Kadee flew in late Friday evening, but still managed to get up with the early birds and come to work with Jennie and I. She wrote a paper for grad school in my room while my kids bubbled in standardized test answers (not my idea) and spent some time with Jennie and her sweet kiddos as well.
Evidently, I didn't do a very good job of pronouncing Kadee's new last name. Whenever my kids wanted to ask her a question, they kept calling her "Mrs. Promise" instead of "Mrs. Primus" - Ha!
Fun Friday Sisters
We woke up early Saturday to go to Jennie's apartment and help her get ready to take bridal portrait pictures in downtown Marietta. My mom's longtime friend, Anita Painter, came down with Mama to take Jennie's pictures. She is a fabulous photographer and as a wedding present for each of us, agreed to take our bridal portrait pictures. She and her husband, Terry, own a fantastic pottery store - Different Drummer Pottery in Maggie Valley, NC. They are an incredibly talented couple and we are quite blessed to call them family friends.
I was very tempted, but I didn't get any photos of the beautiful bride for fear that her husband-to-be, who trolls my blog from time to time, would see her in all her bridal glory before their big day.
Later in the afternoon, we made our way over to the Byrd's for Jennie's first official bridal shower! It was so much fun. The food and fellowship with friends and future family was fabulous. Whoa. That's an alliteration to be reckoned with!
The beautiful spread!

Bridal Bakeware
I've never seen a more hilarious toaster oven in all my life.
It's not often that we get all the Boone girls in one place anymore.
I love it.
This will have to hold me over until June 14th!
Most of the guests were gone.
We were trying to help clean up.
Not really.
I love it.

Brides to Be!
Sadly, Mama, Anita and Nattie had to head back after the shower on Saturday. On a happier note, we were able to keep Kadee until Sunday night! :-) Kadee and I woke up Sunday morning and joined Jennie and Chris at their church for worship. I love singing with my sisters - even if it's just while we're sitting in the same pew. We were able to hear Jennie and Chris sing the offertory music too! It was a fabulous Sunday.
After church, we all headed to Subway for a quick lunch where we noticed a new fashion trend.

The Pony Mullet!!
(Jennie has assured everyone this will not be the look the groom is going for on their wedding day. Sad.)

All in all, it was a fabulous weekend. I will admit to missing my sisters more than ever at the moment, but it did my heart a lot of good to be with my family for a few days.
I love you Lulas!

I took that last one. Normally you have to pay a pretty penny for that level of professionalism.
