FEBRUARY 2010

February was an extremely busy month! In fact the busyness started the middle of January when Stephanie announced that she was getting married and getting married quickly. In fact she was getting married February 27th…THIS YEAR!

So let me tell you … between, wedding planning, Stephanie moving out, wedding showers, Angelas birthday, Dentist appointments, running Emily to dance practice and performances here and there, board meetings AND becoming the President of the Tri-Cities Irish dance, I was just a little stressed out… Just a little... Thank you Lori for making my life easier in February!!

Here are a few highlights…

On the 13th the girls and I, Jordan too, went into Portland. We had a list of things to do… and only a number of hours to get it done including the 8 hours of driving time… My brother was moving to Mexico and had some furniture and a car to sell and sold it to Steph, met with Jimmy to talk about flowers, get the u-haul and attended the bridal shower.

Her Aunts, Stefani and Dana, threw her a beautiful shower.

On the 19th her sisters and Grandma Widing from Portland threw Stephanie a bridal shower for her friends and sisters in the Lakes and Candy Mountain wards. The girls did a great job planning games and decorations. I was so excited. Only 1 person showed. A handful of sisters called or stopped by for a few. We had fun anyways..

The week of the 22nd… Soo much to do! We made Angela and Emily a dress and finished up the flower vases and food planning for the wedding. Friday night Angela had her B-day party at Atomic Bowl. It’s a good thing Lori was here because I plainly lost if Friday. She kept everything in order, Thank you!

On the 27th, Stephanie and Jordan were married. It was a bitter sweet day. Stephanie was beautiful and extremely happy! I am thankful for the time I had with Stephanie and wish I had more time with her. The last few years have been difficult for us and although I am not overjoyed with her getting married I know our Heavenly Father has a plan for my little one and I put my faith and trust in him, that life for her will work out the way they plan. A mother’s job is never easy, especially when giving your daughter away. Mamma loves you June Bug...
