They usually last us a long time. This is an old picture taken in AZ this last summer - July, I believe. We got pedicures while visiting the Mulders in the Valley.
Today, Sunday, February 24th, Susannah finally removed the final flower details from her toenails. It had grown almost completely off and had become unrecognizable as a lovely flower. She's having trouble recognizing her own toes now.
She's pictured here with her roommate/shower organizer Nicole. A year and a half ago, we really wanted Brittany to marry our cousin Brent, but . . . Brent got married. At least she's marrying our good friend!
Here's the group of us minus Nicole who took this picture. It was a fun day!
Incidentally - unrelated to the bridal shower, but related to Brittany's fiance, it was exactly a year ago today (don't worry - the 24th was on a Saturday last year) that Joe and I ran the Cowtown half marathon in Fort Worth. Yee Haw!
I could not escape and began flailing my arms a bit. Somehow, my fingernail ended up stabbing right in to Anonymous's chin. Ouch!
He said my new nickname is "Panthress." Although it's not really my fault, per se, I still felt a little bad so I tried to make amends.
You'd feel better if you got this card, wouldn't you? I had Susannah make sure to get my nicely cut, filed, and shaped short nails in the photo.
Ben and Stephanie got married in the Salt Lake temple a couple of weekends ago. They're a great couple!
Not only did they have fabulous announcements, but their reception was so cute. Here's one of the centerpieces.
It was at an outdoor venue that was really pretty. It's brand new and is in The Woodlands. To bad a cold front hit right as we got there. The weather dropped 20 degrees instantly!
They had a lot of quilts up for display. This is a quilt that I LOVE. It is actually always on display in the Relief Society room in the LDS church building on the corner of Louetta and TC Jester. The quilt had to have taken hundreds (or thousands) of hours to complete!
Here's a group of us holding up a quilt that we just finished tying. Aubrey and and few others put several quilts together for us to tie! Next year maybe I'll brave the unknown and make a quilt of my own to donate!
Aubrey and Nichole had to tie this one on the ground because all of the quilt stands were being used.
Susannah was in charge of displaying all the quilts in the chapel. She just hung them over the pews.
Here's a shot of part of the chapel. All of the pews were covered by the end. Over 300 quilts were completed for NAM this year. It's a fantastic event!
We went out to dinner before the play. Adam and Susannah decided to switch coats. I actually don't know why.
Here's the group of us downtown at the Hobby Center. It was a fun time. Look at that picture - Adam's a lucky guy to be with all those great girls!
I had to take a picture of Paige's CUTE outfit! Just about every teacher in the school commented on it that day.
