Headin' to a Weddin'

Today we load up the car and head back to Oklahoma. It's gonna be a BIG weekend, an especially important weekend - our oldest son is getting married.  We are so happy for him.  And so pleased to be adding a new member to our family. 

When a child marries it changes the entire dynamics of the extended family, just as it does when a  baby is born into the family.  I enjoy having our family grow.  Our new daughter-in-law will bring a new dimension to us and we are excited and happy about this.

Geez Louise, I'm nauseatingly serious
aren't I?! 
(clearing my throat)

I've got my "Mother of the groom" dress.

I've got my Spanx (to help me hold it all together).

Did I mention I'm allergic to Spanx?

Yes I am, which just goes to show

you what I am willing to do

to look a few pounds thinner.

I may be red and "hivey" later

but a girl's gotta do
what a girl's gotta do.

Can I get an AMEN?

You can be sure I'll return with

lots of photos, cause you know

that's how I roll!

(hopefully I won't lose my

camera on this trip)

And, as if  a wedding is not enough

excitement, we will also be

celebrating my Mom's 83rd

Birthday this weekend!!

All these great occassions include

cake - I'm gonna need to buy

a larger size of Spanx if all

this partying continues. . .

I am gonna have so much
to tell you when I get home!
