Mom, Micaela, Katelyn and I were at a baby shower for a dear friend on Saturday. Check out our flickr for some pictures of the adorable little guy - so big already and only a month old! All of the women in the house were ooh-ing and aah-ing over the toys, books, clothes, and other important stuff that a baby needs (note to self: remember stuff) when I walked upstairs to get myself a glass of water.
The men were in the kitchen. Dad, grandpa, and a couple of neighbors. The grandpa of the newborn is dad’s “boyfriend”. It’s not entirely uncommon for his truck to spend all day at our farm, nor is it uncommon for his wife to call up looking for him or just leaving a message for him. If dad’s not around, I might ask mom questions like where’s dad? Oh, he’s out with Bob. Why are you so stressed out, mom? Oh, it’s because your dad and Bob went up north snowmobiling and I have to do all the chores. Who almost ran dad over with his snowmobile? Bob (true story). Who’s in the hot tub with dad? BOB.
Bob is a funny guy, always joking and laughing. He’s well known for his crazy hair and boisterous personality. On Saturday he had a suitably ‘BOB’ question for me:
If getting married is so great, who do you only do it once?
Oooooh boy. *rolls eyes*
But I had an answer for him. One word:
PLANNING.
The all-consuming, never-ending, time-sucking, money-eating world of WEDDING PLANNING.

i think planning a wedding is the worst torture ever known. it made whiney, grumpy, boring, gain weight and cry a lot! in fact, my wedding planning experience sounds a lot like how pregnancy would be…maybe i should rethink the 5 kids thing.
but really, it’s worth it! i think back all the time about how amazing it all was (the actual wedding day - nothing else). and how amazing it is that matt actually married me after all that!
That reminds me of the movie title,”Where’s BOB?”

I liked planning! But it’s probably because Scott didn’t really want to help that much and D seems to be way in to it.
So True!
I planned my whole wedding in about 8 months by myself ( with help of my mum of course ) while raising my year old baby boy!
it was Nuts!
LOL oh that silly Bob.

I agree with Kate that planning a wedding is way better (I would imagine anyways) when the male in question doesn’t care how it goes. It just adds so much stress when you have to merge together two conflicting ideas in order to make both of you happy. It would be nice to just have to worry about my own opinion and not have to try and convince a boy to have the same opinion as me (haha.. not really joking).
That being said, it is also kind of nice when they do care.. hmm… I think that I need Kent to care wholeheartedly and be totally into it with absolutely no opinions that differ from mine. Goooood luck…

Matt - traditionally, yes. Some people just like to do things a little different.

Going to the Bridal show on Saturday scared the CRAP out of me!!!!! All that decision making…part of me dreads the beginning and end of it. hahaha
I wold be ok planning someone elses I think, but I care too much about other peoples opinions!
Good Luck Eri, and Mic!!!
Hi Erica!
I’m over here checking out the madness that is you and your sisters!
I have a brother, but I’ve wished since the day he was born to have a sister. (Probably explains why I used to dress him in girl clothes!) As brothers go - he’s a good egg.
I’m going to add you ladies to my list of blogsites and try and keep up with the mayhem.
Thanks for stopping by gnomeangel.com!
