Saying Goodbye, Wedding Missions and Life at 5

Hey Blogger Buddies. Here is my weekend recap:

Friday I was not on much because I was with my family as we say Good Bye to my Cousin Bernard. He left this earth to be in Heaven on October 2, 2012 and his services were on Friday. I have to admit that it was nice to see everyone but I wish it was a happier time. Families have the tendency to only see each other at weddings, funerals and holidays so I am going to make an effort to be better about spending more time with family other than those occasions.



When I got home on Friday, My Cousins Darryll and Renee had sent Scott and I a care package. Renee and I talk just about everyday during the work week and she know that last week was a little stressful so it was a nice gesture on their part to send us something to make us smile.

 
Here is the package itself with our favorite things... Pop Chips and Double Stuff Oreos
 

 
Our Beautiful Frame... They give the best gifts.
 
That was a great way to end the day....




Saturday since Jacelyn had a BYE this week, I thought I would get a chance to rest... I was all wrong. I got up early and was on the road. I picked up Brandy and Xzyria to drop off Jazz at the Groomer and head Downtown to Santee Alley for some Jewelry shopping for the Bridal Party. We looked around for some nice stuff and came down to 2 choices:




The girls choose the diamond shaped earrings and we found a bracelet to go with it.....


After that, we picked up Jacelyn from Home (She had practice but they cancelled it at the last minute) and headed to grab some lunch. We went out and found Xzyria some shoes for the wedding since she was not able to order shoes like Jacelyn's and headed over the the dress shop to get her measured. While I was there, I was able to try on my dress after the alterations had been done and it is AWESOME. I am feeling much better about it all and STILL was not able to take it home... Well I was but it didn't make sense since they have to steam it and I didn't want to make multiple trips.

After that we headed home for Family Night!! The kids wanted Cupcakes so Scott made Yellow Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting (Forgot to take a Photo... Sorry). We watch The Wiz and had a good night!



If you have never seen it, Do It! Classic remake of The Wizard of Oz with Michael Jackson and Diana Ross.


Isaiah loved the music and wanted to dance... Of course I had to Video it.




 
 
After that, he wanted to do some more dancing so he and Scott did the Raji...LOL
 
 
 
 
Good Family Fun.
 
 
Sunday Jacelyn and Jazz slept in for a little bit so I finished Laundry and made Breakfast
 
 
I took her to practice after that and took my Mom out to pick her dress and shoes from Davids Bridal...FINALLY!
 
While I was out I got a call from Scott that Isaiah had to go to the ER for an Ear Ache. It was a long afternoon but he was OK and went home to rest after that.
 
 
Here is what is on tap for this week:
 
1. Finalizing Timeline
2. Work on Brunch for After the Wedding
3. Start cleaning since we have company coming to town
4. Escort Cards
5. Verify all appointments.
 
 
12 days away......OMG!!!
