wedding planner.  My parents allowed me to plan the wedding luncheon at Rodizio and I had a fabulous time making cake pops, dipping strawberries and creating a dessert buffet, buying black, white and red candy, as well as designing and creating vinyl window coverings, signs, pictures and place cards (which were my most favorite thing!) and gathering and hanging family wedding pictures-some dating back to the 1890's.

I found lots of inspiration from various blogs, magazines and pictures. I am very happy with how the luncheon turned out, the dessert buffet and I'm glad that Colin and Katie Bug liked it.

These are the place card/ guest gift.  I had them made out of clear 1/2 inch acrylic which was laser cut and then fired with a torch to smooth the edges.  Pretty awesome!!!!

Busy

  Last week was very busy.  Bart and I had something going on every evening, in addition to the day to day things.  Being busy isn't bad, especially since we were partying, eating and visiting with family but it left us TIRED.

Monday: Tried to go to clinicals but locked my keys in the car because I got flustered when I saw water spraying out of a pipe by the house.  Did wedding stuff the rest of the day.

Tuesday: Carters 19th Birthday!  I planned a party at Boondocks with the family.

Wednesday: Flowers from Costco. Lunch with the Leeflang girls. Temple in the evening with Katie Bug.

Thursday: WEDDING stuff all day.  Making cake pops, dipping strawberry's, arranging flowers, setting up Rodizio Grill for 3.5 hours.

Friday: Wedding, wedding and more wedding.

Saturday: Finally had to go to work, then went and saw Toy Story 3.

Sunday: Fathers Day-Dinner and presents.

    I plan on posting more pictures and details from the wedding but right now I want to show Boondocks pictures.

Laser tag!  It was great to see my parents running around and shooting people. Neither of them had ever played laser tag before.

Only 3 days until Colin's wedding when this picture was taken. Katie couldn't come to the birthday party because she was partying with her friends.

I love the go carts and slick track, that is why I planned the party at Boondocks. I also found out that on your birthday you get a free unlimited pass, so I signed Carter up.

Bart and I came in last and second to last at mini golfing. I don't know how everybody else got so good...

Maybe it was the kissing :)

The weather was warm, so the bumper boats were fun. Carter is drenched, I'm not sure if you can tell from the photo.  I think Carter is a great kid and we will miss him when he leaves on his mission in 2 months. I'm sure that 19 will treat him well. xoxo

Recommendations.?.

I am asking you fellow bloggers (the 5 that may read my blog) to give me recommendations on some good books to read. I have finished with my spring semester and instead of reading text books and research articles and would like expand my repertoire. :)

Please give me your suggestions!
