This and That

Yes, another couple of weeks gone by and I haven't posted!  Yes, I am still alive and have tons of projects piling up.  Lots of fun assignments that I am working on, as well as some trade projects with my junky friend, Debbie.  I will share soon!

Today, my Mom and Dad are celebrating their 39th Wedding Anniversary, they really have an amazing story of how they made the trek from Louisiana to Manti, Utah to be married in the LDS Temple. {click here to see the Manti Temple}  Both of them are converts to the LDS church and knew it was important to be married in the temple, my mom had to get special permission to be married before her year anniversary of her baptism by President Harold B. Lee.  They drove their little yellow VW bug {named Agnes} with chaperones {their home teachers}, they hardly had any money since they were in college.  But, the sad thing was they didn't have one friend or family member there because they were not supportive at the time to my parents.  I cannot imagine not having that kind of support on my wedding day!  They are such amazing examples to me to always do what is right, no matter what others think.  They have been so blessed in so many ways making that sacrifice at that time.  I love you mom and dad!!

I made them a mini album with some of their wedding pictures that were taken after they got back.

My dad had tons of hair, check out those burns!!!  My mom made her own wedding dress, it is gorgeous!  I wish I was that talented in the sewing department.

My son informs us late Saturday "oh, by the way I am running for Student Council and it starts on Monday".  It is a good thing that I had everything on had to make posters, hand-outs and these pins for his friends to wear at school.  I had 58 brooches on hand! :)  I really don't think I could've done it without my cricut machine!!  His theme was "Captain Aaron" {like Captain America}, his speech this morning was pretty cool.  Whether he makes it or not this has been a great experience for him {and for me making these really quick}!
