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!
