Expensive

Yesterday I made a msitake that literally cost the company tens of thousands of dollars. Tens of thousands of dollars. That's a painful mistake to make.

Family Pictures

We haven't had a non-wedding family picture in over ten years. TEN YEARS. Do you know how much a family changes in ten years? I'll tell you - we've more than doubled how many of us there are.

Julie and Rob decided to leave states away, so it's not like we can just have a quick Saturday get together. They are coming in town for the wedding on Tuesday, so I thought we could arrange something while they're here. Well, they fly in at midnight the night before the wedding. Then Sheri and Josh are on their honeymoon until Sunday afternoon. Oh, and Kate's blessing is on Sunday at 11. So I thought maybe we could grab an hour or two that afternoon.

I really just want them to turn out, but now I'm so worried about things I'm sick - which colors? What location? Will everybody come?

I just want a family picture.

Stuck On This One

You borrow $400,000 on a standard 30 year fixed mortgage with a stated interest rate of 4.00% per year. It is 24 months from today, and you have just made your 24th payment. The market interest rate for a loan like yours is 6.5% per year. What is the market value of your mortgage? Why does this differ from the principal balance?

Our Wedding Day - Reminiscing

Sometimes it's fun to just go back through pictures and remember it all.

I love Tanner's smile in this one. :) Parker was being very shy.

This was torture for the kids to stay with us. We have about 4 pictures like this, each equally painful. :)

Grandma has a crush on TJ. It's not a secret.

Oh, my baby boys.

I am still not sure how I got that high...

I'm obsessed with my bouquet. Man, that's gorgeous. And I love the grasses.

My siblings
My "not blue skies" picture.

My mom made my cake - beautiful.

Finally a good picture with my baby boy.

Not sure what the issue is with Lexi. :)
