The Wedding Singer...

Well folks...I'm the wedding singer. Ryan, Ty, and I will be gone all weekend long to a cousins wedding at which I will be singing. Right now they have me practicing FOUR songs...we'll see if they get it narrowed down.

Ty and I are leaving our little white house at 6:10 AM tomorrow morning! AHHHH...6 hour drive...this can't be good. Ryan has to work part of the day so he's riding with his dad and brother while I'm riding with his uncles and the groom-to-be. =) That should be funny. I'm quite out numbered with three men and a baby boy. Pray for me!!! haha...nah, we'll have a good time I'm sure. Also, pray for me that I'll do a good job singing. It makes me NERVOUS to sing in people's weddings...you know, the MOST SPECIAL DAY OF THEIR LIVES!!! No pressure there! lol.

Amanda, you call me anytime girl!!! I love our chats! You're a great friend too!

Terry, GIRL...you better get some rest...we can't have you so tuckered out all the time. Ty misses all your good blogger comments about his winks. lol! I thought you'd like this picture of him. He's wearing my favorite hat for him. It's a soft light blue velvet and I think it's just DARLING!

Jodi, if you have your baby THIS weekend, I'll be just a couple hours away SOOOO...just keep that in mind. hahaha! Kidding...mostly! lol!

New Mom Tips: I know everyone gives you advice about napping when your children do...HAHAHA...what a funny joke. Sometimes that's the only time you HAVE to get things done! On the other hand, sometimes you're SO exhausted that I've MADE myself *mind you...some of you all will have to MAKE yourselves do it* lay down. I don't even remember my head hitting the pillow before I was out! They were the best naps I've ever had! You deserve it! And don't worry...that laundry and those dishes will be waiting right there where you left them when you wake up! lol

Welp..I better SCOOT to bed! Love and hugs to all! Jessica

Boy, are you ever right about the baby nap time thing! I sometimes have to ignore everything and just sleep or at the very least read or rest! (I love this time of day)

Amber said...

Good Luck on your singing! And oh how I know what you mean.. the most important day of their life and they want YOU to do it!! hehe.. I've played the piano at 3 weddings, and the most nervous I've even been I think.

Jess,
I know it will be every bit as beautiful as when you sang at my wedding. That is such a wonderful memory. Thank you so much for doing that for us... I can't believe you would be nervous about it - you do beautiful work!

Have a fun time! Love ya!
Amanda

Jessica said...

Thanks Rachel! The wedding did go well! And sometimes I have to ignore everything and just rest too!

Hey Amber! I sure hope you had fun on your trip!! I've had to play the piano in weddings too...NO FUN! Bless our hearts!!!

LOL Rachel! You're an awesome mom too! I would love to pattern myself after you! You should be the one putting up the mom tips not me!! You've done a wonderful job and are a great testimony to me! Thanks a bunch!

Hey Terry! That trio name sounded pretty good! lol...Ryan and Ty sat on the front pew over by the piano. He was really good through out the entire wedding and sat quietly on Ryan's lap and watched the ceremony. It was cute.

Hi Morgan...it WAS a trip. Ty was AWESOME on the way up...not so awesome on the way back. haha

Thanks Amanda...I was just as nervous at yours! lol...It would be horrible to mess up your alls big day like that. Good thing I didn't go flat on ya! haha

Love to all, Jessica
