Jason & Friends Wake Boarding

I have been archiving my home videos.  I came across this one of our son, 

Jason and his friends. It is funny!

It ends abruptly. I suspect the camcorder's battery ran out. 

I would have loved to hear their closing thoughts....ha ha.

This is Sky.  We are babysitting her this week for Jamie & Ryan.

We're Planning a Wedding!

Jen and Matt set a wedding day. August 27, 2011.

On Wednesday, Jen and I found a wedding planner (at Barnes and Noble) that seemed just right. Small enough to carry in Jen's purse and complete enough to have all the information that she'll need. We topped off our visit at B&N by picking up a Bride's magazine. Jen has had her nose in this magazine ever since... texting me about different ideas that she's reading about.

Jen and I went to a Bridal Shop on Saturday and she tried on dresses. It was so much fun. They wouldn't let me take pictures, but I went online and captured some pictures of the dresses.

After trying on a dozen dresses, which all looked good on Jen, we narrowed it down to 4 dresses.  Originally we were just going to get ideas of what dresses are available..... we didn't actually think that we would find one.... much less four! Jen wants Jamie to help make the final decision.

Saturday afternoon Jen & Matt and Dave & I visited the Hjemkomst Center. Would you believe it was all set up for a Wedding reception?  We didn't even have to use our imagination...it was beautiful!

It is a perfect place for a Wedding reception.  Jenny wants an outdoor wedding. Matt wants the wedding to be local. This is a perfect location. It's located in Moorhead. They can have the wedding and the reception at the same place. (Wedding outside, reception inside)

They want a very small (family only) wedding and then invite all their friends to the reception. If it rains they will use the little Stave church on the lot that holds a max of 50 people. Otherwise they will get married in front of the church.

It felt good to decide on the location of the wedding. You have to book a place a year ahead of time to get the date that you want. This place is already booked for most of next summer... but not August 27th....until today.





A year from now this couple will be standing at this same place but wearing wedding attire saying "I Do!"
