Life has been crazy busy with going to Ohio for two weeks, Alan changing jobs and then traveling for said new job a bunch, preschool, but especially Young Womens and a wedding.
Back in April, I was called to be the 1st counselor in YW and it has been kicking my butt ever since. I loved being the secretary in YW (my old calling) - such a cush calling and no real responsibility plus it is detail and computer oriented (right up my alley). This new calling is so different. Planning activities, dealing with teenage problems (and it is drama all the time), lessons, having my advisor moving, etc. Plus for a while there, Alan was YM 1st counselor so both of us had to be at church on Tuesdays - can we say coordination nightmare. So anyways, for the last few weeks, I have been working on the etiquette dinner with Jenni. A fun activity but a lot of info to deal with. Jenni did the invitation (totally cute) and coordinating the participates. I was in charge of the handout and the quiz. Lots of info and unfortunately the dinner is on Tuesday but I am gone this weekend.

Yes, I am leaving in an hour to go to LA for a friend/co-worker's wedding. 2 ex co-workers and I are going together - no husbands, no kids. Super excited. It is at the Ritz in Marina del Rey. I will have to post pics when I get back. Tonight is a Chinese banquet and then Saturday night is the wedding. So fancy (so for me, a little stressful finding the right outfits and accessories). So after 7 or so dresses bought and 6 returned, this is what I am wearing to the wedding itself (in brown):
Not sure what I am wearing tonight since dress code is "spiffy sportswear". Not sure what that means or how to dress. What do you think...trouser jeans okay with heels?
Have a good weekend all!

Okay... a trip to Disney this year (with friends) and now a wedding (with other friends)... what do I have to do to get you to visit me in AZ??? Marry off my almost - 12 year old? :)
By the way... what are "trouser jeans"??? You know me... it takes me at least 2 fashion seasons to catch up to the current trends...
Glad you're ALIVE!!! You are busy, wow. That's crazy that you were both the 1st counsilers. What were they thinking!!! That is a way cute dress, absolutely love it! I think trouser jeans will do just fine! =)
So good to know that you're alive, although very busy. I hear you on the YW stuff, having done it before for years. I can't believe they have both you and Alan in the youth programs at the same time-not good for a family. Have fun at the wedding. Love the dress but have no idea what spiffy sportswear even is.
Hope that you have a wonderful time. Sounds great no kids for a whole weekend.
YAY! We survived the dinner! It turned out great! SO glad you got to get away for a weekend of fun...always a plus! And by the way, I LOVE that dress!!!
Love the shoes, love the dress, love everything! Hope you had fun.
1st, I am so glad that you are alive and posting :)
2nd, I LOVE the dress -it looks perfect. I"ll be that you rocked it :)
Sounds like a blast. Brown is a perfect color for you. I'm sure you rocked the world!
