My Little Sister is Married...weird. *

*Or also titled, "IT'S FINISSSSSHHHHHHHED!!!!!"

Tom & Becky "The Wedding" is over.

Just a few boxes to unpack from the car and I'll

spend the rest of this week relaxing. Maybe a

movie or two, some gardening, a gelati 'date'

(hint, hint, Donald).

Maybe I'll even fit some work in there. Ha ha.

Here's the list I've been crossing off in my gmail

tasks lists. I'm deleting it today.

BT "THE WEDDING"

• Coffeehouse/Social
• Backyard Shower at Mom & Dad's
• Amazing Race Bachelorette Party
• Invitations
• 12 Little Cakes
• Flowers
• Dress
• Ceremony
• Bar
• Decor
• Food
• Reception
• Candy Bar...
• Bridesmaid Dress
• Wedding Gift

Looking at those items (which each had about 3

sublists, I'll spare you boring wedding deets)it almost

looks like my wedding, which it definitely wasn't.

But I love lists, and I love getting details organized,

perhaps that's why Becky kept introducing me to

people as her 'Wedding Planner' over the last

couple of weeks. Funny thing is soooooo many

people kept mentioning that me and Corrie

(I'm only good at the organizing part, Corrie's the

creative/problemsolving/calming part) and Kim

(kim's the fun/smiley/make us laugh part)*

should go into wedding or event planning and

we're all like..."No Way!!"

Why? We do things on the cheap. We DIY it BIG TIME

and with whatever we have. It might not always be

the best idea, it might not even hold up the

whole time, we just make it work with what we have.

Why do we do it?

Yes, part because we're cheap (ahem, I mean frugal),

but we mostly do it because we love our family.

We love our sisters in a very special (gag) sister love

kinda way. It's pukey, but it's the truth. They'll still

love us if it doesn't go perfectly. They throw an idea

our way, we understand almost instantly and then

figure it out and try our best make it happen.

Being under pressure to make that happen?

Having to do things 'properly'?

I'd probably kill the first bride who hired me/us.

Plus, I think we've used up all our super good ideas.

And now we're done with weddings.

Forever.

But I can't WAIT to see the pictures,

it was a pretty freakin' awesome time.

Congrats to our feisty Bec AND

our new super awesome bro, Tom.

*(Yes, bec helps out with stuff too, but she's the whiney workhorse who helps get it

done... albeit very painfully. ha ha you know it's true bec!! But you know how to power

through and we still love you. And you make us take juice breaks, so that's cool.)
