Cabin where the wedding will be!

Hi Everyone,

 

I just wanted to send you a photo of the cabin we are having the wedding ceremony at on Saturday!

 

I found a Rev. who will meet us there. If it is raining we will have the ceremony on the porch, if it isn't raining we will hike to an overlook that is on the property.

 

We will have photos taken via a tripod and the Rev. and we are also looking at setting up a video camera......so you can all see the ceremony later Saturday or Sunday when we upload the images and video to the website.

 

Love you all

Sarah and Donald

Happy St. Patricks Day

The day I can't join in and celebrate with a drink for obvious reasons, or go to a parade in St. Paul because we have one car, or wear green because I don't fit into anything in my closet anymore.

wow...apparently I have suppressed anger toward this particular time of year.

ANYWHO! Have a drink for me (those who are of legal age), see a St. Patty Parade, and wear all the green you can!

Love,
Apryl

Warm!

It's awesome here in Minnie-Snowtah! I can even open windows! Yay! Now as of right now dad and gary have to be wearing shorts. I mean it's practically tropical!

Jeff and I are currently looking for cars. The sex-scort finally broke down after 8 years or so but it's still sad. More sad just because we have to buy a new car right before the biggest expense of our lives is born. grr... We tried going yesterday but forgot that car dealerships were closed. But no one bothered us, so that's always nice! We're going to get a 4 door something. We don't know what though!

Hope everyone is doin good!

Funny joke

FBI needed to hire an assassin.  They were down to three candidates, two men and a woman.

The interviewers stood in a hallway and handed the first candidate a gun.  Pointing to a door, they said, "your wife is in there.  Go in and kill her."  The man looked at the gun and slowly shook his head.  "A job just isn't worth it," he said, and walked away.

They gave similar instructions to the second man.  He second man took the gun and walked into the room, but after several minutes came out sobbing.  (With stubbly knees too.)  "I just couldn't do it," he said tearfully.  "I just love her too much."

Finally the FBI interviewers handed the gun to the third candidate, the female.  "Your husband is in there.  Go in and kill him."  After a few minutes, loud crashing and bumping noises were heard from the room.  Finally the woman emerged, panting and drenched with sweat.

"The gun was loaded with blanks," she said, "so I had to beat him to death with the chair."

i had a dr. appt. last friday and she told me to slowly start packing my bags and have jeff keep his phone on! i'm scared. VERY scared! it's starting to become somewhat real now.

I miss you guys and can't wait to see you in August!!

Love Jeff and Apryl

Where's Waldo?

Here I am. It just took me about 30 minutes to catch up on everything. Congrats Sarah! Congrats Jordan! Great bumper sticker Dave! Way to survive the shower Apryl! Good luck on your college entrance test results Brooke! Looking forward to seeing the NC Hostetler family come August! Where was Jeff's pink shirt? I've always thought pink was his favorite color! No wonder my dad is always trying to cheat at cards, he got it from that cheating grandma of ours! Cheating at a baby shower, whats next?

Now to me: Go back to my last blog entry about two months ago and read that. Now your caught up!

Oh ya, Apryl tell that husband of your its almost golf season so that pull over better be finding its way back my way.

Hope all is well with everyone!
