So yesterday was the first day of Summer! What?? How did that happen? Where did Spring go? It seems like Christmas was just a couple of months ago. In retrospect, here's a run down of my Spring -- the good, the bad and the ugly:
The Good
- A girls' weekend. After picking up Daughter #3 from university in Idaho, we met up with Daughter #1 and Daughter #2 in Lethbridge. It was the most central spot for all of us to meet, to watch Daughter #3 try on wedding dresses. So, so fun!
- The Showbiz Kids Production. The kids were awesome, and I was so proud of them! I can't wait for another year.
- Seminary Graduation. Not only did the students graduate, but so did I (my four-year calling is finished), and I have to say... it feels pretty good.
- Preparing for the wedding. Checking out pinterest, clipping coupons for Michaels, and scanning garage sales for vintage-type items has taken up a fair amount of time.
- Preparing for missionaries. After the wedding we'll begin taking our turn to house the missionaries from our church. So, I've been trying to get the space ready for them that they will need. It's interesting how you start looking at your house in a totally different way when you know total strangers are coming to stay with you.
- Convocation of Son #1A. We're pretty proud of him. I'll post pictures in a later post.
- A Change in the Recycling. Town Council announced the new program that just made recycling so much easier. No more removing the paper labels from the tin cans! No more peeling the stickers from the plastic wrap!! And best of all, no more separating the paper envelopes from their little plastic windows!!! Who knew this little change could make me such a happy woman?
The Bad
- The Dress (check out my earlier post)
- The Rain (check out any newspaper)
The Ugly
- Finding my first grey eyebrow hair. I don't think I even need to expand on that.

If you weren't already there you have officially reached sainthood for taking in the missionaries!!!!
I can't wait for lots of wedding pics
"Sainthood". Oh, Sheri, you're hilarious. It's the sisters, not the elders, so that's maybe a little easier???
Sorry about the grey eyebrow hair. And the dress. I'm sure you will look great in anything!
And the showbiz show was awesome.
haha. Thanks Andrea!
I don't know if I should admit this on a public blog such as this. But I will in hopes to lift your spirits a tad. I found my first grey hair a few short months ago, shortly after the birth of my last babe... and should I go as far as to admit I have found 2 more since!? They all get pulled immediately, but seriously I curse my fathers genetics every time!
Good luck with the wedding, I don't know when it is, but I'm excited to see pictures. Carly is going to be gorgeous! And good luck with finding a dress for yourself!
