It's all Greek to me :)

This past weekend was full of festivals in our surrounding area. Let's see.... there was the Rice festival, the Cajun catfish festival, the Greek festival and the Renaissance festival. We chose the Greek Festival. I was so looking forward to it but ended up a bit disappointed. The food was great with no complaints there, but the crowd was too much. There wasn't enough seating for people who purchased meals. People were sitting on the sidewalks, the grassy areas, stairs and anywhere where they could find to sit. All day you could hear people saying excuse me, oh sorry or can I get through. I think next year we'll pass on the Greek Festival and try the Cajun Catfish Festival. Here are a few photo's from this past weekend. Enjoy!

Such a beautiful wedding

Ahhhh it was such a beautiful wedding. I took tons of pictures....up unitl I got sick. Have a look.

A busy month for Marlene

Another wedding

I'm so happy for Marlene, I think this time she'll really go through with it. It's to David, but it's always been David. This past Christmas she called off her engagement, last week she decided to move forward with the wedding. Here's the thing, the wedding date is set for May 15th..... yep it's next month. We tried to tell her that though it can be done, it's just a really busy month.
This is what's happening from this week moving forward till the wedding date, none of it having anything to do with the wedding.
Her mom has surgery this week. Next week the mom travels to pick up her mom (who will be staying with her indefinitely). A few days after her mom returns, Marlene graduates from college. On the 14th, Marlene has her commissioning ceremony. She will officially become an officer in the Air Force.
Crazy crazy girl.
My daughter is her matron of honor who has a busy schedule at work. So I have another round of helping throw a quick bridal shower together which is May 1st. We've decided on a Garden themed bridal shower, this weekend my daughter and I have completed the shower invites and are waiting on the guest list. We've already purchased the supplies for the favors except for the M & M's. The shower cake has been ordered, I'm also going to attempt to make the following.
I was thinking of getting individual baby pots, putting styrofoam at the bottom, topping it with green M & M's, tying raffia around the pot with one flower (cookie) or just making 4 larger decorative pots with a half dozen cookies in each. I don't know, we'll see how it goes.
The way I see it, it's gonna be fast and furious and I'm glad I'm not the mother of the bride. Knowing the bride it'll turn out beautiful.
When we're done with Marlene, we have Tracy, Tracy is getting engaged at the end of this month, I think she plans on getting married before the end of this year. And the last of the girls will be Kristina. Kristina will have a long engagement because she's a planner and will want an intimate but very pretty girly wedding. Well let's take this one at a time. For now, I'll keep you updated on all of this.
See you in a few! :)
