Missing Child.

Here in Portland we've all been praying and sending well wishes to searchers, Kyron and the family of missing Kyron Horman.  This sweet 7 year old little boy went missing on Friday morning from his Elementary school after a science fair.  The police haven't given the Media much information on the search but we do know that this sweet boy is missing and has been for 6 days.

If you're one to pray please pray for Kyron's safety and that he is found and reunited with his family soon! 

If you're not one to pray well wishes would be appreciated. 

I've attached a link to the story on the search as well as the Missing Child posters.

This story makes me sick to my stomach.  I can't imagine how his family is feeling!

Wedding Wednesday!

It's Wedding Wednesday here in bloggy land so I thought I'd give you all an update on our wedding planning! I know so many of you love all things wedding :)

Well, for starters I have booked the Most AMAZING make up artist for the day of. She will do both my hair and make up!

Nicole Wagner - Check her out if your in PDX!

Mr. Vid recently conveyed to me that getting married in the Catholic Church was not that important to him and that he actually had some concerns about it.

The first being that a full mass was mandatory!  I know that for some this isn't a big deal, however, for me it was. A full hour of standing up in front of 200 + guests is nerve racking. I think standing up in front of 200 guest for 1 second is terrifying, let alone an hour!

The second being that we really wanted a 5 o'clock wedding.  The absolute latest we'd be able to hold the ceremony at the Church would be at 3. Meaning that we'd have to move the reception up to about 430.. Totally was not our initial vision. 

The solution...? I'm thinking we go back to our original plan.  Plan to have our ceremony on the front lawn at the Country Club and if it's supposed to rain we'll move it indoors. I've set up a meeting with the coordinator at the club to discuss our options regarding a rain plan and am hoping Mr. Vid will like the options we're given!

I have lots of fun stuff planned as far as the wedding goes BUT you'll have to wait to see them as they come along! 

Happy Hump day!

Top 2 Tuesday!

 I'm playing along with Taylor this week! 

Top 2 Favorite Books.

I can not even tell you how hard this is going to be for me. I love to read! So much so that I just purchased a Kindle last week and can not wait for it to arrive!! 

I hated reading when I was younger.  My cousin Michelle finally got me into it one summer by handing me this book: 

1) The Rescue written by Nicholas Sparks. 

This book is an easy read! I actually just re-read it over the weekend. I finished it in a day. Super quick read and it has a great story line.  I personally own each and everyone of Nicholas Sparks books and love him as an author.

2) The Twilight Series! I wanted NOTHING to do with anything Twilight at first. My sister was reading them, then my mom, and finally my mom and I were sick one day so we watched Twilight the movie.. I was hooked. LOVE this series and will likely be reading it again after all of the movies come out! 

What are your favorite books? Do any of you own the Kindle or another E Reader? Do you love it?!

A bit under the weather..

I looked like this all weekend...

I stayed in bed and wished I was up to going out and enjoying the first nice day since March.. But I didn't.

Still not feeling to awesome today but I did make it into work today.  I feel that is progress. 

Hope you all got out and enjoyed some nice weather this weekend. 

My Wish For You...

 My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold

And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish

I love the idea of a Wish Tree at our Reception.

I love the one pictured above. It's simple, elegant, and I feel adds so much life to a reception.

I love the idea of taking the wishes and turning it into a coffee table scrap book that we can look back at years later.

I love that the wishes will be from so many different walks of life.  Long time married couples, divorced men and woman, both with wisdom or what to do and what not to do and children who are so innocent and have not yet experienced a broken heart.

Did any of you have a wish tree? Or are you planning to have one?
