I must be crazy

It's almost midnight, and I'm still up. I really must be crazy. Well, Christie & Galen are on their honeymoon. I've talked to her a couple of times and they are having a good time.


I've been playing around with some digital scrapbooking to make a book for Adrienne. I did one for Kelli & Morgan a while back, so I figured it was about time I did one for Adrienne. Anyway, I'm putting it here to get opinions. Mainly I'm doing it so Carrie can see it. :) It's not bad, but I love the picture of her. It was taken back in March when we went to Richmond to see the Germains one weekend.
Ok, Carrie, so tell me what you think.
Well, it's way late and I have to get up and go to work tomorrow. Plus I need to get the house cleaned up for Kelli's softball banquet this weekend.
I'll post more later.

We made it!

The wedding is over! and we survived. Christie & Galen are on their way to FL for a cruise to the Bahamas. Over all, everything went pretty smooth. It's hard to believe my little girl is now an old married woman. :) I looked at Jeff at one point and told him one down 3 to go and he just looked at me. At least we have a while before any of the others are even close to getting married. I don't have all the pictures yet, but here are a few.
Of course we have the happy couple first.
I hate myself in this picture (of course) but its a good one of mom, Christie & I. I wish I had thought to have one with Amy too. It was just the 4 of us for so long, that it would have been good to have one of all of us together.
and lastly is Christie's dad, Jeff (I know I must have a thing for guys with the name Jeff) walking her down the aisle. He cleans up nice.
Today, Amy & Bryan had Houston baptized. He is still such a little cutie. Betsy & Todd (Bryan's sister and her husband) had their sons Riley & Wes baptized too. Wes is such a little cutie and a flirt.
Update on the kitchen, we have our new cabinets. They look wonderful! I've got to call the countertop people and get them over here to do the template and to pick out some granite. So far the biggest problem we've hit with the kitchen is that the Pergo flooring we have has been discontinued. And for a little while it looked like we could possibly have to replace the entire kitchen floor. But, I did a little digging and found a place in Long Island, NY that still has some. So we ordered 2 boxes and hopefully they will be here tomorrow or Tues. As soon as they get here, I get to repair the floor. Our neighbor across the street is going to help me get started (he's done this before) and he's going to cut some plywood to fill in the area in the floor that we cut out the other cabinet. He said it's easy to do and wouldn't take me but an hour or so to pull up the existing floor and relay the new boards to cover the area where the cabinet was cut out. I have pictures of the kitchen right now with the cabinets (with a temporary countertop) and the hole in the floor. I'll try to post them in a couple of days. Jeff and some of the kids he knows from Lord Botetourt are still sanding the pool. We postponed the Softball banquet to this coming Sat so that we would have time to finish the pool, and it looks like we're still not going to have it finished by then. I can't postpone the party again. so it looks like we'll have to get out the slip & slide and some sprinklers. I know the kids won't care, but I hate that it's still not done. We're having 100 degree weather, and we still don't have the pool open. Of course, that's part of the problem. It's too hot to work on it during the day, so we're having to wait until the sun goes down which doesn't leave a whole lot of time for working on it.
Well, I need to go drop an email to the softball team with some reminders about the party then it's off to bed. I have to get up and go to work in the morning. Boy, am I ready for a vacation. :)
