Fine!! I'll Update!!

Well, apparantly a lot of people read this blog that I was unaware of, so I guess I'll try to do a better job of updating this thing. I haven't been very active at it since Ellie was born. She is doing great and amazingly gets cuter every day! I am a VERY proud aunt & snuggle her EVERY chance I get!
On to the wedding update! I went for my first set of alterations the other day & finally got to see myself with it on, including veil & tiara! I am very happy with how it all looks together, but I wish I had been a lot more serious about the weight loss. I sent invitations out yesterday so be watching the mail! I made them myself, and I think they turned out GREAT! I had a slight idea what I wanted to do out of a book, and just took it from there! I have a ton yet to do, and I realize there is only 2 and a half months to go. Procrastination is going to bite me in the ass, this I am aware. I keep having the nightmare that I forgot to A)Send the invitations or B)Get my dress altered & cleaned. I guess neither of those are true anymore. WHEW!
My bridesmaid dresses are bought & ordered, and will be in by August 4th. SO, I am glad to get that off my mind, so that I don't have sleepless nights of thinking everyone will be in jeans & a t-shirt.. lol, yes another dream I had. Wedding stress really is rediculous, and I would NEVER do it again. We should have went to Vegas!! I think everyone should do it once, but you are seriously INSANE if you do it twice!!!
Tomorrow is the 4th of July, and I hear Dale is having a big to-do at his place. I wish I had taken Wednesday off, and I would come but since I have to work I probably should stay home & get some sleep!
My new job is going GREAT! I love the people that I work with and the job that I do is crazy busy, and keeps me challenged everyday.

Yesterday was Jessica's baby shower in West Branch and it was a nice time. Ellie made her grand entrance, and she was quite vocal about it! I think Jes & Rob "hired" most of the people there to be part time help! I can see how they are exausted. She has us all wrapped around her tiny little finger!! Here are some pictures of the Princess & her court. Proud Daddy Rob, showing us how to burp her!
Here is Ellie hanging out with her Great Grandma Lynch. Grandma had such a natural way with her, I guess she gets that from experience!!
Marsha was "streatching" Ellie to try to get that gas out of her tummy & we did hear a couple of burps come out of her! Good job Marsha! This is Madison hanging out with her 2nd Cousin. Seems wierd to think of that way! And this is 4 generations of our family. I think this picture came out very well if I do say so myself. Prints are available for a nominal fee! Just kidding!! It really is sad that there is so little family resemblence..... right.
