:sigh: I love weddings!

Capree and Kyle's wedding turned out beautiful. The rehearsal dinner was western themed- so cute! We even had little name tags for the table where we were suppose to sit. As Brice and I were sitting there eating dinner I asked him "doesn't that make you feel good seeing Fief behind my name?" He promptly answered "No, it makes me feel broke!" Thanks babe.

I love this picture of me and the bride-to-be

Thank heaven for little girls- the lovely flower girls and junior bridesmaids

The hubby and I- groomsmen and bridesmaid

As soon as Capree gets back from Jamaica, I'm sure she will have more pictures to post from the wedding. I didn't get any of her dress, and the picture I took of the cake didn't turn out very good. We had a fun weekend with lots of memories. One funny thing that did happen (well not funny at the time) during the ceremony, Brice's brother Cole who was a groomsmen almost passed out while standing with all the other groomsmen. Cole whispered to Brice that he was feeling hot and light-headed. Right about that time Cole started wobbling and couldn't stand straight. The brides dad not realizing what was going on, stood up and walked over to Cole (all while the minister is in the middle of talking) and grabbed him by the arm and led him outside. The ceremony continued like nothing had happened. He was fine after he went outside to cool off and came back in and stood in his spot. I'm just glad he didn't pass out and knock the bride over, ha ha!
Have a great Sunday everyone:)

capree & kyle...

Are getting married tomorrow! Holy shit!! Where has the time gone? It seems just like yesterday she was calling me at 1 in the morning from San Antonio announcing she was engaged. Tonight is the rehearsal dinner which I am really looking forward to. I have no idea what to wear. Check back Sunday for pictures of our fabulous weekend.

Baby Buswell

Due to make his/her debut May 30, 2009. Congratulations Chad & Kristi!! I've been wanting to write this blog for a few weeks now, but this little baby is already causing major drama. Kristi was first told at 5 weeks that there was a possibility her pregnancy was nonviable. There was no baby or heartbeat. Just an empty sac. So Chad and Kristi did what any couple would do, they prepared theirself for the worst. Kristi returned for another ultrasound at 6 weeks hoping to see at least a baby and a flicker of the heartbeat. Imagine their surprise when the ultrasound technician announced she could see not one, but two heartbeats flickering away on the computer screen. Kristi's first reaction was "two what?" Which appeared to be in one sac making them identical twins. During all this craziness, Kristi switched doctors. That's a whole other blog! Her new doctor wanted another ultrasound at 8 weeks to confirm the twins. It was then they were only able to see one baby. Her doctor thought maybe the other twin was hiding behind the other. So if this hasn't been crazy enough, Kristi's new doctor asked her to come back at 11 weeks. Not for an ultrasound, she's had way too many already, but so they can listen with the doppler to see how many heartbeats there actually are. Yes Kristi it's called a doppler, not a dinglehopper! So at 11 weeks, it was confirmed there was only one healthy baby with a very strong heartbeat. All is good. We are happy and blessed to have at least one baby Buswell on the way.

Now where did that other twin go? Or was there ever one to begin with? Only God knows for sure. My theory is Kristi had what they call The Vanishing Twin Syndrome. This is the result of a miscarriage of one of the twins that either absorbs back into the other twin, or back into the placenta. Kristi's doctor mentioned the second heartbeat could have been a mirror-image bouncing back off the other, but I personally haven't been able to find much research on this.

Here is a picture of Kristi and me on her wedding day....

why does it rain?

Today we layed to rest Miranda Ann Raymond. Why does it always rain during funerals? It didn't just sprinkle, it poured hard and never stopped. It was nice seeing old friends I haven't seen in years. I'm sad it had to be the death of a close friend to bring everyone together, but I suppose that's the way it's meant to be. I guess now we just take one day at a time and remember we got a really good angel working with God looking over us now. Miranda once told me that I can have her children for her because she feared she would never have her own. I'm not sure what she meant by that. Maybe she thought she would never get married, or maybe she knew she wouldn't live a long life? Either way, I promised myself today that's exactly what I'm going to do. I will get pregnant and know she played a part in helping us achieve that. So I prayed to Miranda today and asked her as soon as she's settled down in heaven and has the time, to please add me and Brice to her "miracle" to-do list:)

That's all for now.

Brides Lunch

Sunday afternoon we had a brides lunch for soon-to-be Mrs. Capree Young. It turned out really nice and was like a miniature Thanksgiving dinner. Here are some pictures I took and played around with in Paint Shop Pro.

R.I.P Miranda Raymond

God called home a very good friend of mine this week. Why did He need her so soon? I hope He has a good reason for it because I know I'm not the only one wondering. The bible says we should trust Him in everything we do, so that's exactly what I'm going to do. And just let it be, and know there was a reason for it.

Miranda- I will miss your comments on my blog that always made me smile. You were always there for me when I needed you the most. Thank you for all the late night emails on myspace when I had my miscarriage. You wrote me every day till you knew I was better. Thank you for always coming to sit with me at lunch when I would be sitting alone. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me. I wish you had been giving a chance to fight it. We will miss you and never forget that smile on your face.

cheers....

To a new cycle. Aunt Flo' came for a visit today. I didn't think I was pregnant, but I thought we had a good chance this month. Oh well, we get to try again in two weeks. I remind myself how lucky we are that we were able to get pregnant on the first try. That doesn't happen with most couples. I know it will happen- soon! Not one day, but soon..

Oh, and somebody (probably some kids) stole the pumpkin Brice carved for me out of our yard on Halloween night. I didn't even get a chance to take some pictures of it. It looked soooo good, too!
