weddings & tornados.

The Oklahoma History Center. Husband and I got married here- it didn't look much different from this picture except we had folding chairs and it was sunny outside. In planning my pretend blog wedding, I would consider this venue again- I love Oklahoma and our history. I played with The Oh Johnny! Girls and met Wanda Jackson in this room. We've also been featured in a few different exhibits in the museum- they have videos and memorabilia of my band which is pretty neat. You can see the state capitol and my dad's sculpture from this window. My dad had quite a role in the existence of the history center. Lots of oil exhibits, of course, so that ties into Husband's side of the family as well. The curator had talked to Husband about doing interviews with his family about their family business and their role in the oil business. If you are around Oklahoma City, you should check it out. http://www.okhistorycenter.org/
I can't decide on a color scheme for my blog wedding. Pink + Cream + Gold? Lavender + Gray + Black? Pink + Black + Gold? Lavender + Gray + Gold? Some variation of these colors.

I would def have Kathleen at www.jeremyandkathleen.blogspot.com design the invitations. She mentioned wanting to do a black on black design on twitter the other day and that sounds perfect. Check out her designs! Very cool. Very retro/vintage-y vibe.

Above: yes, I'll take this Vera Wang dress, please. I'm not afraid of a purple dress.

Below: bridesmaids perhaps?

Below: I'll also take this Vera Wang gown. Also not afraid of a pink dress!

Above and below: I would also try these on. Just to see.
Below: Speaking of glamour... yes, thank you.
Maybe I should be doing more constructive things with my time rather than pretend blog wedding planning. I don't know. I'm currently under the weather, which is an every other week ordeal in our household thanks to tiny toddler hands that must touch everything in public and the mini meltdowns where the kid actually seems to melt like butter on parking lot pavement or grocery store floors. If that fails to get us sick, there's always the children's day out program he goes to 3 times a week. I was always my mom's sickly kid. Maybe I like the attention too, who knows. I am, after all, a middle child.

Taking the kid to school.

New precious babies are being born, spring weddings are about to happen, couples are newly engaged. Shower this and shower that. It must be my age because I can't remember this many big things happening in one season. May I remind you, this is the season I turn the dirty thirty. On the real, you guys. Next post will have something to do with birthday wishes.

Finished making red beans + rice and cornbread for the boys and now I'm off to shower and then hang out in my beloved sweatpants (i seriously think Husband hid or threw away my blue ones!) and watch Californication. Yesterday we added Showtime to our cable channels just so we could check out season 4. I love Karen, she's my favorite character- and Hank Moody is easy on the eyes.
