lots of two[s]

like 
Twenty TWO days until the wedding
or
TWO more wedding showers this week
or
TWO houses to pack and move around this weekend
or
TOOO night watching Andy Roddick tennis match, could be his last ever.  can you believe this...i guess it is time [I am actually not that sad..the attitude is a turn off. just saying ha!]


anyway here are some pictures from the last TWO wedding showers

First one was with J's moms friends, so very kind of them to throw me a shower and such a beautiful and fun night with them





Shower number TWO was with my mom's side of the Family, given by my Aunt Terry at Egypt Valley.  It was also a great time and lots of great little details!
Can't believe all five showers have come and gone!

fun filled and workin weekend

Headed up north for a quick over night to hangout with Aoife, Al and the family
BEAUTIFUL night for a walk! I love summer

 Got to wake up and play with this little man
 Then take a sail and sun

 Then it was off to muskegon for J's friends wedding!
out on the lake, it was pretty and HOT

All the play resulted in workin it on Sunday
including moving some stuff out of my house [this is the real deal]
and including running down fuller to pick up a box that flew out of the trailer
only had to witness one Carol Rhoda Magnet be run over, not bad in the grand scheme of things!
