The Rehearsal Dinner

{the wedding and reception photos are below this post} 

Jason and Katie Bliss {Katie is David's sister} threw a great Rehearsal dinner for us! 
They BBQ'd meat and the side salads and such were delicious. 
It was so much fun having family and friends together in one place, and, here in Washington! 
We had friends we've known since before Emily was even born, 
friends we've known since I was a teenager and then bringing together friends who are 
now family, thanks to Emily and David :) 
I really enjoyed seeing everyone and getting to celebrate the upcoming wedding.

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

By -
This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it!

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.  ...
