weddings!

paul & charity are getting married this weekend!

adam & i are in the wedding party, so it should be a very eventful and fun weekend. we get to spend some time with friends we don't see often, like mark & maegan, so i am looking forward to it. i really love the bridesmaid dresses charity picked, and thank goodness they are full length, because it's literally below freezing outside right now.

most of my christmas shopping is done, and i do have ideas for most of the people left on the list. hopefully the weather will cooperate tomorrow so that i can try to finish up. adam & i decided that instead of picking out gifts for each other, we would buy gifts we could both enjoy...so we got a ps3 and rock band 2 and went ahead and started using them last weekend. we get to have three different christmases, so we didn't think it would ruin christmas to open the presents early. we have been playing rock band almost every night. adam named our band 'the franklin experience' and we've got a jet and roadies and play all over the world! it's so much fun.

i have a few projects i need to work on for shelly's wedding, but i was a little worried about driving to hobby lobby because of the icy roads. hopefully i can run over there tomorrow to try and get everything i need. i have to come up with ideas for decorating the reception and for the bridesmaids bouquets. i am pretty confident that i will be able to do something really nice for the bouquets that is also way cheaper than a florist. shelly just wants white roses, so it's more about figuring out a way to add in beads or something to make them super cute and unique. so i have got to do a few practice attempts in order to fully convince shelly that this will be a good idea. also, i have a few ideas for chair covers, bows, etc for the reception that i need to play around with...

if i get a chance to work on any of these projects before we go out of town this weekend, i'll try to post pictures!
