March 26, 2007--A couple of things

I'm pretty excited today about a couple of things. First, my brother and his fiance moved their wedding up to July! I heard about it from her sister, and didn't believe her at first. I was sure she was pulling my leg. Dad had been saying they'd probably move it up to September (they had set the date for next February) and Chris had been determined to wait. I guess they wanted to go live at a mission in Nicarauga for awhile, and the missionaries told them they'd rather they be married for a full year first, since the first year of marriage is usually the toughest. So they decided to move it up. They'll be moving into my Dad's old store building. He's been trying to sell it for several years and it won't sell. Chris is going to turn it into a recording studio and art store. The other thing I'm excited about is that a dear friend of mine who lives up north somewhere wants me to make some quilts for her! She's ordering three twin-sized quilts, and is going to pay me $50 each for them! I'm so excited. It's a pretty simple design, and I'm doing one in pink, one in blue, and one in purple. She wants them just machine quilted, too, but I may hand quilt them anyway. I'll decide when I see how long it takes me to piece them. I'm going to go Thursday and pick out the material I'll need for them.
