So this last weekend we headed up to Utah for my cousin Kristy's wedding. We left Saturday morning and got there in the afternoon. It was really a nice weekend even though we only shopped a little tiny bit as this trip was NOT A SHOPPING TRIP per my husband. We really didn't do much of anything and that was ok with me. Sunday was Kristy's wedding and it started windy and cloudy. Not a good sign-but still plenty of time for the sun to come out. If the sun did come out on Sunday it didn't stick around. We left the house about 6 pm and it was already raining. Kristy and Charles were getting married at Log Haven and it was an outside wedding. It rained the whole way to the canyon. I think the rain stopped for about 20 minutes and then we were ushered outside so they could hurry and get married while the rain had stopped. I think they waited to long because by the time we got outside and sat down the rain started coming down again-HARD. So of course we all ran inside and Kristy and Charles ended up getting married in a small little room where not even half there guests could witness it (not to worry-I shoved my way in). Luckily Kristy didn't let it get her down-she had a smile on all the time I got to see her. And why not-there is nothing you can do about the rain so why let it bring you down on your special day. I wish I was more like that-I let things get me down too much. I will have to work on that. On the part side they had very pretty decorations and lots of candy to munch on!
So Saturday we pretty much spent the whole day looking for Halloween decorations. My whole family loves Halloween. Everyday Rylee asks me if it is Halloween time yet and I always have to tell her no, not yet and to quit thinking about it which is hard for her to do when I am constantly on the lookout for more Halloween decorations. Justin even gets into it. He says he likes Halloween more than he likes Christmas (which is just plain crazy). We don't do the cutesy Halloween house we do the scary Halloween house or so I like to think it's scary. It gets more fun every year as we keep adding to it. I remember the 1st scary skeleton we got and Rylee was really scared at first but then we just told her it was "Bob" and look at his dirty teeth from not brushing them and things like that just to make light of it. Now every skeleton guy she sees is "Bob". She hasn't been afraid since. Here is a picture of a "Bob". She would love this.
Sometimes I think that is a great thing other times it makes me a little worried. I even had a guy at Fred Meyer comment on it and how his 8 year old daughter is scared of everything and here's Rylee with a big grin on her face looking at all the scary things. Like I said before, I am not sure if I should be happy that she isn't scared or maybe a bit worried.
