Okay so I haven't been able to post for awhile because life has been busy and I have been house sitting, where I don't have computer access...so I figured since I have today off that I would update my blog...so here we go!!
First of all wedding update...my invitations are in...sonja and i are going to pick them up today, then Brandon and I need to get a photo taken to put with them and then they'll be on their way out. I'm having such a hard time getting this guest list down...I don't want people to be offended if they're not invited, I wish I could have everyone there but where it's at the Ramada space is limited...mom has me scared to send them away to people outside of ns because she's like what if they decide to make a visit just around that time and come...then the list would grow too big and my dad would go crazy...any suggestions all you gals who have gotten married...how did you work around that...and if there is anyone from far away who is reading this and won't be in the province august 4th let me know, so I can still send you and invite...does any of my ramblings make sense....can you tell this has been on my mind a lot...I want everyone who is in my life to be there but that's just not going to happen...aww so stressful!!! Anyway back to updates...
This is the material we've chosen for the bridesmaids dresses...Sonja, my mom, brandon's mom, jake and Sarah went out one morning and searched...this material is great because it has all our colors in it and it's so much fun. The patterned material is the main part of the dress while the solid pink is an accent trim. The style of the dresses is something that the girls can keep and wear again...very summery and fun...I'm not sure on their flowers but they'll most likely be one color while mine will be a combination of all the colors. It's so hard...I have a picture of how this will all come together, I just hope it works out and looks great and not all Crazy!!My dress has been ordered and we had it shipped to our friend's place in Utah...we are hoping that it's reached them in time. Donny is coming home today so hopefully he'll be bringing it with him on the plane...I'm super excited...if not Karlee will ship it up for us. It was so sweet of them to do this...definitely cut down in the shipping!!! I'm super excited to see the dress and I hope that I fit into it...I've been eating healthy and doing sit ups...so here's hoping!!! I think that's it for the updates right now...if I think of more I'll post them...anyway any advice on the invite situation that would be great!!!
So April and May are busy months in the O'Hearon Home...Mike and Kathy have their birthdays on April 26th and then Laura follows and May 2nd and then I'm on May 6th...by my birthday we are all so sick of cake. This year for our birthday's sonja and I decided to go out for lunch together...her birthday is April 24th...so we headed out to Montana's for a delicious lunch...here are the pictures to prove it...hahaha....
Ethan was super good all during lunch...he got a few little snacks too!! Our meals were delicious and we left super stuffed. It was hard to then go home later on in the day and have Laura's birthday dinner...which was a Mexican feast...Kathy Jeff and the kids came over to help Laura celebrate turning 18...I can't even believe it now that Laura is now a YSA....CRAZY!!! It was a great meal and the kids helped auntie Laura blow out all her candles...well it was more like they blew them all out for her!! The picture of Jacob was him showing off his artwork at dinner...yes that is marker all over is body...it was on his tummy, back and feet...crazy little guy!!
So this past week on top of house sitting in upper tantallon I've been working as usual at Roots which means a nice drive into the city each day. I had Saturday off from Roots but still had to go in because we were doing a fashion show in my mall and I was in it...along with Ethan. It was nice the Salon upstairs did our hair and makeup for us...although my hair looks like it always does...all she did was straighten it, I was kinda bummed...but oh well! Maria and I had put all the outfits together earlier on in the week, so I had some time to kill with Phil and Sonja...we hit up MacDonald's for some lunch!! Everyone got ready in the store and we did a big group picture...only problem was that we'd worn Ethan out and just before the show started he fell asleep....he was still working his outfit asleep though...we walked the runway with him asleep and he couldn't have been more cuter!!! In the picture of him and I, I'm waving hi to his mom and dad. The show was a success and all our models did a great job, seeing as none of us had professional training. Here and a few pictures from before the show and during the show...
After the show I decided to pay my sweetie a visit...since it's a 15 minute drive in from my house sitting house and then another 20 minutes to Brandon's house from my house we haven't seen each other much in the past two weeks almost, it SUCKS! So I took a sub down to him at the bank and it was great to just give him a big hug!!! The next day was my 24th Birthday, which was also Stake Conference at church...so I also got to see Brandon briefly then, before he had to go back to work...we'll celebrate my birthday when I'm done house sitting which is fine!!
Before I continue on about my birthday, I have to write this...
CONGRATULATIONS MEAGHAN AND JASON on getting ENGAGED!!
So Brandon called me Friday and told me the news and then I had to keep it quiet until the next day, but when Meaghan's status on Facebook changed I figured it was all good now to share the exciting news!!! I stole this picture of them off Facebook..could they be any cuter...hope you don't mind I stole your picture meg!! So On Sunday I got to see them both and congratulate them on the engagement and being me I had a card for them!! Her ring is so beautiful...I loved seeing it. I gave them both big hugs...so now not only am I gaining a new sister-in-law but I'll also be gaining another new brother-in-law which is super exciting!!! It was great to see them at conference and I also saw and got big birthday hugs from Brandon's fam...it was great I'm definitely gaining more great family members!!!
We headed back to the house for a birthday BBQ...Steak, Cole Slaw, Potato Salad and Corn on the cob...it was delicious...followed up by some birthday cake...it was a great afternoon...I watched Night and The Museum with the kids it's a cute movie!!! I spent the remainder of the night out with my dogs scrap booking!!! I had so many people send me birthday wishes it was so super!!!
So that is my little update for now...hope this finds everyone well and happy...Sonja and Ethan are here so we are going to go enjoy the beautiful day at the play ground after picking up the invites...I'm so excited!! I'll post again soon!!!! Hope you enjoy!!! Oh and hopefully in the next like 2 weeks I'll have a blog with pictures of Kathy's baby...hopefully it'll come soon!!!!!! I'm super excited for that!

Well I'm just feeling so much better now that I know what's up in your life. I was seriously deprived!!!
My suggestion for the whole away invitation thing...is for you to send the away people a wedding announcement after the wedding. You could just send them a little quick card with a wedding picture in it...announcing when you got married. That way they get to see the two of you without the worry that you may get extra guests. It'd be so easy just to do something with a little cardstock and a picture. I can help you do one up if you want. Just something cute and simple. That's my suggestion. AND I won't be able to come for sure...I'll be so pregnant by then! So if you have extras send me one so I can see it. If not just post one on the blog so I can see it there!!! I'm sooo glad you posted. AND I was just going to post about Meaghan too so that's funny...same picture!! ha ha...I may still do it!
oh i am so jealous that you have a day off! and super glad that you finally posted! i know you are a busy girl, but you can't just to that to us bloggers!
as for the invite situation, i totally know where you are coming from. we had a hard time cutting our list back. we didn't even get to invite all the YSA we wanted to. i dont have time to explain how it all worked out now, but when you get a second, why dont you call me and we'll chat. in fact i am sure you promised me an ice cream date or something after you were done school...and so far..no date :( are you cheating on me?
Hey Karen,
I can tell you that I will not be in NS this summer, so if you send me an invitation I won't crash the party and spike Bill's blood pressure.
As for the guest list issue, I can certainly appreciate that that would be difficult. I however am of no help as we only had 25 people there and didn't tell anyone else we were getting married!
What we did was after we were married we had some postcards made up with one of our pictures on the front and then wrote a little note on the back and sent it like a regular postcard. We used ours mostly for thank you cards...just an idea to go along with Kristi's announcement idea.
Well, first I must apologize for not wishing you happy birthday sooner. But it sounds like you had a good day. Happy Belated birthday.
My boss just showed up, gotta run, but I love the material you picked for the dresses!
I haven't read your blog yet, but i'm excited to.. I just wanted to say hi and miss you to. Where did you register and what kind of stuff did you register for?! Talk to you later! I might have to get some addresses for you:)
