Topeka. . . .

What a B.U.S.Y.  weekend!  Lots to do with so little time to do it in! 

Saturday morning started out with Michele and Nick looking at another house. . . . . AND making an offer! How exciting.  By the end of Sunday. . . . they negotiated and offer accepted!! 

Then we were off to our paint class with Junque in my Trunk.  Karen is a distributor for The American Paint Company and sells her products and painted items in the NOTO district at Pinkadilly.  She is the sweetest and man she knows her paints.  The class was an express class on the paints and techniques to use them and the waxes.  I even got to quiz her on my trim I'm refinishing.  I just can't seem to get it to look like I want.  She suggested some great ideas!!  I guess you would say I'm self taught on my paining.  Once I have some "extra" time, I hope to be able to go to one of her Beginners classes.  I just find it all so exciting!!


Next on the list was the photographers. . . . . Checked off the list!

And then to the bridal shop!

After several hours. . . . yes. . . . several hours {and this is not our first visit} bridesmaids dresses are ordered.  And Jessica has said YES to the dress!  What a great feeling to have this done and ordered.  And what great bonding time these girls had.  Just too bad her last bridesmaid could not make it as she lives in Oklahoma. 


We finished the weekend with a very beautiful church service where Jessica got baptized at their church in Topeka.  

After visiting a little more it was time for me to hit the road to the west.  Jessica was on her way back to the bridal store to verify some sizes.  And Michele was taking a load of her belongings to Nick's mothers to store until they get moved into their new house. 

What a busy month!  Next trip to Topeka is MOVING weekend for BOTH the girls.  We will be soooo happy when that is over.  Just around the corner! Yiyiyi!  

Exciting things are happening for The Ummel's!

Mother of the bride. . . . . .



Obviously I don't expect either of my daughters to wear or even love my wedding dress.  But what exactly do you do with it?  After 28 years of being boxed up and stored in the back of my closet, I have made a decision. The decision of what exactly to do with my dress. My Aunt Sharon is cutting it apart. YES! She is cutting it apart and making me two baby baptism gowns. Two daughters. {Grandbabies. Someday}.  With the scraps. . . . . .   Something for the girls to carry down the isle. I can NOT wait to see what she comes up with!

diamonds & cowboy boots. . . . . . {May 9, 2015}

This is going to be soooooo much fun!  Last weekend was the Topeka Bridal Fair.  Jessica, Michele, Lena (Gabe's Mom) and I attended.  If only we had a unlimited budget.  Wow!  You name it.  It was there.  Besides walking our feet off, we got lots of ideas.  Ate lots of cake.  Made lots of plans.  Deposits made to hold the date.  And some meetings are planned.  We are on it!  Looks like I will be making a few trips to the east.  And Jessica will be making a few trips to the west.  Am I really old enough to be the "Mother of the Bride"????
