Kim and I are planning our third wedding rehearsal dinner for our third and youngest son, Ryan and his fiancee, Amy. No, it isn't Ryan's 3rd, it is ours. We have three sons of which Ryan is the youngest and the last to get married. I guess this is one of those milestones we pass in life. "Kids all married...check."
We felt like pros walking into restaurants requesting to talk to the managers. So confident we were with very few questions and knowing pretty much what we wanted. A room big enough to move around in and hold about 50 people comfortably, good food with 2 or 3 entree choices and a bit of decor (not a priority). However, we didn't want to come away penniless. If we learned nothing more from weddings 1. and 2. we learned what we really need and what isn't all that necessary.
The short trip to the wooded East Texas town of Lufkin was relaxing and calm. It was a nice drive with my husband and no time restraints to push us to or from our destination. We were able to leisurely talk about the wedding and what we want to do for our son and his future wife. We made some solid decisions and not the least bit anxiously. Next we will begin to follow up on those plans this week.
As we drove back to Baytown we stopped at a Texas icon..the DQ (that's Dairy Queen) for some ice cream. I got an Oreo blizzard and Kim got a banana split. Yep, it doesn't get much better than that.

Hey, ML!
Sounds like a great trip you two had. Can you believe you are on the third and final wedding? You two can become wedding planners for parents of the groom. :)
It seems like only yesterday we were excited about the birth of Jason. Now, here we are looking forward to Ryan's wedding as Jason awaits the birth of his second child. Whew! Where did the time go?!
Love your blogspot and you, too!
