I've got a sickie...

Well.... We had to hit the pharmacy again after work because Barry is feeling so crummy. It's amazing how such a seemingly small thing can affect us! Look at all these drugs! He started off with DayQuil and that didn't work so well. So we moved on to the Alka Seltzer which was better but still wasn't doing the trick. We picked up the Walgreens brand of Sudafed to hopefully attack the sinus stuff and get it away. Also, my sister had recommended the Vicks rub to help with the cough.
And the KLEENEX! Boy, there are Kleenexes everywhere! He's taken packs to have in the car and at work and has gone through it all.

We're hoping he can hold out till Monday when he already has a scheduled appointment for the doctor. Since he was sick not that long ago, we're not certain if it just hung around or maybe that he's got allergy problems. YUCK!

Boss' Day

Since during this week it was Boss' Day, my team decided to celebrate it over a couple days. The first day we gave her flowers, the second day this gift basket, and the third day donuts from a local bakery.

Despite the craziness of this week, I think we showed her that she is appreciated.

Card Work Project

(Whew! It's taken almost a week to get this picture to come up straight instead of sideways!)

My boss asked me to make some cards to be sent to new leaders in the ministry. I found the red swirly paper and coordinating red solid paper at Hobby Lobby. I also found this plastic template thing to draw the swirly design. I added cream organdy ribbon and the emblem with 3d tape.

I plan to go through and add the individual's first initial to the bottom right corner in calligraphy to finish them off!

Working at My Parents'

My parents have bought a home that needs a bunch of work before they can move into it. Although they've had different individuals come and work on it, it's still got a ways to go before they can live there. My brother-in-law is a handy guy and has been going down every once and a while and doing projects here and there.

An aunt and uncle came down from Nebraska to visit my parents and they got in on the action too! My uncle does a lot of fixing up work and was a great resource.

Here's Barry, my uncle Bill, and my dad working on a cabinet for the kitchen.
Here's my nephew working hard outside!
Break time! My sister, my mom, my nephew, and my aunt Audrey hanging out in the "man cave".

The Wedding

Here are a few pictures from the wedding...
We didn't get to stay long enough to have cake, but heard that it was yummy! Aren't the fondant flowers beautiful?! Sorry for the poor quality, but this is their first dance as husband & wife! They were so cute!

Here's the table arrangements. They sprayed the branches gold and then added peacock feathers to the arrangement. On the table were little bowls with roses and a couple candles. It was very beautiful.
The party favor was some marshmallows as the couple had roasted marshmallows on their first date. The colors were navy blue and gold.

It was a great night even though we didn't get to stay for the whole time.

A wedding!

We are headed to a wedding tonight! My boss's daughter is getting married.

I made this card -- with the same papers that I've done several wedding cards, the black swirly with some white organdy ribbon, and I did calligraphy of their names. Inside I also wrote in calligraphy - "Congratulations!" It's not too fancy, but it gets across the message.

We'll tuck a gift card inside and call it good! :)

It happened!

Today, Thursday, October 13, we officially passed the 200,000 mile mark on the Jeep!

Crazy, huh?! God has taken such good care of us with this vehicle over the last 7 years. We hope there's more to come!
