The Girls

The Bridal Jewelry

Elissa came over night before last ... and I just recuperated! We started making bridesmaids jewelry at 9:30 pm and finished at 3:00 am. I was pooped! But it was so much fun! We made 13 bracelets and the earrings for the bridesmaids. Then I finished my jewelry. I am still debating to myself whether I want chunky or thin! Chunky? ... or Thin? Chunky? ... or Thin? Hmmm, that is a hard one isn't it? Of Course I want to be Thin! But I'm talking about a bracelet now! I'll post it later and gather some opinions!

We had pearls, crystals and silver all over the table! Not only was it fun to do this ... is was great for me to get to help Elissa make her jewelry... and it was great to spend some time with her alone without Jared around.

Jared is way too in love .... he sits around and makes "goo-goo" eyes at Elissa! Geesh, they're going to be married in two weeks. Wouldn't you think he's past that by now? Just wait til they get about 15 years on them and a few kids! There won't be any "goo-goo" eyes then! If Jared doesn't stop with the "goo-goo" eyes .... he might be crossed eyed forever!

Anyway, I loved doing this with Elissa. I'm so glad she is comfortable to come around without Jared. Girls have more fun anyway! Get lost Jared .... go make "goo-goo" eyes at the dog, and rub her belly while you're at it!

Be Blessed,

Tan

Jared's Graduation Day!

Today my son graduated from OCU! What a marvelous occasion it is to watch your child walk across a stage and receive a degree that will enable him to carve his own path. It took my breath away to watch him. My heart was beating in sync with every footstep that he took as he received his diploma. I felt a few tears escape when I heard his name "Jared Kent Eblin" being announced. I'm so proud to call him my son! Only a short twenty two years ago he was my baby! Now he's a man and he's a college graduate!
Jared and Elissa graduated together today and together they'll move forward in their lives. This beautiful young couple will be married in July and will be moving to Memphis. Another milestone behind them and a whole future ahead of them ... I love these kids!

Be Blessed,
Tan
