Special Occasions

These last couple of days have been full of celebrations. Of course Mother's Day was Sunday. Ando and I first went to his parents to wish his mom a happy Mother's Day. We just hung out in the afternoon and played some Wii. There was a little wedding talk, but not too much which was fine with me. I am getting a little sick of wedding problems; well really just the one, reception place. If I have my way that will be picked by the end of this weekend.

After hanging out with Ando's family we headed off to my parents house. All of my siblings plus my grandmother and grandpa were there. That was more people than what we had for Thanksgiving. Quite a rare day for all of my siblings to be at the same family function together. We did the typical eating and talking with a few beers mixed in. My grandma and sister-in-laws all got to see the engagement ring as well. They all seemed to like it, but then again who doesn't say they like an engagement ring?

The second celebration was for Mateo's, Ando's brother, birthday. His birthday was on Tuesday and the fam, plus Coral, Mateo's girlfriend, were going out to dinner to celebrate. I didn't think I was going to be able to make it, but at the last minute, well really I was already there, our shoot got canceled. Macho Max and I were starting to set up for our shoot when we realized nothing was set up which was a little fishy. We asked around the school and found out there was no shoot that night. I guess no one felt like calling and telling us it got canceled.

Since my shoot wasn't going to happen I was able to meet Ando and the family for Mateo's birthday dinner. They were all eating at Ambar in Clifton. I got there just in time to sit down and eat the dinner they had ordered. It was all very good, but you really can't go wrong with Indian. After our awesome meal we headed to Graeter's for some ice cream. Ando and I just split one scoop since we both need to get in tip top wedding shape. The only way that is going to happen for me is if I starve myself and the chances of that happening are slim to none.

All the celebrations were a good time and I hope everyone enjoyed their day in the spotlight. I have included some pictures of our yard blooming in the springtime for you to enjoy. They kind of say Mother's Day to me!

I have nothing new wedding wise and really won't for awhile. I am trying not to think of anything till July or August. If you have any suggestions for my last line I will take any and all of them.
