The World According to Leslie

I absolutely love weddings. Last year I helped plan my "baby" sister's wedding. It was amazing! She was so beautiful! Tomorrow, I get to see one of my best friends get married. I can honestly say that I have never been to a Sunday wedding before. I have attended outdoor weddings, hotel weddings, church weddings, but I have never been to a Sunday wedding....anywhere! I was REALLY surprised when I got the invite. I didn't know that she was dating anyone. So getting a wedding invitation really threw me for a loop! I screamed "Ohmigosh! Ginger is getting married!" I almost cried! I called my mom! I called my sister! Three days later I called the bride's mom to reply for my entire family! :) It was AWESOME! We talked for awhile about everything. Ginger is now living about 1/2 hour away from me.....instead of the two hours she was living before. Right now, she's staying with her soon-to-be mother-in-law. After tomorrow, she's going to m...

Wow! I can't believe I have waited so long to write again! Trying to finish up classes, get through finals, and complete the Girl Scout meetings for the year, I have been busy! Man! I just realized that I have a snot-load of stuff to do in the next two weeks....all my classes end by May 9th--isn't that FABULOUS??? So last week was interesting. I worked in my mom's place at the daycare for three days. Everything came to a head with Stacy on Thursday, but that's a story for another place and time!! It was interesting. I actually got a good bit of homework finished during play time and naptime those three days! (My mom was out of town for a church conference!!) Friday night, I went to a scrapbooking thing with a friend. I'm working on Chasity's second year now. I've finished her first year....that book is HUGE!!! Now I'm on to the 2nd year. I don't think this book is going to be as big! Of course, I haven't really gotten started yet either!! lol I o...

As you have probably noticed (if not I'll tell you), I had a Valentine's themed wedding. However, I did it subtly and did NOT do it in February. lol I got married in the middle of May 2001. If you are from NC, I got married the exact same night and time as the Winston (All-Star) race at the speedway! (You could hear the cars on the track outside the church....well...until they had to call it for rain! Anyways, I had purple dresses for the girls--two light and two dark. I had heart-shaped candlabras. They were awesome! My cake was 5 (separate) heart-shaped tiers of red velvet cake! It was beautiful! With all that Valentine's love floating around, I had to have lots of love songs...right? So... we had 7 songs in the ceremony. I'm a singing feign. I love music. I couldn't help myself! So, while the girls were walking in my sister's best friend sang "I Believe in You and Me" (from the Preacher's Wife" movie soundtrack). Before I wal...

I guess some of you have noticed that I have made some changes to my site. In case you are wondering why, let me tell you. 1. I have the "Pray for Kaleigh" button. She's a little girl in the Charlotte hospital because she was born so prematurely and with health problems. If you have not checked out their site, you can click here to go to their site. 2. I have the "One Minute Writer" button because that really is my 60 second addiction. I love to see what people can come up with in one minute to write about. If you have not checked out C. Beth's One Minute Writer, you should go here . 3. I have my playlist. Ok, so right now it's only 3 songs, but I'm sure I'll add to it eventually. There are specific reasons why I chose each song. If you listen, you can probably figure them out... lol. "Adonai"--This song tells of how Wonderful my Father (and yours if you know Him) really is! I have loved this song since the first time I hea...
