Weekend Fun

This weekend was both ridiculously stressful and fun. Remember that wedding I told you I was planning? Well, it was yesterday. I also ended up being the florist as well - and it was my first wedding. Boy, was I nervous! But everything turned out to be beautiful. Kim looked stunning, the bridesmaids looked beautiful, and of course, the flowers were gorgeous. Her bouquet was solid roses with a collar of black ostrich feathers. She had a feather theme running through the whole wedding. The bridesmaids all had these hot black feather head pieces (found and designed by yours truly) and carried bouquets of red roses with black feathers coming out of them.

The cake. I did the cake flowers too. :) Every single empolyee at the Thatcher Manor came up to me at some point during the reception and told me how great the cake looked. I also had one lady come up to me and tell me that she is a wedding planner who works for a big company out in Orange County, and that the feather thing is really in right now and she sees it a lot. Then she told me that was the best she had ever seen it done. She told me that everything looked so elegant and beautiful. I felt so honored when she told me that. I was so nervous and stressed about how they looked. I spent all day Thursday, went after I got off work at 6 on Friday and was there til 11:30, and then was working on it starting at 6 am on Saturday. I had about 5 breakdowns where I flipped out and threw flowers and started balling. But all the time, all the tears, it was all worth it when I delivered the flowers Saturday morning before I had to go in to work, and Kim started jumping up and down and gave me the biggest hug and told me they were exactly what she had dreamed of. And then when that lady told me that the flowers were some of the nicest she'd seen, that was just icing on the cake.

It was SOOO cold! The Man of Honor let me borrow his jacket.

I love this picture. Man I'm a good photographer! J/k. This picture makes me smile because Kim is such a daddy's girl, and he just looked at her with such love all night long.

Then today at church I had 10 kids in my primary class, 10! Luckily I had a fun activity planned that kept them involved and excited for the lesson. We talked about service today. We learned about how serving others shows Heavenly Father and Jesus how much we love them. We talked about the Bishop and how much service he does for the ward. For our activity we heart-attacked the door of his office. I had cut out a bunch of hearts, and I had the kids write on the hearts different acts of service that they could do, and then we taped them to his door while he was doing an interview. The kids LOVED it. The whole time we were frantically taping hearts to his door they were giggling and they just kept saying, "This is so fun!" Nick is the ward financial clerk and so stays after to do the tithing, and the clerk's office is right next to the bishop's office. When he came home he told me that a bunch of the kids brought their parents over to the office to show them the door. I love it when things like that happens, when the kids are so excited about a lesson. I just hope they learned something! Lol.

So all in all it was a very good weekend. I had a ton of fun at the wedding rocking out to Miley Cyrus, and Twist and Shout, and Lady Gaga. And I had a blast at church with my kiddos saying thank you to the bishop for all of his service.
