Lisa's Wedding

My younger sister Lisa is now a Johnson. She and Brent had a wonderful temple wedding on Friday night at 5pm. An evening wedding made it a bit of a challenge for pictures but here are the ones that turned out the best. We are all so happy for you Brent and Lisa. You were so handsome and beautiful. Since the weather was so frigid, the temple allowed us to take 2-3 pictures inside. Brent and Lisa endured the below zero temperatures for the rest.

Lisa's dress

Lisa sent these pictures over and I just had to share. She was able to get this dress for a very good price. Yeah! Mom had to do some slight alterations with the sleeves but it's all ready to go.

Also, best wishes to everyone taking finals this week! Especially Brent, Vashti, David, Sara, Daniel, Matthew, Rob, and Becky.

Setbacks and Showers

Earlier this week Brandon convinced me to move up my 6 week post partum doctor appointment because all of the pain I've been feeling. We went yesterday and discovered that my stitches are infected. No wonder it's been so miserable for me to sit down or stand up. I was really beginning to wonder if that much pain was normal. I'm so glad to know that it's not. Thank goodness for modern medicine - I should be (crossin' my fingers) back to normal (again, haha) in less than 10 days.

This past Saturday we (Mom, sister, and I) played hostess for my other sisters bridal shower. We held it in the Relief Society room of the local church and it turned out to be the most ideal spot. She was able to get a lot of practical stuff along with some fun stuff for her new adventure called marriage. She and her hubby Brent will be tying the knot in 8 days. I can't believe it's coming so quickly. Here is a link to their blog if you want to stay up-to-date with them www.beautifulroundofdays.blogspot.com

Love ya Leese.

Beginning to feel normal again

Just a quick update while Peter is sleeping. I am just now beginning to feel like a normal human again. I put on makeup for the first time in a month early this week - LOL. Peter is growing so quickly and I'm trying to enjoy every precious moment. Here are a couple of pictures I took last week.

We had a nice Thanksgiving holiday with the Thomas side. It was fun to take Peter out for a family gathering. He got this darling outfit from my sweet RS President. I am so glad that he actually fit into it. The little munckin is growing so fast that some of his clothes already don't fit. It's totally crazy.
