HAPPY BIRTHDAY TARA!!!

My best frind in the ENTIRE world and also my Maid of Honor is having her 24th birthdy today!! On the 24th of January! =) I just wanted to tell her to have a happy birthday... and I wish I could be with her in Puyallup, Washington to celebrate it with her! It seems like yesterday we were falling off of cliffs to a bayou and being attacked by a gang of geese by the Dogwood Pond.... not to mention claiming our own peice of land for a camp named "Schmutzgilla Camp". Sometimes I wish we could still be 13 years old running around with no responsibility but to do good in Mrs. Gaydos class and labeling our teacher as a "trash digger" because she rummaged one of our notes from the trash! Haha!!! I miss those days... and now I sound like an old coot!! Anyway... TARA! If you are reading this, please have fun today for me because I cant be there to make you have fun!!! I love you sister from another mister! LYLAS, Lacey aka DR. X!

Snow Days!

Well, we were planning on going to Billings, Montana today so I could try on some more wedding dresses at David's Bridal (I already have one dress that I really want!!! But I need to try more on to make sure I pick the BEST ONE!), Chris could try on some suits and vests, and we could do a few more wedding errands but a crazy snow storm hit yesterday and it has been snowing on and off since!! So, alas... we could not make the surely treacherous journey to Billings. That's what is bad about living in a small town like Powell.... resources are very limited and we are far away from anywhere who has them! It was okay though because the shoes for me and the bridesmaids came in the mail today! SO EXCITED!!!! The color is so perfect it is crazy... Here is a picture from the website.. I didn't think about taking one of the actual ones.

Love it!!! Nothing else very eventful happened today, the kids are with their mom this weekend so it's been kind of quiet. I miss them when they are gone every other weekend :(
I also need to get my new sewing machine I got for Christmas and start hemming not one, but ALL, of Chris' pants.... He is about my height... so it is hard to find pants that aren't too long and as a consequence they are all frayed at the bottom... something must be done!!! I have very little sewing experience other than young women's and fixing quick rips or buttons! So if anyone has any advise for me it would be much appreciated!!!!! I also want to start learning how to make clothes!

Gymnastics

Time to follow in my Dad's footsteps!

I have decided that it would be fun to blog again! I have never been very good at it, but I will put forth an effort! My dad loves his blog and I want to be as cool as him, so I will try!!!! (I put that in there cause I knew he would eat it up.)

This past year has been pretty busy. Met the love of my life, fell in love with not just him but his two kids as well. Chris, Ebin, and Rhiannon are my life now and we are all excited for our wedding on August 7th, 2010! We just had our first Holiday season together. It was so much fun!!!! Halloween, Rhiannon's 5th Birthday (and party!!!... first kid party, go me!), Thanksgiving, and Christmas!!!!! I thought about posting some pictures from those events, but I am lazy, so I will start out with the here and now! I just signed the kids up for a few sports the other week. Last Tuesday Rhiannon started Gymnastics, Monday kicks off Taekwondo for Ebin, and they both have Swimming Lessons starting next Saturday! Busy busy busy! I guess they weren't kidding when they said I'd be getting a crash course at being a Mom... but I wouldn't change it for the world. I love them to death and it is already feeling like we are a family. Chris and I are starting to get the ball rolling on all the Wedding plans! (When I say 'Chris and I' I really mean my mom... she is amazing! I don't know what I would do without her... ) Once I upload pictures to the computer I will throw in a picture of Rhiannon aka Anna Bug in her gymnastics outfit!

Well that's it for now. LOVE LACEY
