She’s A Rockstaaaar!!!

Back at the beginning of the wedding planning, Mike & I discussed creating a CD for wedding favors. It was a logical choice, considering he sings bass for the Lager Rhythms. However, then we moved. And there were a lot of other things to plan and do. Plus I’m Chelsey’s Maid of Honor for her September wedding. I decided to prioritize things based on the essentials versus the fun items that would be nice to have.

The CD was pushed to the back burner, but I knew I really wanted them. I didn’t want a favor that people would just toss. I think people are a lot more likely to listen to a CD and hold on to it. But there just wasn’t time to do it all.

Then Kymberlie came to my rescue. She’s a ROCKSTAR! She’s a diva! She is sooooo wonderful. I love and adore her. Why? Because the CD master, the queen of Burn It, offered to make the CDs for us.

YES! We will have CDs at the wedding to give to our guests!

It took me a couple of days to get the play list perfect. It includes the four songs that the DJ “must” play at the wedding: our first dance, the father/daughter (and mother/son) dance, a song we are dedicating to our guests, and the last dance song. It includes songs about love and happiness together. It includes songs special to both of us that we have loved since childhood. It includes Barry Manilow and Kermit the Frog. It simply ROCKS!

She helped us find the perfect photo, and with some going back and forth we got the text on there and it looks gorgeous. I can’t wait to get my hands on one of them tomorrow when we go to Galveston!

And I wouldn’t have them without Kymberlie. I can’t even begin to tell you how much Mike & I appreciate her help – it’s like the finishing touch on what will be a fabulous day!

Blessings Hide In Strange Places…

Reading about this fantastic teacher makes me wish that all teachers could be so good. That would be a parent’s dream come true. It’s also refreshing to see someone go through such a tragic accident and turn their life around in to so much good that has touched so many others. Funny to think that sometimes the biggest blessings are all around you, even in the dark and lonely places, waiting for you to find them. [Via Sarah]

After a long day, it was just a little much needed reminder…

I Have a Need…

Eep! I’m gathering things together for the wedding, and I need a copy of “For Once in My Life” from the Frank Sinatra Duets II CD. Anyone have it? The rest of the album is available through Rhapsody, but that track isn’t – and it’s the one I need!

For the Record…

For the record, cottage cheese is one of the most vile and disgusting foods ever made. Nasty!
