Car Wash Confusion

Okay, so I despised the movie, but this is quite funny.

Sunday School

In a mere 12 hours I'll teaching a 3rd grade Sunday school class for the church I joined... 

Funny how my perception of those couple hours after church as changed in such a short period of time....

To Serve

I received some awesome news today! I'll be substituting for a Sunday School class this, well... Sunday! How neat is that!?!? Ohhhhkay... I know what you're thinking, but I truly am excited about this one. I've been asked to serve, not in court or greasy food, but for God. 

There truly is no greater pleasure in life than to serve.

the wedding binder

Above is a picture of the wedding binder that I have created. Created, that's right I said CRE-ated - like with my own two hands and über creative thinking.

At one point in my life, I worked at a certain place of employment with a certain annoying coworker. Prior to me "joining" the team my coworker became engaged. Wonderful, perfect, exhilarating, great... ANNOYING! All day long she talked about her wedding and how perfect it was going to be. And if she wasn't talking about planning her wedding she was discussing how "petite" she was or how wonderful her soon-to-be-husband was. Needless to say, I brought my headphones to work because the sound of her voice soon became something comparable to, well, nails on a chalkboard. 

I don't talk about my wedding at work - unless some asks me. I simple cannot stand the idea of creating as much pain and suffering for someone that I work with, whether I like them or not, to talk endless about my wedding. 

Okay, okay, okay... on to the binder. Long ago Sam and I decided that we wanted a simple wedding... nothing fancy - really. I have put of setting a date for a while (my excuse of a new job, city and state have not worn off...) but now it's time to get down to business. So with this mindset I decided I needed a good ol "wedding binder". I've looked around in stores, but to be honest they are not that appealing to me. They all say "high maintenance, over-priced, princess weddings" and for goodness sake, that is just not me or us. So I made my own. 

My "happy day" organizational book is a reused binder from my not-so-long-ago college days. Heaven knows I have enough of them. I covered it with a paper bag from the grocery store (like back in junior high with your textbooks) and cut out a bushel of apples and a little piece of paper that says, "our happy day book". Voila! I have a wedding binder! I found a generic wedding planner on marthastewart.com, printed it out and crossed off a whole bunch of things that are simply not necessary for our happy day (ie videographer, ring pillow, flower girl accessories and calligrapher). 

Anywhoooo...
