Howdy, Y’all! I’ve got a hodgepodge of fixings for you today! First: Chasing Blue Skies now has a facebook page. If you’d liked to connect this way, you can click here to like Chasing Blue Skies. I’ll be getting a facebook link up in the navbar lickety split.
Also, I’ve been adding books and other reads to my refreshing resources page. If you have a suggestion for something I should read and add, then for Pete’s sake, tell me!
Finally, y’all know that Will and Kate are tying the royal knot this Friday! Is anyone looking forward to this besides me?
I. Can’t. Wait!
I clearly remember that early morning when I was 7 years old and my little sister was 5, when my Mama coaxed our sleepy selves out of bed with cinnamon rolls and jelly-filled pastries. We eventually perked up and watched wide-eyed as Lady Diana became a genuine princess. We wondered what it would be like to be a flower girl in such a shindig. I even remember hearing Diana repeating Charles’ mile long name out of order.
Now my daughter is 7, and you can bet your boots we’ll be watching this wedding together.
I. Can’t. Wait!
So tell me, will you be watching, too? Or is this just not your thang?
I can’t wait either! I’m really excited! 🙂
And I liked you on Facebook!
Thanks, Erika!
Oh. My. Goodness. Finally someone who also is so excited for the royal wedding! I am planning on waking up at 1 AM {I live on the West Coast!} to watch it. It’s going to be the biggest wedding of the century! I was not even alive when Princess Diana got married, so this is my first royal wedding!! 🙂
Glad I’m not the only one excited!
I too remember everything from Princess Diana’s wedding – I was a wee one, about 7 as well, staying up to watch it all. I can’t wait for this one! My daughter is a bit older and a little jaded about the whole princess thing, but I’m hoping she’ll watch with me!
By the way – a great book – Modern Parents, Vintage Values. Reading it now and really like it!
Thanks, Melissa! I’ll check it out!
I just had to tell you. I totally stayed up all night (I live in Oregon) and watched the wedding. It was gorgeous! And so worth it. And those hats?! Wow.
Always love visiting your blue skies Kristen!
Wasn’t it simply stunning? The dress, the hats…gorgeous! I heard someone say that her dress was Grace Kelly meets Maria from the Sound of Music. I thought *yes*, that’s it!
I’m a girl who needs my sleep. I just couldn’t get up to watch the wedding, but I have enjoyed the pictures.
I hear ya! I couldn’t get up as early as I wanted to on account of a trip my daughter and I were taking Friday afternoon. It’s good to live in a time where we can enjoy pictures and videos of what we missed whenever we want!
I watched it and loved every moment.
It was all so elegant and classy! Jolly good fun, huh?
