Back Home and Recovering

you should have seen her, she was a rock star.

friday night we had the rehearsal dinner and then after the dinner, there was a kick off party. i was planning on taking the shuttle back to the hotel,

but harper walked off with some of jimmy’s friends telling them she was going to the party.

she looked back and said “you comin’ mama??”

uhhhhh yes i’m coming, you are TWO!!!!!!

she danced on the dance floor until an ungodly hour, but she was the belle of the ball.

she danced with lots of her daddy’s friends and i was teary-eyed all night b/c he should have been there. but his friends are amazing and i’m glad she got to get to know them.

then saturday was a looonnnng day for her.

there were some major delays in the weekend, because of the torrential (and i mean torrential) downpours that occurred both fri. and sat.

so there was a lot of waiting.

and a lot of her having to sit still so that she didn’t get her gorgeous dress dirty. but she was a real trooper:

for those of you who asked, her boots are ariat fat baby boots.

her beautiful dress was strasburg children.

i was a tad concerned about how she would do during the wedding.

she had to walk down the aisle with a precious little boy and hold his hand.

she kept giving him the stink eye all day long and mumbled things like

“that curly-headed boy is going to try to touch my flowers”.

but they were SO CUTE. they held hands and walked slowly and she was

verrrrrrrrry serious about it all.

and then she danced and danced again all night long.

she kept saying ” i want to PARTY PARTY!!!” and she danced like the energizer bunny.

well, the help- yourself candy station and lollypop the size of her head probably had something to do with that energy.

so we are home. and i’m STILL tired.

harper seems just fine though, ha!!!

i wanted to share a link with you guys.

jimmy and his guys were in the new york times again today.

today it is a cover story.

you can find the story and multimedia here.

i watched it this morning and i’m just heartbroken.

the multimedia portion made me cry.

i just wanted to share it with you all.

have a beautiful day…gosh it’s good to be home!!
