Wedding Room

Guest Room

Shaughn finally got moved out and I was quick to get his room redone.  I loved the look of Christine's wedding, burlap, mason jars and sunflowers so I went with that theme.  I had so much stuff along with things I had made for the wedding that I incorporated them into the new makeover.  The best part is that I only had to buy two things for the whole room, the curtains and one of the cubbie things.  I was super excited about the curtains, they look just like burlap!!! The desk I found at Goodwill about 6 months ago for $40!  I didn't know what I was ever going to do with it but loved it.  We ended up using it as a beverage center at the wedding.  I still have a few little touches I need to do, but overall I am very pleased.  I don't particularly like the futon but don't want a bed in here.

 New Bunnies!

Our beloved Tubbie passed away last month expectantly so I was on the hunt to replace him.  I found two sites for bunnies.  One was a rabbitary in Tampa and one a few miles away.  I contacted both and neither had bunnies!!!!  A week later I was contacted by both, they just had babies born. Of course we had to get both.  The are both 5 weeks old, born four days apart, and I picked both up the same day!  Both sellers kept me updated with pictures weekly. 

Lulu and Lilly

Lulu looks gray here but turned out brown.  She is so friendly.  She weighs 578 grams and Lilly the black and white one weighs 345grams.  They should grow up to weigh 3 to 4.5 lbs. The are Dwarf Holland Lops.

One week old

 They are so friendly.  The love to be held! 

 

They have bonded together nicely!

New College Graduation

 Christine graduated from New College last night.

On the way to Sarasota we hit this brush fire down by Disney.  After we got through they closed I-4 for two hours!  

We hit Christine and Taylor's favorite Chinese restaurant in Sarasota, Ms. Chengs, before graduation.  Yum Yum!

  She actually finished in January but the college only holds the ceremony once a year.  While a lot of kids take longer than four years to finish, it only took her 3.5 years.  What a smart one she is.  The New College graduation is an odd one.  They don't wear the traditional cap and gown, but whatever they want.  Some went barefoot, one girl brought her dog on stage, donned in a cap and gown, as she walked across the stage.  From what we were told, this year was pretty toned down.  They had naked painted bodies last year!

 Christine is looking to see that she actually has a seat.  At practice it was all messed up.. Is she a McCormick or a Jamrok?

 This was my second favorite, and most original!

 Christine's 1st year roommate, Gina, wearing her wedding gown.

 Who ever thought Christine would be the normal one? 

 My favorite!  He even had beer in his mug!  Only at New College!

I know, it looks more like Halloween than Graduation!

And....

Drum Roll Please..........

 

Super Big Gulp even made it to graduation!

Mr. and Mrs Jamrok

Christine and Taylor's Wedding

Well the big day finally came. The weather looked clear up until Thursday, when a cold front was forecast ed for Saturday.  We decided to get a 20 by 20 tent, then Friday night the forecast was changed to a 60 % chance of horrible thunderstorms and hail Saturday evening.  Susan and I wanted to change the wedding to earlier in the day but Christine didn't want to.  When the tent was pitched we were happy to see we could change the game plan and fit all of the tables under with no problem and leave the deck open for the vows.
Saturday morning the rain forecast was changed to 30 percent and some of the storms had fallen apart.  It ended up raining about 30 minutes before the vows and only for 10 minutes.  

Thank you God!  You answered our prayers.

This was the cake I made.  It was lemon cake with raspberry filling and cream cheese frosting!  It was so good.  A lot of people came back for 2nds and even thirds!  There was not a bite left!

 The tearful father of the bride has gotten over his tears and is now attempting a keg stand.  Isn't there an
age limit to this??
