The Wedding Saga: The Wedding - Ceremony
We trundled up the narrow stairs, Mom to watch, Heather to take pictures and us three girls went outside and around to the front, where we would be entering. We realized that no one had any way to light the incense burners that Mom had made for the girls to carry. Angela was going to run get a lighter, but the music had started it it was go time, ( Read more... ) -
The Wedding Saga: The Wedding - Getting Ready
I woke up and looked around. The house was still quiet but quickly waking up. I don't remember feeling nervous, just ready and excited, but it's weird that as I'm writing this and trying to remember that day (I took no notes, alas, all I have are pictures documenting the day at the moment), it's strange that I feel a bit of nervousness now. In any ( Read more... ) -
The Wedding Saga: Saturday Pt. 2
OK let's see. We left off at the part where Steve and I rode with Jace and his grandpa to the "church" in which we would be married, further discussing ceremony options. (I say "church" because it is not a practicing church any longer, but St James Historical Building. I will henceforth refer to it as the church, anyway.) A small group of family ( Read more... ) -
The Wedding Saga: Saturday Pt. 1
After the previous night's drama and lack of sleep, I sure wasn't feeling 100%. I was forced to eat a little eggs and bacon, and Mom & Ken arrived to help with what they could, and sat down to breakfast with me. Today was to be another day full of getting stuff done, as the big moment was 24 hours away and counting down fast. I watched and picked ( Read more... ) -
The Wedding Saga: Friday Pt. 2
Eventually I herded everyone into the bowling alley and we got set up with pizza, beer and pop. Mike and Chris wandered in, as they had had to work and weren't able to go play Airsoft. After a bit of bowling, Mom and Ken arrived as well. So we all bowled, laughed, talked, and played a little bit of DDR and two hours was up very quickly. We made it ( Read more... ) -
The Wedding Saga: Friday Pt 1
I'm writing these at work and Friday is taking a lot longer than I thought it would...I took one page of shorthand notes and the following 5 paragraphs elaborate on only 8 handwritten lines! So I'll do the rest as I have time in as many parts as I have to, but I'll get it done ( Read more... ) -
The Wedding Saga: Thursday
Thursday morning I woke up to the sound of Jessica's morning sickness : / Then we had blueberry pancakes and bacon while watching a couple old episodes of The Muppet Show. I had never really watched any of it other than The Muppet Review, and I thought it was really enjoyable and more adult than I had thought it would be. It was surprising how ( Read more... ) -
The Wedding Saga: Wednesday
Wednesday morning we left bright and early, about 7AM (cst)- only about an hour after we actually meant to be on the road. Not even 15 minutes later, after some highway changes just outside the city, I glanced at the GPS and saw it was frantically telling me to make a U-turn. I asked Steve why it might be saying that, and of course the answer was ( Read more... ) -

As many of you may know, I had LASIK surgery performed this past Saturday afternoon ( Read more... ) -
They are Blowing up my Apartment Building!
Well, I have no idea how they are going to destroy it or even if they are going to destroy the whole thing, but the end of my building, and I am right on the end, is going to be taken down to make room for the widening of I-44. (Tearing down my house to make way for a highway? That sounds like a familiar theme from somewhere...) They brought me in ( Read more... )
