No news is good news....I guess!

Well, I'm sorry I haven't posted much lately - there hasn't been alot to talk about. 

Emily, her Mom (Jane), sister (AmyJo), Makalyn and I went wedding dress shopping the other day.  We started out at 8:00 AM and ended the evening around 7:30 PM.....yes, an all day experience but well worth it!  We went from Lebanon, MO to Springfield, MO...and found "the dress".  You know, they say that when trying on wedding dresses it's "the dress" that will make the Mother's cry.  After trying on 20+ dresses (Emily that is) I think the bride-to-be was worn out but when she came out with "the dress"....the Mother's cried!  It was a very emotional time.  All-in-all it was a very fun-filled day!!!!!  Me or AmyJo took pictures but I can't post any - we don't want to groom seeing the dress before the wedding.  :)

It seems all our conversations are about "the wedding"!  I love it!  I work with a lady who's grandson is getting married in July so it's been fun sharing "wedding" stories.  Details are starting to happen and come together.  OK....enough talk about that.

Is it snowing in your area?  It is ours.  The kids have had 2 snow days, one already made up.  The kids enjoy being out and wish they had more days off - so maybe!

Better go~

HUGE Cookies.........

I'm trying to teach Emily how to cook some.  Today she made cookies - chocolate chip cookies.  She made one "huge" cookie for all of us to eat!  She and Zacheri decided to try it out first.
8 months from today they will be a married couple!  Wow - hard to believe!!!
