First...the house:
We have basement walls!! It seems so simple but it's taken quite a bit of work to get to this point. And check out that sunset! (The boarded up section is the existing garage.)
Second, the wedding:
My bridesmaids threw a great bridal shower! Check out that food spread. We played games and opened presents. The girls were very creative with their gifts. I'm not showing you any of them...you'll just have to trust me.
Plans are coming together and so far everything is running smoothly. Let's hope that continues. I'm getting excited to get this party started, which makes it difficult to concentrate on the grown-up responsibilities I have.
I told John yesterday that after this was all done, I'm going to write a brochure on how to talk to brides. You should never leave a message that says, "I need to talk to you right away"...alone. It should always be followed by a reason. What we make up in our heads before we get a chance to talk with you is always much worse than what the reason actually is. This is also true of doctors calling patients, babysitters calling mothers, and bosses calling employees.
And while I'm at it...please return phone calls and emails. Even if everything is fine. It comforts us to know that you have heard us and agree with the plan. This may be what you imply by your lack of response but it makes us worry that you didn't get the message, you don't agree with the plan, or you suddenly decided to move to the south of France and forgot to tell us.
And now I'm walking down the soapbox steps.

Wow, you guys have a great foundation! It is so strong and so deep. It can weather anything. It was build by a master builder and will stand the test of time. I am sure it took a long time to build and a lot of hard work but it was worth it!

In your brochure you might want to add stuff about how if the bride delegates a task to someone, that person probably should avoid returning to the bride and saying stuff like, "Can you come with me and look at such and such that you asked me to look at for you," or "I went and looked at such and such, but I think it would be good if you made an appointment and go over there to talk to them for yourself." -- Gina
