My future SIL called me out on her blog so here is post #3!

So I innocently read Heather's (my future SIL) blog today, as I often do, and am pleasantly surprised to see she has announced my decision to blog to her blogging people!!:) I was also suprised to see I have 3 followers...now that pumps me up!:) Looks like I better get to typing!! So we have been engaged for 19 days (who's counting?) and I am really starting to have the wedding planning itch. We had decided before we got engaged that we would wait a month before we do any official planning. I am taking that as we are not going to write anything down for a month, but that does not mean I don't have the wheels turning upstairs. No date has been set, but we have thrown out a few dates. To clarify, we will not get married during football or basketball season, which for some teams can run into April (GO KU!) I have high hopes my Jayhawks will take it all every year...we will get into my KU obsession on a later post. We also are set on a destination wedding. My Dad has always hinted a destination would be his preference, but I have always countered and said he is not getting off the hook that easy:) When A and I started talking marriage, he made mention a destination would be his choice but if I wanted the BIG Tulsa wedding, he would support that. In my head, I thought I wanted a Tulsa wedding, reception at The Mayo, etc...especially since I "live" there. I mean, how convenient would that be? BUT, a few weeks ago we went to a wedding at the Mayo with about 350 people in attendance and my mind was quickly changed. Alan and my Dad +1. Just a side note, some close friends of mine got married last year and my parents and I went. It was a beautiful wedding/reception with the whole sha-bang. We are all sitting at the table eating, drinking and being merry, with the exception of my Dad. He looks like he is in deep thought and is really quiet. Finally someone asked him what was wrong and he said, "well I'm sitting here thinking that if you have this many people at a table and it costs this much per plate, just how damn expensive one of these things costs!" If you know my Dad, you can appreciate his concern:) So enough about wedding stuff for now. I'm sure there will be much more to come.
6 months ago today, Hadlea Easton Huskey was born! I can't believe it has already been 6 months! For those that don't know, Hadlea is Heather and Justin's baby girl, and our niece. I am already 'Aunt Amanda' and I LOVE it. Whenever I learn how to post pics, you can bet she will be featured. She is such a beautiful and sweet baby. I just love to hold her and hear her laugh. Alan and I adore her and can't wait to spoil her rotten! We already have a little frog pool waiting on her to break it in (hint hint). Tonight we are going over to their house to celebrate her 6 month bday and eat cake! Happy 6 month birthday sweet girl! We love you!
