Im trying to set up senior pics for Julie. I have a twin momma friend that does photography.. she will shoot me a whole disk for $50. Im excited about that.

 

[staley7580]

I think thats a bit of a bonus with girls. Julie holds my hand when we go shopping still!

Sarah and her mom have a room, Rochelle plans to stay overnight and possible in their connecting room. We have you, Megan, possibly Melissa, Alison and me to figure out hotel room. Alison can get a BW employee rate, awesome prices.

So are we getting connecting rooms for the 4 of us? Or are we getting connecting rooms with Sarah and her mom? And nobody will need to sleep in the tub? So I can take a shower in the morning?

Rochelle is at DL right now, she says hi!

What?! Tell Rochelle I said hi! I can't wait to see you guys.

Awesome! We just took pics at home and chose one, something we could get away with for a boy..

Senior year was soooooo expensive!

Wow, that's a steal!

I bought a deal on LivingSocial for a photography session. I don't really have a good picture of the 3 of us, and I suddenly feel the need to get a whole mess of 'em! I had taken down all the family photos I had on the walls, and they looked so bare, it made me so sad. Now I'm looking forward to making happy memories of the three of us and having pictures around the house again.

I guess that depends on what Alison finds out with her best western discount. We actually did just fine with three of us in a room last time. Far, long, butt dragging, but doable walk at that location. But it changes of which one they allow with employee discount. There are I think 4 locations? The far one, the one that is a few blocks from that one and two that are near the crosswalk.

Yeah... we have outfit changes, and all kinds of stuff. we are doing outdoor shots. TELL ME ABOUT IT. Im kinda freaking out a little. I have so much I have to take care of on a daily basis.. But now I have to handle all her senior stuff, and plan a party and such.. gah. and we dont even know for sure how many people are coming from germany..

awesome. We went to sears last christmas and got pics done with all the kids. DHs little brother came and stayed with us for a MONTH. It was miserable.. But we took all 6 kids down and got pictures of them.

Yeah... It was FAR. In the rain... FAR. But Im fat, and I have bad hips. You know... 14lbs of twins and all.

Announcements (skipped them, cheapest package from Jostens with the cool calligraphy and such was $60), open house invites, pictures, yearbook (skipped it and gave him the money $70), all night party ($50), AP test (he paid for it, $80?), ACT test, food for the open house... School paid for cap and gown (Jostens)..

The school got a grant to offer the ACT test for free for the juniors last year, hoping they do that for Noah next year.

Three, I think she said. I checked a DL area map, and two were pretty close to the park entrance, and one was on Katella not too far from PPH. And yeah, she told me about the deal she got before, but it was a bit of a walk. She mentioned possibly the Carousel, too, for checking rates. I'm not sure if she's had a chance yet, though, I think that was later last week.

I was telling my mom and sister about the trip, and my sister said it sounded like a lot of fun. I blurted out, "Wanna come?" and she said, "Well, maybe."

Not sure how serious she was, or if she could afford the time off and all that. I think she'd have fun, though. (She takes a VERY long time in the bathroom, what was I thinking?!)

Not sure if we are doing anouncements.. Might just print them ourselves.. Yearbook for sure, Not sure about any of the testing either.. She isnt staying in the states after graduation so I dont thik she is going to need to do it.

I recall my grandmother (mother to a dozen children, one set of twins) chiding me when I complained about getting curves.. she said "those are child birthing hips, you will be happy to have them some day"

Very wise woman.

I got me some birthing hips alright!! When we started looking at motorcycles... after a day of swinging my legs up over them I thought I was going to DIE. My hips about just GAVE OUT!
