My Parents came to town for my brother's, wife's, brother's, wedding (confusing huh.) One of my Mom's and my favorite things to do when she comes to town is to walk through the Bellagio's gardens. They are so beautiful and they change them with every season. So, after picking my parents up from the airport we headed over to the gardens. Emily loved the big pumpkins and the tree that could move his eyes.
On Thursday and Friday we were pretty much wrapped up with the wedding. It was beautiful and Joe and I had a good time at all the festivities. We were definitely well fed for two days. We only had one major mishap. We decided to get a hotel room on Friday just so after the Temple ceremony we could go nap, shower and get ready for the "formal" reception. We got to the hotel and realized that my black formal dress was still hanging in our closet. After weighing the options we decided to check into the hotel and then I would run to the mall to see what I could find real quick. I was a bit embarassed when the lady at the check-in desk informed me that our reservation was at the OTHER Fiesta hotel on the OTHER side of town. OOPS! We decided we would just cancel the room and drive the hour and twenty minutes home, get my dress and come back. No such luck! Because I had made the reservation on line I couldn't cancel the reservation and get my money back. Long story short... My mom and I found a dress in 25 min. at the Mall, & headed over to the right hotel. My dad and Joe slept for an hour or so and we got ready and then checked out. I think we just rented a room by the hour? It was so good to see my parents and brother Tim and his family for the weekend. And, I love my new dress!

how do you manage to look so cute and put together in all your pictures. your hairs always perfect your makeup is perfect you actually have jewelry on!i don't remember the last time i wore jewelry...oh ya before kids! and hey i too love tennis before ada i played everyweek with a couple of friends.
I love your new dress too! :) i have never really played tennis all that much. Ive always felt super uncoordinated-completely the opposite from how I feel when I shoot some hoops...remember how we used to try to kick each others butts at church basketball? I was always sooo afraid to play the alderwood ward because of you! i havent played in years and always crave a good game.

This was a good post for getting to know you a little better. What are you reading now? I love to read, too, and wish that were all I had to do all day long! See you soon.
It's about time we got an update!!
I love all of your hobbies too and can't wait for next weekend.
Um, a few things here... we need a picture of "the dress" and the title of the book you are reading. I am in a book club and love it. We'll have to swap good reads.
