The rest of this year is going to be busy, busy, busy. May we have my future SILs (Sister-in-laws) high school banquet, as well as graduation to attend. I am so happy for them that they have completed this goal in their lives and will continue on to college. In June, Ola's birthday, fathers day, and also a trip to Disney. July is our engagement bbq, August is Bryce's birthday, the boys joint birthday party, and the family reunion. September is Myles' birthday. I don't think I will be able to rest until October, but then it will be time to prepare for Christmas. It is definitely going to be a crazy, fun filled, busy, busy, busy rest of the year.
Let's go back to talking about the engagement bbq. Ola and I are having a bbq on July 4th, 2 days short of one year before our wedding in 2013. We will be inviting family, family friends, and people who are in our wedding party. We will be having it in a park in Chicago. I am somewhat stressing about all of this. I want everything to go alright. I think if we just had our friends coming to help celebrate with us it would be fine. But when you add each side of our families then there is an added stress. I am really trying to remember that it is our day and we will enjoy it even if everyone else does not. This idea goes for the bbq, the wedding and any other party or get-together that happens in between. So I have been pinning a few ideas for ice breakers and games that we can play. I will have balls and bubbles for children but I also wanted some, "get to know each other" games and activities. I am looking up some ideas, and as I look I am getting more and more excited, but the family dynamics still worries me. We still have a little bit of time, and other things to plan for as well. But this bbq is what is most on my mind.
Thinking about it all makes me want to have a whole bottle of wine to myself. (Laugh out loud) So cheers, here is to a busy rest of the year, stress free and to planning my engagement bbq.
