More pictures...

I've neglected to get the other pictures up from the wedding. It's been a little hectic at work with several meetings and other things. Anyway, here are a few more. One more story about John. We were waiting for everyone to get their sparkling grape juice so the best man and maid of honor could make their toast to the bride and groom. John likes the grape juice and was drinking his fast I told him to save it for the toast he said "I don't want any toast with mine". Very cute...I had to explain what a toast was. =)

Great weekend!!

I have lots of pictures to share! I won't share them all in this first post. First the kindergarten celebration was fun. It was very relaxed and informal. No ceremony or anything. We just went to his classroom and saw his work and then went out on to the playground and watched them play together. The first picture is of him and his friend Alyssa Dear. This is his best little girlfriend. It was kind of sad though...her parents weren't able to be there at the celebration for whatever reason.
The next picture is of John and Brianna at the rehearsal dinner. Everything went perfect for the wedding. It was great. John did excellent. I couldn't have been more proud. Everything was perfect for Brianna and Ben as well. They looked beautiful and couldn't have seemed more happy.
The 3rd picture is John and Brianna before the wedding. And then the 4th is of John and the flower girl Hannah. They got along very well. I will post pictures of the 2 of them dancing together a little later. Very, very cute!! John told Hannah's mom that this was his 3rd time as a ring barrier and he was ready to be promoted to groomsmen! I guess we'll see how that goes...

Here Comes the Bride...

We leave tomorrow to head up to NC for my work study, Brianna's wedding. John will be the ring bearer, or ringer as he calls it. This is her with Alex last month at her couples shower at the house. My kids adore her. And honestly so do I. She's like a little sister or maybe even a daughter although I'm not old enough to be her mom. I'm looking forward to the wedding...it'll be a busy weekend but I'm sure it will be beautiful. I'll share pictures.
We also have John's kindergarten celebration in the morning before we leave. He's excited about that as well. It should be a great day.

Training Wheels No Moore!

After a couple of days of intense practice the training wheels have finally come off!! There was a lot of pride in this milestone I must say for my little 6 year old. He was so proud of himself he could hardly stand it! And of course we were proud of him as well. I know there are many, many more milestones to come. Including his kindergarten (graduation) celebration on Friday. Shon asked me if I was going to cry...I said no...hmmm...maybe I was wrong. I'll let you know.

I have the BEST husband ever!!!

Last week my husband told me to plan NOT to work my regular schedule last night. I usually work late on Wednesday evening. He told me to get my student to cover for me, that he had a date planned. He got a babysitter and everything! So, last night he took me to dinner at Wild Wings (yummy!) then this is soooo romantic...he took me to see the 20th anniversary special presentation of Dirty Dancing on the big screen. One of my all time favorite movies. So, so sweet and thoughtful. It was awesome to see it on the big screen. Of course I can pretty much quote the entire movie. The craziest thing is that 20 years ago when it came out I was 12 and my parents wouldn't even let me see. I've more than made up for it last night was probably the 100th or more time I've seen it.

I would have to say this is one of the most romantic things he's done for me! Very sweet and thoughtful. Thanks baby! I love you...

What did you think?

So what did you think about American Idol last night? Of course I LOVED it!! Wasn't Jon Bon Jovi just beautiful? That smile, oh wow! Playing the guitar...it was just awesome. The contestants did well, too. I loved Blake's! He did a great job. So did Phil and LaKeisha. Jordin who I love was not my favorite last night. Of course a 17 year old can't appreciate Bon Jovi. Melinda did well. She has a trained voice to me... Anyway...just wanted to give you my take on it.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE BON JOVI PERFORM TONIGHT!!

American Idol Tonight

This is the night I've been waiting for all season! Jon Bon Jovi is going to be on as the mentor to the contestants. Make sure you watch!!!! I can't wait to see that gorgeous face! =) I will update you tomorrow on what I thought...
