From the Porters

Porter-Pottie

Delia had her 18 month check up a week ago.... yeah we were a little late on the scheduling (like 3 months) but hey...... we were switching insurances. So, anyways the doctor asked if she was showing interest in pottie training yet, um.. yeah! I told him I can't keep her clothes on because she thinks she needs to try like 50xs a day. I was nipping it in the bud and putting onsies on her, because I'm pretty sure she (I'm) not ready to start. The medically certified caregiver told me I should applaude her interest and begin the war. So now Eden and Delia hang out in the bathroom for at least an hour each day. Aren't doctors wonderful. I'm pretty sure he laughed histaricly after he left our room having told me to start pottie training my 20 month old and thinking of the crazy days I would have ahead. Love it.

Pretty Posies

Practically Perfect Peonies?........pretty much.

Avery Day

Corri's baby shower was on Saturday and it was pretty much the most attractive shower I have been to yet! I guess that's because Corri is the most delicious girl ever!

The girl is still wearing her tiny seven jeans with days until her due date!
She made the most adorable quilt for Avery and her nursery is super attractivo.... Corri is great at having her own style and making everyone else amazed at her mad skills.

I am so glad to have awesome friends that are so kind and loving. You girls are truly my family and I am so grateful for the years of memories we have been through. ( I will spare us the pictures I could insert here from like 10 years ago!) Wish you could have been there Ash!

Love to you all!

In the Know

So, I figure since I've been working in the wedding industry for over a year now, I now know everything there is to know about the best day of your life.

I do.

So I've come up with a few factoids:

#1. There will always be a female guest who is wearing an electric blue dress that is either too low, too short, too small or all of the above.

#2. There is some type of magnetism between the garter and the un-married male's head who catches it. He always puts it directly on his head and looks ridiculous.

#3. Mono cromatic bouquets always look the best.... in my opinion :)

#4. Most everyone is a little too sloshed to get their picture taken after 10:30pm. Sometimes earlier.

#5. Cakes+flowers on top= always attractive.

#6.There is almost always one of the bridesmaids who is "in charge". She is the expert to go to with any & all questions about the wedding day, how your hair looks, which shoes you should wear, etc.

#7. You should walk down the aisle after the ceremony slowly. Enjoy each moment as a new Mr. & Mrs. & it is always an amazing photo op.

#8. Seeing your soon to be spouse before the ceremony is a must. Pictures will be out of the way before you walk down the aisle, your make up & hair will look better for the pictures & your husband will still think you look stunning as you walk down the aisle to him.

#9. DJs always make good conversation as an interesting dinner partner.

#10. Wedding coordinators can make or break the happiness of your wedding day.

#11. DJs who dance along with their music are not the DJ for you.
