Happy Birthday Dave

Today is my sweetheart's birthday. I am so thankful to be married to such a wonderful man. I won't list 39 reasons why I love him because if you know Dave at all you know why he is such a great guy. I'd like to thank his parents for raising him to be so respectful to women and a big thank you to his Mom, Judy, for letting him and his brothers play with their "guys" (dolls) growing up, it has made him a very gentle and caring father.

I love you honey!

p.s. Any of the Wright brothers who would like to claim their guys...they are in my closet, please come get them!

Wright Weddings

For years now I have enjoyed helping people plan and decorate for their special day, be that weddings, receptions, showers or other events. I truly enjoy this and hope to do it for many years to come. The town I live in does not have much of a market for event planners, so I do it from the comfort of my home and use word of mouth to keep myself busy. I decided to gather all my photos and put together a website where I can showcase what I love to do.

Check it out at http://www.wrightweddings.webs.com.

Some of you may see yourself in my photos. If you prefer I do not use your photo please let me know.

To my special friends who help me pull off these amazing events...I love you and am so thankful for you! You know who you are.

First Day of School

As many of you we also started school yesterday (8/12/09). Adam is in 3rd grade and Carson started Kindergarten this year. They were both excited but Carson especially. He woke up so happy and couldn't wait to get there. He is Mrs. Smith's class, she is so wonderful, a real Mommy to her class. He is so lucky to have her. Adam is in Ms. Shaw's class, the same as last year. She got to "loop" up with her 2nd grade class, which means that most of the kids are the same as last year. They also have the same classroom, so Adam pretty much knew what to expect. She gave them a ton of homework to do over the summer...computer work, workbook pages, summer memory box and reading logs. Adam was turn it all in!

I did pretty good and held it together until we pulled up at the school and Carson got out with his backpack on, then I lost it. Good thing I wore sunglasses! Dave was able to take the day off to be with us and I am so glad he was there.

This morning I put the boys on the bus and started crying again. Adam caught me this time and told Carson. As Carson was walking up the stairs of the bus he called out, "Don't cry Mommy!". I'm sure the bus driver thought I'd lost my mind. Today is sure peaceful and quiet at home. Brady isn't sure what to think about all this alone time and I'm sure I had more time to myself when the older boys were here to entertain him. Hopefully soon we'll get used to the routine.

This is our traditional first day of school picture taking spot. The tree has grown lots in 3 years.
