I can't believe that it is October already........


It feels like just yesterday I was saying "I can't believe it is September already". Though I am always sad to see the hot temperatures leave at the same time it is refreshing to feel the fall breeze! The crispness in the air when you walk outside and the sound of the leaves crunching under your feet.....does it get any better?



Well, here it is one week before my bro's wedding............I am sitting in my office supposedly finishing my MC speech and here I am blogging.......

Nothing like procrastinating.


This is not going to be easy for me to do as I am an emotional person. I was the maid of honour for my sisters wedding and when I stood up to give my speech I got through about 30 seconds before I started to cry.

How uncool is it to have a bumbling crying MC........mortifying!


With the usual siblings spats aside, my bro and I have been very close for a very long time. We went through the highs and lows of our teen and twenty something years together, being so close in age. Through the good and the bad, we have come out of all our family dynamics close siblings and friends. So, I am honoured to be his MC.........but truthfully with the wedding days away I am getting nervous as heck.......what did I get myself into???

Talking in front of all of those people????

And to boot, because my brother and I are both in the funeral business as is his soon to be wife, there will be many of my fellow funeral directors there........no, no pressure at all......


I am praying a glass or two of wine makes all the jitters go away!!!


This weekend we hung out with my bro and his son, Tyler......Lisa had to work for the weekend. We had a BBQ with mom....always so nice being with family. We spent the night around the fire chatting and drinking coffee together....talking wedding details. My bro seems cool as a cucumber and very anxious....


On Sunday Antz and I went hiking and then spent the rest of the day outdoors together.
It is a busy week for us, so we had an early night on Sunday......sleepy time right after we watched the season premier of Brothers & Sisters......that is the best show. It makes me want to have 6 children!!!


It has been years since I have enjoyed a show as much as I do this one.....if your not already watching it, than you must check it out on Sundays.


Here are a few new pictures we got of hubby and I!!



Happy Fall!!

Thank you for stopping by my blog and offering your support in the Guatemala adoption crisis. As you said, every little bit helps. The whole adoption program there has always been shady.
So, perhaps your picture series could be called "Crystal & Anthony in the Garden of Eden". Great looking pics.
I have added your blog to my 'bloglines' and will keep abreast of your story.
Thank you for your hearts for adoption.

I am glad it is not me being an MC at a wedding or anything for that matter... I would rather have my fingernails pulled... take care and will drop by again - thanks for dropping by my site. Don't be a stranger.
