This time, I’m not just saying it. I’ve been having problems with my shop website since the 9th. Today we finally figured out the problem….my domain lapsed and someone else bought it! I received many notices, evidently, but they were going to a dead email address. Since it only renews bi-annually, I had no idea the email address was not good. I won’t even try to describe how sick I felt over it. I have now got a new address and have the chore ahead of me of getting new business cards, contacting vendors, customers, websites we’re listed on, etc. Sickening.

Otherwise, we’ve had some fun things going on. Where to start?

Last Monday, Rebecca and I went dress shopping for me for the wedding. We stopped for lunch at Wagner’s Bakery in Olympia and we enjoyed it so much! We split a turkey/cranberry sandwich and for 99 cents extra we got an extra bowl of fruit, carrot cake and pickle. It was so good! I tried to snap a picture quickly before my camera died and accidentally cut her head off (sorry, Rebecca!)

The exciting news is, I found my dress and incredibly, it was one that Brittany had seen and thought would be perfect for me. I’m a happy camper. I just have shoes left to find.

This Saturday was busier than busy. First off, we had World-wide Knit in Public day!

It was a lot of fun once again.

These socks will probalby end up in the frog pond, my knitting has gotten so loose and I am not so sure I want to go down to a 000 needle. I’m thinking on it for a few days!

I had to leave WWKIP and head to a staff barbecue at our pastor’s house.

Kenny and our pastor talking while the burgers cooked.

Kyle making his salad and our pastor’s wife in the background.

Here’s Rhianna talking to our new associate pastor and his wife. They live on the water and the tide was out.

The guys are getting hungry!

It was a perfect day … all except when Kenny was carrying my plate to the kitchen and he stuck his fork in my hamburger and the plate broke, leaving him holding the corner of it as my leftover salad and burger went splattering across the room! This was a nice melamine plate!

Yesterday we had church in the morning and then off to a shower for Brittany. I just don’t seem to be able to get decent pictures in crowds but here’s a little look at the festivities…there were so many people that several of us stood in the back row.

Here’s my friend, Sharon, trying to guess how many swedish fish there were in the jar. Care to take a guess?

I counted them myself….702!

If you ever need a bouquet made out of the ribbons for a rehearsal, here is the girl to ask! Wow, I didn’t get a picture of the finished product, but it’s funny how now adays, few people use ribbon and paper….it was all bags. So, she took pieces of the tissue and ripped it creatively and made petals. The stem was professionally wrapped!

This isn’t the best picture of Brittany, but as she opened this package, she stated that it was from her future mother-in-law and I loved hearing the words!

She is such a natural at opening gifts. One of the guests said she’s like a Vanna White, but totally natural.

This was too cute for words and unfortunately, my camera didn’t focus. Have you ever seen black rubber gloves with ruffled leopard cuffs? The pose was adorable.

At the end, Rhianna wanted to pray for her. As she started to talk, she started to cry, which started many of us to tear up. Well, the feeling was pretty intense until Rhianna snorted and the whole room fell apart. I had more than one person tell me how glad they were she did that! It’s been a joy to see Brittany fit in our family….my girls love her like a sister and of course Tyler thinks she’s pretty cool….finally someone who could cut his hair without hysterics!

After the shower was over, Brittany brought out the little flower girl dresses that are on their way back to China.

How silly/cute is this?

The dress was cute but it was supposed to be ivory. Evidently in China ivory or cream is not the same as it is here. This was bright white. Brittany actually called China! They offered her a $15 discount if she kept them. Uhhhh, no. (there are 3 dresses, that would be $5 each). Back to searching.

I’m glad I get tomorrow off, too…..I did not even get dressed until 1 pm today because of all the time I spent on tech support with my webhost today! To better days……
