And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:5-9

All About Angela

My sister Angela is getting married July 31st! YAY! So last weekend myself and her other bridesmaids (with help from my wonderful Mom and Buffy..) gave my sister a "personal shower" (is that what they still call it?) last weekend in Branson. We got to have it at the condo where her and her fiance work (which are super nice!). My Mom, cousin Robyn, my sis, and I stay there Friday night. We started out the evening with some Olive Garden and a little trip out to College of the Ozarks for some wedding planning (that is where she is getting married. She went to college there..)

This is the chapel at C of O. Okay, so my sis wanted satin bows all down this isle. 52 bows would have to be made. Yes, I said MADE! Made by Angela and Mom. We convinced her that every other pew would be very pretty so now only 26 will be made. But still, holy cow! I took this pic mid isle. Yes, it's one crazy L O N G isle!

Momma measures
Ahhh, the joy of planning..Then we went to the Keeter Center where they are having the reception. I am so pumped for them. The Keeter Center is rustic and GORGEOUS!
Reception Hall
Silver Dollar City Parlor

The hall was set up for something else, but Ang is giving us the run down of how she is going to decorate.


Then Saturday...... Party time! We had to kick Angela out for a few hours so we could get some things ready. Mom and I fixed food. Thanks to Angela's other bridesmaids Shawna and Brianne the food and games all came together. Uh yeah, we played some...um, shall we say, "bachelorette party type games" (Let's just say those pics aren't getting posted..)


Hard work paid off. The food was good and everything was lovely. And for the record that is punch in that punch bowl...
Angela didn't want cake. She requested fruit pizza. It was super!!!! Thanks Paula Deen! Of course did it my way. Thanks B and S for putting it together! Can't take all the credit there...

All I will say is that Angela recieved some hot lingerie for those steamy nights in San Antonio. Notice I'm not posting any pics of them. Sorry Olin...

Hey I got to hold my niece Eden! I love her!Me, Angela, and Robyn. (I seriously needed a necklace up against those two..)

Us and our Momma
I love my sister! Congratulations Angela. Marriage (and all the benefits there of) is a blessing from God so enjoy enjoy!
On that note I think I will end this ridiculously long post.
