more pics

more pictures. after a fun filled week of getting ready and then bringing everything home and relaxing it was time to send Renee back home to Florida. We spent a lazy day on the Riverwalk eating and sightseeing. Caught up before going to airport on Monday and now ordering pictures and getting the house back in order. WHEW, who knew it took so much to get a son married. I feel badly for those of you who have girls. You have much more to do than I did.

First Dance

It's official. They're hitched. Happy Bride and Groom. Tired parents and a good time had by all. Thanks for coming everyone. We are so glad that you joined us. More pics to come later.

Reheasal Dinner

So we had the rehearsal. We are all set for tomorrow. Nothing will go as smoothly as we all hope, but all in all the kids will be married and happy. Isn't that what we all want anyway??
Luke was really surprised to see his Auntie Nae. Of course it had been a few years.
The cake turned out beautiful. A big shout out to Lucille for stepping in and doing it after the original "cake lady" had to beg off. Pictures after the wedding. You didn't think I would post it before, now did you?????? You have to wait like everyone else.
So off to bed and up early to start getting ready. Hi, Ho, it's off to bed we go!

FORECAST CHANGE!!!

That is not a bad thing. It is forecasted to be 80 degrees. YAY! If it holds true it will be a beautiful day for the kids.
Dress casual, comfortable and come to have fun. Please do not get all dressed up. Jeans and boots will be just fine. Everyone in the weddidng party will be changing after the traditional things are done.
I'm getting so excited I can't sleep at night.

Brain Blip

Today is Luke's birthday. What a absent minded mother I am. Yes I remembered it was today. I just forgot to put it in the post.
Happy Birthday to Luke!!!! We love you.

weather, again.

Just checked forecast and it is showing to be 75 degrees! YAY!!! Nice weather. Still no mention of rain. It does still show clouds. So maybe cloudy and warmish? We'll take it.
The kids got their marriage license yesterday. Sarah got her hair done. Luke doesn't need a hair cut, his hair is always short. Can't count the number of times over the years he's said "Mom, I need a haircut". That's my boy.

weather check

Still checking the weather daily. According to one report now quite as warm as it has been and some clouds. Not a forecast for rain just some clouds.
Tomorrow Luke and Sarah are going to get the marriage license. Three day waiting period and good for 30 days. We should be good to go.
Count down continues.

Directions

Ok, don't know if the kids are putting out balloons are what they are going to do about marking the location. Mike and I drove out there tonight. We missed the road. Course it was dark but still, we had a really good idea where we were going and you all won't. So when you get on FM 466 go the 1.6 miles and just BEFORE you cross the Guadalupe River SLOW DOWN because you are going to turn to the right. In the daylight you will be able to see the GBRA sign that says Nolte Island. But if you cross the river you went too far, turn around and go back.

More tomorrow.

Weather

Uh-Oh. checking weather forecasts this morning. Now it shows a chance of a thunderstorm. NOOO! I suppose the forecast will change several times between now and then, but I really really don't like seeing that.
We're going tonight to see the venue. Planning on putting sides up on it so that this crazy weather doesn't mess us up. We'll see what the guys come up with.

weather forecast

According to the weather forecasts that I have read in the past several days, the weather should be nice. There is no forecast of rain at this point and the temps should be close to what we have been experiencing. One forecast reported unseasonably warm, one said seasonal temps and one said cooler. Dress in layers and pray for unseasonably warm.

Count down to wedding

Until recently we have used this blog for our dogs. Not anymore, I am going to use this as wedding central.
I will post updates on weather reports for the big day and other information that may be helpful. Directions?
Here is a link that may have a better map for getting there. http://www.recreationparks.net/TX/guadalupe/nolte-island-recreation-area-seguin
