Thursday Night…now known as “Family Night” was spent at the drive in.
We had a rough start to Family Night as we were missing the oldest child who decided that Del Taco was better than sitting at the table with his family and eating.
As we were packing up the truck to go, The Ex called and said he would be joining us.
Who am I to say no? I’m all about trying to make the ex’s happy.
We threw Kara’s bed in the back of the truck and grabbed a bunch of blankets. It was fun! It’s SO much more fun then the normal movie theaters! I always think the same thing after I go to the drive ins to see a movie, “Why do I go to anything other than the drive in? THIS IS BITCHEN!”

Family Night #2 went very well.

I checked the calendar. We are now into the ‘teens’ before the wedding. like eighTEEN days before the wedding. I guess this means I should start that treadmill and tanning thing I have been thinking about for the last 5 months.

I tried on the dress with the super bra. It still fits. It’s all wrinkled from being shoved in the hall closet for a few months, but my ever-so-awesome sister in law, Terry, is going to fix that for me. She also made the flower baskets.
I ordered the flowers, food and cakes.

Holy hell. I’m getting married in 8-TEEN days.

I think now would be a good time to go see my mom and sister.

    I wish we had a drive in around here….well we might have one, but it’s certainly not anywhere I’d feel safe going! Looks and sounds like you have a great thing going with the “Family Night” thing.

    Oh and 8-TEEN more days…YEA!!! :-)

    I really like this picture. I have to admit that it took me a moment to understand what I was looking at though. :)

    Sounds like you had a great time. I wish we had a drive-in closer than an hour away…

    oh my we took the kids to the drive-in for the first time over the weekend! It was so wonderful, and brought back such great memories. We had to go super early, as the line started 2 hours before the show. We saw “Cars” and it was great!

    Okay, that was enough. 18 days, woo hoo!

    I think if we have 18 days- Charlotte and I can start walking and we can make there in time. Whoooooo oooooo ooooo GO KRISTINE its your wedding day– go go go kristine (and shaun too)

    All I can say is, since you obviously won’t be taking pictures yourself (or will you?? I wouldn’t put it past you! :)), you’d better get a darn good photographer who will let you post pics here!

    7 teen days left!! You can do it!

    Cool–I remember going to a drive-in when I was little–Mom put me and my younger siblings in those pj’s with feet and we would all climb into the car and head on over–we would always go to see 2 movies at once…we went to see “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” and then I think it was “Big Business” with Lily Tomlin and Bette MIdler….fun stuff!

    Sounds like you are just about set to go!

    The only question I had was how does a photographer of your caliber find a photographer she trusts with her own wedding?
