Too Much To Update!

I'm not even sure where to begin, so here's the best condensed version I can give....
Gary, Khonda, the kids, and Khonda's parents arrived on Thursday and stayed through Monday. We had a great time, but the day that stood out the most for everyone was Sunday. After church and lunch everyone went up to Michael's. We gave tours of Michael's place and the view from Craig & Vickie's, then Gary, Khonda and her parents went to tour the wineries nearby.

The kids stayed with Michael & I and had a blast playing... ... in a bucket of water,




... in the dirt,

... and on the four-wheeler. Michael took all the kids for rides, then let Brock and Makenna each go off on their own.

When the adults returned, Gary took his turn playing on the four-wheeler as well. When all was said and done, Gary & Brock ended up wearing some of Michael's sweats because their pants got so muddy.

After all the fun outside, the group moved indoors. Michael & I set out all kinds of snacks while everyone played games. We had a big pizza dinner and then sprawled all over the living room to watch "Facing the Giants".

It was a great day.

And a great weekend with family.

I have been extremely busy now that I'm working with two brides. They are both so wonderful; it makes my job fun.

I have also been networking like crazy... met with a cake designer on Thursday, a wedding venue on Friday, another wedding venue on Monday (where it looks like I will be their preferred Wedding Planner!!!!.... more details to come!), and a great DJ yesterday who may likely be my best contact yet. He is one of the top DJ's and came prepared to give me all kinds of helpful info and books for our line of work, as well as referrals.

So now, my friends, I think you are all caught up for the moment. Back to work for me!
