The last two days Brian and I worked at the Lassiters, getting the
grounds ready for the wedding. (See, we can do something useful when
we’re together). Brian used the power washer just about the whole time,
spraying down  the arbor by the pool. It really makes a
difference! Notice how the washed beam is white and the other one is
green. He really worked hard and kept at it until the whole thing was
shining white – it’s gorgeous!
 

I did the little side chores, mainly painting the arch that we will be
married under. It was all rusty but it’s good now. I also did some
weeding in the rose beds surrounding the pool area. I think I have a
really good tan now 🙂

After we finished yesterday, and had admired our work and put things
away I somehow managed to “fall” in the pool! Fortunately Brian was
very close by and graciously “jumped in” to “save” me. Funny how we
both hit the water almost simltaneously. Incredibly, Brian had the
foresight to bring towels for just such an accident.

Okay, here is the promised picture (if a little late – what can I say, Brian arrived and I got a little distracted )

I just finished putting it all together about half an hour before Brian
arrived and I was able to show him and the rest of his family. All that
I have left now is the borders. I’ve had a fun doing it and should have
fun using it.

Okay, here’s pictures of the project that has been my consuming past time this week – okay, the last two and a half days.

 
I cut pieces….           
              
              
         sewed them together…..

    
  Sewed pieces into blocks….     
              
               and
ironed the seams at every step…

Progress made will be posted tomorrow. (photos by Katie Jones)

Great weekend! Of course, time with Brian was the highlight but we did a lot of neat things – together of course .
First was a wedding shower, then an unexpected but thoroughly fun trip
to Six Flags!!! Monday found us shopping for a suit coat for Brian (he
looks pretty snazy in one too).
 Coming home tuesday I found my room totally trashed – furniture
piled high and all sorts of stuff from the flooding of the girls and
parents room. I dug through all of that and now have a little space for
me and my stuff again. I think this may be a hint to hurry me on out of
the house – Brian’s family pulled a similar move on him to get all of
his “junk” out of their house .
  Today I’ve been hard at work. Haven’t made much of a dent in the
68 thank you notes I have to write after the shower, but I’ve made some
amazing progress on my quilt. I’ve already cut out and pieced seven
squares today  and I’m hoping to get the last four done before bed
tonight. Brian will be so proud!
Other activites of the day include trying on my wedding gown multiple
times as Lori altered it for me – this was funny because she’s taking
it in and we were dicussing whether or not it fit around the waist and
if she should take it up a bit more, I said “either that or I could eat
more, break out the ice cream, I need to fit into my wedding dress!”
 I also baked bread and made the whole house smell good when the
insurance adjuster was here. This afternon I was helping David make
pizza and he said, “we sure will miss you Amy, you make good pizza”.
Well, loss for some will be gain to another

This week has seemed very long.
I got a lot done though.
I’m working on a scrapbook of our Courtship/Engagement/eventual wedding
and I’ve been going through some of the emails we wrote and the story
of our engagement. It makes me really miss Brian; I want to see him so
bad! Five hours and counting……
