Linen Love!
So today mom and I went to Distinctive Details, a normally way too out of my price range linen rental shop. BUT, being the oh-so-awesome bargain hunter that I am, I got a great deal that saved us nearly $1,000 in linens! Yep...that's 3 zeros behind that 1. And that's what we saved! Anyway, the lady was super nice and super helpful and she was able to find exactly what I didn't know I wanted! And apparently, these are the same linens Donald Trump used at some event in Houston...and that's "Uge!" The whole experience was painless and easy and both my mom and I were happy...not an easy task!

A Family Divided
...And no I'm talking about who bleeds maroon and who hooks 'em! At this year's Thanksgiving in Schulenburg, a great debate circulated through the booths at Paddy's restaurant. And what was this oh-so-interesting topic that seemed to have divided a normally united family? Let's take a look back...
Yep, there it is. The dress that Meme is insisting on wearing.
I, myself, have come to genuinely loathe this dress. It initially began as a slight resentment but, overtime, it has gotten so far under my skin that the mere idea of this dress makes my blood boil. I love my Meme dearly! And I know that she will not be around forever, unfortunately. So I was really hoping to get a very nice picture with her and Brian and I at our wedding. A picture that we can frame and keep forever. Instead, I will have a picture with Meme in this 40 year old dress that looks more like a costume than something she would normally wear. I blame my mother for bringing the damn dress to her house and having her try it on!
Anyway, let me step off my soapbox. So at Thanksgiving, the word got around that Meme is wearing this 40 year old dress and the bride to be is NOT happy about it! I think I have my fair share of supporters and maybe if enough people tell her not to wear it, she won't. But this is Meme, the matriarch of this large, loud, stubborn family. Most likely, she ain't budging!

As we all know, I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan! So of course, the Malin girls and I were at the midnight showing on November 18th.
The movie was awesome! One girl was even dressed as HP...we haven't taken it to that level yet!
