The DeLorme Family: Flower Girl Fun

This past weekend was the big wedding. We spent all weekend up in Denver and had a wonderful time! Ashlyn did a great job as flower girl. We started the weekend on Friday night at the rehearsal. The wedding was at a beautiful garden in Denver. It was the PERFECT spot for a wedding. Ashlyn practiced walking down the aisle and did pretty good. Joey was standing at the end, so she just literally ran down the aisle to him. It was pretty funny! After the rehearsal, we headed to an Italian restaurant for dinner. The food was wonderful! Ashlyn got pretty antsy during dinner.

The next morning, we woke up and did some swimming in the hotel pool. We went out to lunch and just spent the day hanging around the hotel. We headed to the wedding around 4:00. Joey was the officiant for the couple. He was a bit nervous for the ceremony. The guests were arriving and we stood around and waited for Ashlyn's turn to go. Since it was outdoors, we had to stand right behind all the guests. It was pretty challenging to get Ashlyn to stand quietly while we waited for the ceremony to start. When it was time for Ashlyn to go, she was very excited to get down because I had been holding her for a while. She started walking down the aisle. I thought she was going to walk the whole way. She kind of looked up and saw everyone staring at her, and did a big U turn. It was pretty funny and cute. I grabbed her hand and walked her the rest of the way. Everyone was commenting on how cute she was as we walked down the aisle. We sat in the back during the ceremony. I came prepared with some fruit snacks that kept Ashlyn very busy. She actually set quietly during the ceremony. All and all she did a great job for her age. Joey did a great job officiating the ceremony. I don't think anyone would have guessed it was his first time. We were very proud of him! After the ceremony, my parents met us at the garden and picked Ashlyn up for the night. We headed to the reception and had a great night!

This has been my first week of summer break. Ashlyn and I are having a wonderful time spending all day together. The weather has been just horrible. It has been cold and raining for the last two days. Ashlyn is dying to get outside and play with her new swing set and sandbox. Hopefully one of these days this week! We went to Ashlyn's gym class today. Today, she was showing me how well she has mastered the the word "no". Everything she was saying was "no". I have been dreading this day for a VERY long time! It should be fun to see how and when she continues to use the word "no".

Ashlyn is going to her 2nd birthday party Saturday. It is for a friend that is turning 3. She is having a princess bounce house party. I am thinking that Ashlyn will have a blast! Besides that, we do not have any plans.

I have a big job interview on Thursday. It is a 4th grade position at a school right down the street from my old school. It would be great because I would already be very familiar with the curriculum. I would LOVE to be offered a position sooner rather than later so I can enjoy my vacation without worrying about a job! I really, really want this job! Please pray that my interview goes well!

At lunch before the wedding. I bought her this shirt a long time ago. I just randomly packed it for her to wear. When I put it on that morning, I realized it said "I am a flower girl". It was really funny!
