Wedding Speech Delivered by the Groom
Wedding Speech Delivered by the Groom
I would like to start my speech today by thanking Richard for his kind words. I am really proud to have become Isia's husband; ever since the day we met I have been treated as one of the family and this has made our Journey to this day that much smoother! Thank you both for your blessing I promise that I will make you proud and live up to the high expectations I am sure you have! Thank you for everything you have both done in making this day so special if it wasn't for you I am sure I would still be saving. So far the day has been an amazing experience and I am sure it can only get better.
I would also like to thank you on behalf of Isia for all the love and help you have given her over the years. I thank you for making Isia the most loving, caring, sweet and kind person I have ever met.
I really am the luckiest man alive.
Thanks to Mom and Dad:
I would now like to thank my own mom and dad for all the love and support they have given me over the years. I am sure you are looking at me now and thinking what a brave boy? I am not really one for speeches especially in front of 80+ people.
You have always been there for me and helped me though good times and bad especially in my younger days.
If I have ever had a problem where did I go mom and dad of course. I couldn't ask for two more loving people. I am very proud to have you here with Isia and I on our special day. I know that your love and
support will continue for many years to come.
Thanks to Isia:
I now come to the most important person in my life, and that's Isia my beautiful bride. I am so proud to say that you are my wife you really do look amazing. I am sure that you will all agree that she has done me proud. I wrote this before today so I never knew until now just how amazing you would look. Knowing you like I do I am sure you will now be getting rather embarrassed and possibly a little pink. But I am sorry I must go on.
We first met at a new years eve party in 1999 we said hello and that was it. I never thought that one day that pretty lady would become my wife. The love story didn't begin until later that year when Isia decided she would stalk me. She seemed to be everywhere I went and text me constantly although it still hadn't clicked in my tiny brain just how much she wanted me. Well I am a bloke and we are a bit slow sometimes. I am glad to say she didn't give up on me and we got together in June of that same year. The months went by and the love got stronger.
We have been though allot in our short time together but have always come out on top no matter what.
As you may know the year 2000 was a leap year so at the end of February I decided it was time for action, I hinted on a number of occasions that our relationship should go that little bit further.
For some reason Isia didn't realise what I was saying until a quick chat with her mom led to a text message at 3 minutes past 5 on 29th of February. With the words "Will you marry me?" of course I said yes and I soon purchased the ring and did the right thing by proposing on one knee. The only problem was it was in my mom and dads bedroom and all I was wearing was a Blur t-shirt and jeans.
Anyway I did have lots of embarrassing stories to tell about our time together but I think I will save Isia any more embarrassment and continue to praise her instead.
Seriously though I thank you Isia for everything you have done for me and all the love you have given me. I cannot begin to show just how much you mean to me. I love you with all my heart and promise that I will be there for you until the day we part. You are everything I have ever dreamed of its hard to believe you are real.
Missing People:
Myself and Isia would like to send our love and best wishes to my Uncle Derek and Auntie Doreen who are unable to make it today due to Derek being unwell. I am sure you will all join us in wishing him a speedy recovery.
Thanks to others:
There have been so many people involved in the planning and preparation of our big day, and this is now the time to give thanks to them.
Thank you to Sharon and her staff for allowing us to hold our reception here and for helping us with the planning along the way. I am sure you will all agree it is a beautiful setting.
We would like to give a big thank you to Ros sharp and her mom Carol for the beautiful wedding cake. I am glad to see its still standing.
Thank you to everyone who has given us presents we can't wait to open them all. They are very much appreciated and will be used everyday by Isia while she slaves away in the kitchen. Well she has duties now doesn't she? We will be holding a car boot sale soon so if you are after a toaster I am sure we have a nice one going cheap?
Thanks to Gary and Andrew:
I would like to thank my brother Gary and nephew Andrew for agreeing to be our ushers today. You have both done a great Job and managed to keep the rabble in order without the need for violence.
Thanks to Dave:
I would now like to say thank you to Dave for being my best man. We have been mates for many years and you truly are the best man for the Job. You have helped me in many ways and given me good advise on how to treat Isia. I thank you for all the help and support you have given me especially over the last few weeks, and for putting up with my moaning. My stag night was great fun and I am sure all those who attended will agree. I hope you are about to prove you're the best man by given me lots of praise in your speech. If not you better leave now.
But seriously I mean it when I say how pleased I am that you have done me the honour of being my best man and best mate. Cheers Dave.
Thanks to Claire, Charlotte, and Eleanor:
Our next and final big thank you goes out to three beautiful young ladies Claire, Charlotte, and Eleanor. We would also like to wish Eleanor a Happy Birthday for tomorrow. Isia and I would like to say how lovely you all look and thank you for doing such a wonderful Job.
Gift Presenting:
Before I pass you over to Dave for the speech of the day, I would like to present a few gifts to various members of our wedding party
to say thank you for the help you have all given on this special day.
I will start by given a bouquet of flowers to our mom's who have been an invaluable part of our lives. We would also like to give one more bouquet to another special lady and that's Isia's Nan.
We also have gifts for our two ushers Gary and Andrew, and my best man Dave.
Finally I would once gain like to thank our bridesmaids and present them each with a gift.
Ladies and gentleman will you please raise your glasses in a toast to our three bridesmaids.
Hand over:
Now here is the part of the afternoon you have all been waiting for my best man Dave.
Thank you!

Humorous Wedding Speech Delivered by the Groom
Humorous Wedding Speech Delivered by the Groom
Well, as Henry VIII said to each one of his wives … 'I shall not keep you long'.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this day is an historic day, on this day in 1666, the Great Fire of London started - nothing to do with my wife's cooking. And on this day in the year 2000, you attended this wedding reception and heard the finest wedding speech of your entire lifetime, and my best man Michael will be making it.
I after all, did have a great speech worked out for you today, but as I am now married, my wife has told me what to say instead.
Thank you - All
So on behalf on my wife and I. We would like thank you all for coming here today and sharing our special day with us. Especially those who have travelled some distance to be here, including our chief bridesmaid Suzy and her boyfriend Chris who have come all the way from Canada via Glasgow.
We would also like to thank you all very much for your cards, kind thoughts and wonderful presents. I was afraid that putting a dinner service on the wedding list was not such a good idea. When I discussed it with Mel I suggesting we should get a dishwasher, but she told me not to worry, she's going to get one when she's married - Me!
We had considered getting married abroad, but we decided we would prefer to share our day with all of you. And I'm glad we did. Here's to all of you who are all very special people, picked by us both and may we all have a great day (toast).
Thank you - Brian
Brian, thank you for those kind words, (you hope that you won't let him down/are proud to be his son-in-law, live up to his expectations etc. Having lived with Mel for 3 years now, I think I am prepared well enough.)
I must say that both Hazel and yourself always make me feel very welcome when I come to visit.
In view of the fact that my new Mother-in-Law is so close, I don't want to say much, other than only Adam had no Mother-in-Law - that's how we know he lived in paradise.
Thank you - Parents
We would like to thank both sets of parents as we wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for them.
We would like to thank them all for your love and support over the years. For all the advice you have given us.
For putting up with us and pointing us in the right direction.
Thank you for all the help with today's preparations, the flowers, cravats, favours, finance the list is endless.
So as a thank you to both sets of parents we have a small gift for you.
Thank you - Mel
I must thank Brian and Hazel for bringing up such a lovely daughter.
But also due to the number of phone calls between Mel and her mother, BT would also like to thank you both.
I asked Mel's mother in the church, how did Mel look in her Wedding dress, she said looked wonderful, but that didn't prepare me enough for when I saw her walk down the isle. I was overwhelmed to the say the least by how beautiful Mel looks today.
So, to my wife, my bride and joy. - Thank you for everything you have done. You know everything about me and love me just the same. I have my faults, yet you still agreed to marry me. I am extremely lucky today to be the one to marry you - and I hope this is the start of many happy years together.
Together We have been planning this wedding for over a year now, although it seems like a lifetime. It has been slightly more difficult over the past few months as I have been working away from home, but thanks to everyone, everything has come together. So a big thank-you to all that have helped and to Mel who has managed so well when I haven't been around.
Of course, Mel wasn't too happy with me working away, mainly because of the timing but she eventually came around to the idea, she said that she didn't mind me being away from home, just as long as I don't enjoy it! I can safely say it was hell!
Thank you - Michael
I would personally like to thank Michael for agreeing to be my Best Man. Although the trouble with being the best man at a wedding is that you never get to prove it.
Michael was reluctant at first, saying that he was an old married man and that I should get someone younger. Well judging what he got up to during the stag night he organised, if that's old and married, then I'm glad I'm heading that way. (PRESENT)
Of course for those who don't know, Michael is my elder brother. Now I know we look nothing alike, I'm just glad I got the good looks in the family. And looking at Mel's brother Chris over there, I'm just glad she doesn't take after him.
Thank you - Ushers and Pageboy
Mel and I would also like to thank Richard and Chris for being ushers today. Thank you Chris for your wordr of advice when we told him we were getting married - You daft git.
We would also like to thank Robert for being a Page Boy today. (PRESENTS)
Thank you - Bridesmaids
A final and big thank you goes to our bridesmaids. We would like to say how lovely the bridesmaids look and thank them all for doing such a wonderful job today. Especially Susy, who as I have already said has travelled all the way from Canada, we would like to thank her for her help and support over the phone and this last week. We have a small gift as a token of our thanks and as a memento of this lovely day.
Ladies and Gentlemen, please be upstanding. I would like to propose a toast … to the bridesmaids.
Now I'm not going to stand here and give you a load of stale old jokes, I'm going to leave that to the best man.
But, I must say - isn't it funny how history repeats itself? 27 years ago Mel's mom and dad were putting her to bed with a doll - and now it's happening all over again!
And talking of history, this day marks yet another significant anniversary. On this day back in 1901, U.S. president William McKinley was making a speech when some fellow shot him dead, now I'm not much of a one for believing in signs and omens, but there no point in tempting fate, so I think I'll sit down.
Humorous Wedding Speech for a Groom in Sales
Humorous Wedding Speech for a Groom in Sales
Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - Today, I'd like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to a man who personifies intelligence, ambition, tact, generosity, and integrity. But it is John's wedding so it's only fair that I talk about him as well.
Now, I only met John a few years ago at university, meaning that I've had to rely on him perhaps more than I would have liked to get the details of his past. But apparently, the young John Cervoni was an exceptionally gifted child. After publishing his first novel at 15, John tells me that his English teacher was left in tears when he opted for the Sciences at A Level. He then reluctantly turned down offers from Harvard and Stanford, in order to study at that other great beacon of learning – State University. But between leaving school and going to State, where I met John, I can only assume that something far too terrible to enquire about must have happened to transform him into the mediocre bum that I know.
While at State U. John spent so much time skipping lectures they almost changed his degree to home economics. And when he left, his head of department gave him this reference: 'Any company who gets
Mr. Cervoni to work for them will be very lucky indeed'. So not surprisingly, John has done absolutely nothing to help with the planning of this wedding. At one stage, Melissa got so desperate for help she had me search him for a socket. She wondered if maybe she had to plug him in.
Believe it or not, I wasn't John's only friend at university.
John developed a close relationship with an African exchange student, named Chimaka. Their relationship was close in the sense that John admired Chimaka's essay writing abilities and John was kindly always on hand to help Chimaka tidy up his written English.
Now Chimaka, who's father was a tribal elder in Chimakaya and who's village had donated money to send Chimaka to England, was rather shocked to find himself called into the Dean of Faculties office one morning to explain similarities in his essay to those of John. Two hours later, finding Chimaka on his doorstep threatening suicide, or murder, John's future skills as a salesman came into play. Quoting statistical probability, quantum mechanics and astrology with a straight face, John managed to save both university careers. Now, I recently managed to track down Chimaka to invite him on the stag night (bachelor party). But unfortunately he had to cover the drive through shift at the Burger King.
I mentioned John's future lay in sales and for the last three years he's been calling himself an independent salesman. I spoke to someone at his work and they confirmed this - he takes orders from no one. But he works almost everyday - almost on Monday, almost on Tuesday, almost on Wednesday.
Now, what attracted Melissa to John? We know it can't have been his exploits in the field of salesmanship. So could it have been his reputation as a rock guitarist? Well, I've seen John perform on several occasions at university so I speak with enough authority to rule that one out. More likely, it was his kind, thoughtful nature
and his ability to make her feel special … that and his penthouse.
But it's obvious what attracted John to Melissa. She is such a beautiful, witty, charming and thoughtful person. And when she agreed to marry John, it totally proved to me that old adage – opposites really do attract.
All kidding aside - congratulations, both of you. You make a great couple, and I want to wish you all the best. So good luck, and may your marriage be long, happy and blessed with everything good in life.
Ladies and gentlemen, to the bride and groom.

Wedding Speech 4
Wedding Speech 4
Good afternoon Ladies Gentlemen girls and boys
We have arrived at that point in the day where we must rise from the comfort of our chairs and make fools out of ourselves, well some of us anyway!
I however will try and postpone mine for as long as possible and hand you over to Graham Helens father to say a few words.
Thank you Graham.
I would now like to hand you over to Andrew to make his excuses/say
a few words.
Well Andrew, I hope you made the most of your speech, Now you're a
married man, that'll be the last time you get to speak for 3 minutes
without being interrupted!
Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls I hope you are having a
wonderful time,
For what seems to be the tenth time today I find my self rising from
a warm seat with a piece of paper in my hand.
I would like to read some messages from those who could not make it
to this auspicious occasion.
Now I will read a few cards which Andrew and Helen have requested
that I read
To Helen I'm Sorry I could not marry u myself so I got one of my
mate s to do it, but best wishes on your special Day
From the Pope ...
Congratulations on your special day Andrew we will miss u All the
girls from the fantasy lounge XX
Other cards
I have never been a best man before, and I am not renowned for my
speech writing, But I'll try my best, ''''cause Andrew said if I do
a good job today, I can be Best Man at his next wedding, too.
It's a great honour ladies and gentlemen but in all honestly I'm
actually a little bit nervous doing this, but I feel a bit comforted
by the fact I've actually already rehearsed this speech in front of
a live audience. – Yep it was Andrews geriatric home – and I think
it went well – they all peeed themselves
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Peter and for those
of you that do ... well I apologise. My full name is actually 'Peter
would-you-like-a-drink' For those of you who I meet in the bar
later, I'd appreciate it if you could use my full name. [pause]
I am I one of Andrews brothers and isn't it good to see that I am
finally receiving the recognition I deserve by being named as Best
It is well known that I can talk and I couldn't help but notice that
there is a bet on about the length of my speech.
Well, just to let you know, having backed myself at 2 hours 26
minutes and with the kitty currently standing at around 㿙, I must
apologise in advance, so please make yourself comfortable and enjoy
the ride.
I would like to thank the bridesmaids Vicky, Grace, Katie and
Charlotte whom I'm sure you will agree all look radiant. And how
nice it is to see Katie out of her emo/hippy out fit.
I would also like to thank Steve and Will for carrying out the
really difficult task of telling people where to sit in church, Nana
June for laying on the horse and carriage, lee for doing the
invitation inserts and Uncle Alan for doing the video.
I would also like to thank Auntie Anne, Auntie Pat and Debbie for
the glorious flowers in the church and everyone else who has helped
with the hall.
Now it gives me great Pleasure to ask you all to raise your glasses
for some very important people, with out them the today would not be
the same,
Would you raise your glasses to toast..
The bar staff!!
Before I begin Helen would u place your right hand on the table,
Andrew would u place your left on top of Helens. All will be
revealed in good time.
I can confirm to you all that last night Andrew slept like a
baby………that is he wet the bed twice………..and woke up several times
crying for his MUMMY!
The only problem we've seen so far is that Andrew and Helen had a
bit of an issue with the seating plan, because they really couldn't
decide where everyone should sit. So Andrew, in his true fashion,
decided to link it to the wedding present list He decided to put
those who brought the biggest items nearest the front, and work back
from there…
So ***** "pause" and look around at the back for ******* Andrew and
Helen wanted to say thanks for the oven glove!
Now Andrew and Helen have been together for a few years now and seem
to have found their soul mates in each other.
In life, its difficult to imagine Morecambe without Wise, Andrew
without his red MG, tom without jerry, Romeo without Juliet, Del
without Rodney, and of course Andrew without Helen.
Now as I mentioned, it is a great honour to be Best Man, but with
the role comes the job of writing this speech, and to be honest I
wanted to make the process as easy as possible.
So where do you begin for ideas?
The obvious place seemed to be the Internet, so with a multitude of
resources at my fingertips I dutifully began searching the web.
After a couple of hours searching I found some REALLY good stuff on
the net, but ....then I remembered I was supposed to be looking for
Best Man tips!!!
I did actually find LOADS of ready-prepared speeches on the
internet.... but sadly, NONE of them were about a couple called
Andrew and Helen ....so it looks like it's down to me after all.
As part of my research I discovered that according to tradition I am
supposed to SING THE GROOM'S PRAISES and tell you all about his MANY
good points. Well, I'm very sorry but I CAN'T SING, and I WON'T LIE
Helen is a lovely person. She deserves a good husband. Thank God you
married her before she found one!
I do have to say how lucky you are Andrew. You will leave here
having gained a wife that is warm, loving and caring. A wife who is
funny, and who radiates beauty where ever she goes. [pause]
face Helen
And Helen[pause]
how lucky you are as well [pause]
you leave today having gained a .[pause]
Gorgeous dress and a lovely bouquet of flowers. [pause]
Andrew has had a chequered life and it started some 38 years ago
when quite small he entered our family and joined Steve and me.
This was a real disappointment to us as this meant that we had to
share our toys with one more person.
However it was not long until Andrew was exposing himself to the
whole country literally sitting on a potty in the middle of the
countryside as the world went on by.
Later he went on to school and by the age of sixteen he finally left
primary school.
He then started his working life Messams, then Curry's, Clinches
hotel, the Coach and Horses pub, then the Blue Anchor in jersey here
at the Fishbourne club where he met Helen, then the Blue Bell at
cocking now at Cornelius house where he is hoping to get a discount
as he is getting close to requiring a room.
Now we have had a lot of trouble contacting people from his previous
places of work, and for some reason interpols fraud section has been
showing signs of interest, as most of these buisnesses are no longer
the coach and horses gone bust
The blue anchor gone bust
And the bluebell gone bust
But Helen has done a good job at covering the evidence up.
as for Helen well her life has just begun.
But Helen is keeping Andrew on the straight and narrow.
Instead of stories you will have to listen to my martial advice
I'm not sure I'm the best person to dish out advice! But I do have
the following words of wisdom for the happy couple.
Firstly, set the ground rules and establish who is the boss:
Then do everything Helen says.
Always remember to tell your wife those three important little words
[pause] 'You're right dear'.
Helen A husband is like a tiled floor [pause] lay it right first
time and you can spend years walking all over it.
A happy marriage is a matter of give and take the husband gives and
the wife takes. [pause]
Remember the 5 rings
the engagement ring, the wedding ring, the suffering,
the torturing and the enduring
Don't forget Andrew if u buy her flowers, she knows your guilty, and
she will remember to the second the last time you bought her some …
and the reason why!
Now in case any of you are wondering why I asked Andrew to place his
hand on Helens. I will tell you now, Andrew as my final role, it is
with great pleasure that I have been able to give you the last 10
minutes in which you have had the upper hand on Helen. It will
almost certainly be the last.
May your love be modern enough to service the times and old
fashioned enough to last 4 ever.
AS Andrew and Helen START THEIR NEW LIFE,
If you would all be up standing in my toast
To the new Mr and Mrs Burt
Andrew and Helen

Wedding Speech Delivered by the Bride
Wedding Speech Delivered by the Bride
We did it!! I can't believe we're here already!! At first it felt like it couldn't take any longer and the last few weeks just flew!
It's overwhelming, I'm in awe!
Wow, I'm Mrs. Hollingsworth! I can't believe it! Yeah, I can here my co-workers snickering in the back there, I can only imagine the stories I'll be returning to!
First I'd like to clear up any confusion Jim, is Jamie to me. Now that's out of the way, Jamie and I have traveled a long road together already and I'm looking forward to our continued journey as
husband and wife.
Jamie and I would like to thank our family and friends for coming tonight and being supportive to us at different stages of our lives.
We'd also like to thank those who couldn't be with us in body and spirit like my papa who isn't forgotten and is loved and missed very much! We'd also like to thank the people who we don't know very well for coming and we'd like to take the opportunity tonight to get to know you better. Most of all we'd like to thank our parents for teaching us the 10 important rules to a healthy marriage:
Never both be angry at the same time.
Never Yell at each other unless the house on fire.
If one of us HAS to win an argument, let it be your mate.
If you have to criticize, do it lovingly.
Never bring up mistakes of the past.
Neglect the whole world rather than each other.
Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled.
At least once everyday try to say one nice thing to your mate.
When you have done something wrong, be ready to admit it and ask for forgiveness.
It takes 2 to quarrel and the one in the wrong is the one who does the talking.
I hope we can remember these rules and live by them. Not only do we want to thank our parents for these rules they are only part of what they've taught us. We also want to thank-you for building courage when we are scared, for strengthening our hearts when we are weak and when we have self esteem we can conquer anything!
We would like to thank the Olympia for creating this wonderful meal and
Their lovely staff for their service and kindness and for making this a night to remember.
We would like to thank our beautiful wedding party for their hard work and loyalty & I know they deserve it. Even when things got hectic and I was losing my mind they really pulled through and lifted me up and that is what true friends are made of so let's lift our glasses and toast to our wonderful entourage. Cheers!

Wedding Speech3
Wedding Speech-3
I would like to ask Beccy's father David to say a few words I would now like to call on Justin who would like to thank a fewpeople
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I hope everyone is enjoying this very special day so far. It's been an emotional day, ……..even the cake is in tiers.
I would like to start by thanking Justin for his kind words on behalf of our lovely bridesmaid Kirsty. I'm sure you will agree she has carried out her role superbly, I would also like to thank the ushers…… for at least turning up sober.
I think you will all agree Beccy looks one in a million today ...as opposed to Justin who looks like he was won in a raffle.
For those of you who don't know me, I am Justin's cousin, Neil. And I have the honour of being his best man. And it is a great honour, but in all honesty I am actually a little nervous doing this, but I feel a bit comforted by the fact I have actually rehearsed this speech in front of a live audience at the local old peoples home, …
I think it went well,they all pissed themselves anyway.
.I'd also like to congratulate Justin on a truly magnificent speech, I always knew it would be hard to follow, and I was right, I could hardly follow a word of it.
During the service today I couldn't help thinking its funny how history repeats itself, I mean it was 30 years ago David and Carol were sending their daughter to bed with a dummy………and it's happening all over again today.
I have known Justin all my life, he has always loved sport especially football, from an early age it was obvious he was a natural defender, he loved to get stuck in.
It's a shame he hasn't carried that over to his working life, Richie has started calling him god at work because he never see's him, ….and if he ever does any work it's a miracle.
Now Just has always taken great pride in his appearance, some people have even said he is vain, I never believed this……much, until the morning we got to the airport to fly off for his stag weekend, he seemed to have a glow about him, all the boys were asking him if he had been using tanning lotion, Justin denied it profusely, after another pint and a lot of abuse he tried to fob us off with the excuse that he was in such a rush when he got up, that in his haste he had mistakenly put Beccy's moisturiser on which had tanning in it, sufficed to say he was set upon then until he finally admitted that he bought the stuff himself.
I just don't know how he thought he would get away with it, it was snowing the week before.
I thought I had better find out some interesting events that happened on the day he was hatched, sorry born.
He was born on the 11th of September 1977 which was a sunday, number one in the charts was Elvis with 'way down', now the only other event I found of any importance in this month was the introduction of free family planning.
Now I wouldn't say Just was an ugly baby, but pat only had morning sickness after he was born.
He was a slightly slow starter as well, at playschool he was different from the other 5 year olds, he was 11.
I remember one day sitting in pizza hut, when the waiter asked if he would like his pizza cut into 4 or 8 pieces, Justin's reply was . .
. . You better make it 4 because I'll never manage 8.
We have always been close, when we were young we would always be playing something driving our respective parents mad, I remember when Ghostbusters the film was at the cinema, we would be upstairs at Rich and Pat's with all the lights out jumping around like a couple of lunatics pretending to be catching ghosts, our equipment for this was a school backpack and a wire coat hanger each. Well I have a present,……….something you can play with later.……………..
Now comes the part of the wedding speech where the embarrassing photo's come out,
I'm sure you will have noticed there are some numbered envelopes on your tables, if you would all like to open envelope number 1,
This is a rare photo, Justin has always said he can never seem to get drunk, at one point he was going to the doctor he was so concerned. but all it took was a few drinks with Tude and Spence and you can see the end result for yourselves.
Now if you all open number 2.……..Justin has been accused in the past of talking too much, well in this photo he talked that much even his ass went to sleep
One of my last duties before I toast the happy couple is to read a few cards……
To Justin and Becky , hope you have a wonderful day, sorry we can't be there lots of love Charles Farkin, Mary Farkin ….and the whole Farkin family
I would like to say best of luck to the two of you , I really am absolutely delighted for both of you. I hope you have a long and happy future together.
And thank you Justin, it really has been a great honour to be your best man, you are more like a brother to me and Nev than a cousin.
It now gives me immense pleasure, not to mention relief to invite you all to stand and raise your glasses to the new Mr & Mrs Harris.. To Justin and Beccy Thank you and enjoy the rest of the day.

Wedding Speech2
Before I undertake the customary duty of giving Martin an uncomfortable few minutes it is part of the official duty of the best man to thank Martin on behalf of the bridesmaids, Sezan, Canan
and Clare for his kind words and for having them play a part of this really special day. I have to say they all look wonderful and have done an excellent job. Indeed they are only eclipsed by Arzu herself, who, I''m sure you''ll all agree, looks absolutely stunning.
It is a great privilege to be asked by Martin to be his best man. He has quite generously returned the favour that I asked of him 6 years ago, during which Martin took the opportunity to make lots of cheap jokes at my expense, so I now have the right to reply.
I suppose the first thing the best man should explain is how he knows the groom. Well, being his identical twin we first met long before we can both remember, so we are very close. There''s nothing I wouldn''t do for Martin, likewise there''s nothing Martin wouldn''t do for me, in fact we spent most of our time doing nothing for each other.
I will start at the point of our early life as toddlers.
Growing up together in those early days, I am proud to say that I was an angelic child, no trouble to anyone, but the same could not be said of Martin. He showed no respect to his elder twin brother. I became an innocent victim of his loutish behaviour. "Lloyd, flush you socks down the toilet" he used to say. And under duress I did.
But that lout grew up into the well-mannered and well-presented individual we see sitting here today. Martin has matured. For instance I can tell you that Martin is very well read - he has
after all read all 45 of the Mr Men books from cover to cover. In fact, at the age of five, whilst living in Australia, Martin had a great idea to wander off into the dense, wild outback behind our
house to look for Mr Jelly, whom he had read lived in the middle of a forest. He convinced me to go with him and we got terribly lost.
By the time we had found our way home, there were lots of tears. Not for the fact that he had been lost in a forest, but that Martin never found Mr Jelly''s house.
On the subject of Australia, it was there that Martin began a love affair which still lasts to this day.McDonalds. Age six, we were ever so excited to make our first visit to McDonalds..and the great thing about this place was the kids playground - it was like a mini-theme park - things to climb, things to slide down, things to spin around in.all for the enjoyment of children who had just
scoffed their face with burgers and fries. It was whilst Mum, Dad, Verity and I were sat inside the restaurant that Martin, having just stepped of the swings, appeared the other side of the
window.knocking loudly so that everyone in the restaurant noticed him. My parents played along and waved back...until Martin, in full sight of everyone tucking into their lunch, brought up his fast food as quickly as it had originally gone down, all over the window pane.
Suddenly my parents stopped waving and momentarily tried to pretend he wasn''t theirs, although sadly as Martin''s twin was sat with them at their table, they couldn''t fool anyone. The waitress gave them some reassurance."Don''t worry guys, that happens here all the time."
His love of fast food however never stands in the way of his enjoyment of sport. Martin usually waits until half time to get off the sofa to ring for a pizza.
Some of you may be aware of his passion for cricket. What many of you don''t know is that his interest in the sport was borne during his time at school. Martin is a modest man - well, that''s what he has insisted I tell you - so his cricket achievements are little known. But I can reveal today that at school, Martin SCORED more runs than any other person in the entire cricket team - that was because he was always 12th man putting up the numbers the scoreboard at the pavilion.
After school, Martin went on to study environmental science at Kings College London. I am told by his friends many of whom are here today that Martin had a natural flair for the subject. They tell me that no matter how remote a place Martin was sent away on field trips, he could gauge and interpret the direction of the wind, the contamination of the soil and the pollution of the air to produce an accurate assessment of where the nearest local pub was to skive off to have a pint of lager and a packet of crisps.
But Martin had to fund his extra curricular activities. Being a student with far too much time on his hands and always in need of an extra few quid, Martin decided to exploit a promotional campaign at Selfridges, the famous department store on London''s Oxford Street. The deal was that customers were entitled to a 㾶 voucher if they purchased an item from all seven floors. Martin managed to get round the store and buy small items which came to the grand total of 37
pence. It was an all time record amongst his fellow students.
Selfridges had no choice but to pay out the voucher, which Martin then redeemed for cash. What''s more impressive or should I say sad is that he did this seven times in one day to walk away with a hard earned . Unsurprisingly, Selfridges ended their promotional campaign rather abruptly.
Although Martin studied environmental science, I began to doubt his true commitment to the green cause when he purchased his first car after leaving university a Volkswagen Beetle. Now, I''m not sure what year the Beetle was made, though I believe the front of the car was made in the early nineties and the rear of the car some years before. Martin spent hours in that car, usually trying to get it to start. It was the only vehicle that you wouldn''t use a traditional road atlas or street map to navigate your journey. Martin''s Beetle was so economically inefficient and powerless that he had to plot his routes using an ordinance survey map to make sure that his
entire route was downhill. With careful planning, Martin could achieve this and the only flaw was making the return journey home by the same route.
Being Martin''s older twin, by a whole five minutes, I realise Martin that you have now reached the age that I was when I started this speech and with that you will gained the maturity and wisdom that I had back then. So this is probably a good time to for me to show some respect.
Joking aside, I want to say what a privilege it is today to be your best man. I couldn''t wish for a better brother and how much you mean is really impossible to put into words. The whole family is proud of you Martin, and we are all thrilled to see you marrying your beautiful bride Arzu today So it now gives me immense pleasure to invite you all to stand once more and raise your glasses in a toast for Martin and Arzu. We wish them well for the future. To love, life, laughter and happily ever after.. Martin and Arzu.

This "hotdish oatmeal for breakfast"recipe comes from Ann Burckhardt (aka "The Hotdish Queen"), a born-and-bred Minnesotan who is the author of Hot Dish Heaven: Classic Casseroles from Midwest Kitchens. She was featured in the October 2008 issue of Midwest Living Magazine.
This bowl of oatmeal looks plain jane, but it is anything but. A little twist packs a whole lot of flavor goodness. It is reminiscent of rice pudding. An optional Maple Crunch Topping seals the deal.
Baked Oatmeal
1 ¼ cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant)
1 ¼ cups water
1 ½ cups milk + 2/3 cup (divided)
2 eggs, lightly beaten (I use 3 eggs to produce more custard…
½ cup ¼ cup brown sugar… just perfect
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt (I omit.)
Put oats in a medium saucepan, then add water. Cover with
pan's lid and let sit overnight on kitchen counter to soften oats. Optionally,
you can soak for an hour in the a.m. if you forget to put them to soak the
night before. Do not drain off the water. Add 1 ½ cups milk to soaked oatmeal
mixture. Heat to a simmer, then cook about 10 minutes or until most of the milk
is absorbed (but still creamy not dry) and the oats are quite tender, stirring
occasionally. Butter a 1 ½-quart casserole dish or 8x8 glass cake pan. In a
small bowl, whisk 2/3 cup milk and eggs. In another small bowl, combine the
remaining ingredients; stir into oatmeal. Slowly add egg mixture into oatmeal
stirring to combine. (Adding the egg mixture to hot oatmeal too quickly will
cause the eggs to curdle. Oh, yes, this I know.) Pour oatmeal mixture into
baking dish. Bake uncovered in 350° oven for 30 to 40 50 minutes until knife
inserted in center comes out clean. (Increased baking time is required because
I added more milk and eggs than the original recipe.) Serve in pretty cereal
bowls… I like the deep kind, and top with a variety of fresh fruit, dried
cranberries or raisins, then sprinkle with maple crunch topping. (See recipe
below.) Serve with milk. Makes 4 servings.
Maple Crunch Topping
¼ cup whole raw almonds, roughly chopped
1/3 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
2 tbsp sunflower seeds
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp maple syrup (the real deal-not Aunt Jemima)
Heat oven to 375°. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and spread in a single layer on the
prepared pan. Bake 6 - 7 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.

It has now been a 2 months since I had the dam scraped out to get rid of all the weed etc. As it filled I sprinkled in your product and for the first time in 17 years it is holding water.
Pat Cygnet, TAS
It's been almost 2 months since I treated our pond with your product. We have had about 6 inches of rain since and the pond looks great. The wetness below the dam is gone and the water level is holding. Bottom line is I am very impressed with your product.
Bill Hille Kansas, USA
The 10 kg tub I purchased for my small dam worked a treat. Within 6 days of applying the polymer my dam shows no signs of leaking, where prior to using your product the land downhill was soggy and unusable and the dam was losing some 100-150 mm per day. Wonderful product so glad I found you online.

"Budget juggled to fund more city aid," The City, Thursday
Budget shift hurts The City
Your story showed the screwed up priorities of Supervisor Avalos, who proposes cutting funding for road repair and delaying police academy classes to fund an even larger social-welfare state in The City. San Francisco already spend a huge amount of money on social-welfare programs which serves as a magnet for people from all over to come to San Francisco and live on the dole.
So the next time your car or bike gets a flat tire from a pothole that's not fixed or the police are late due to short staffing be sure to send a thank you note to Avalos who thinks his priorities are more important than yours.

Aereo loses copyright fight
High Court made good call
The Supreme Court decision ruling against Aereo in favor of copyright holders reaffirms Article 1, Section 1, Clause 8 of the Constitution, the so-called progress clause: "To promote the Progress of Science and Useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries."

And because you haven't seen for a very, veeeeery long time no bird photos here *LoL*... sorry, but I like those long-tailed tit so much and they are very seldom in our garden and last week the finally appeared again. So you have to go through it :o).
Sweet aren't they?
This one here is not really a guest I like to see. It is said, that when the Eurasian Bullfinch appears close to houses it will snow soon. And so it was. I saw this little guy together with another male and female one in my viburnum opulus last Tuesday evening (the light was no good anymore, that's why the photo is of bad quality *sorry*) and have a wild guess: yes, it snowed since Wednesday.
Linth-Lady Krieg, also werde ich sie wohl demnächst einfangen müssen und bei der Linth-Lady aussetzen, das ist doch mal ein Kompromiss, nüscht :o).
Well, maybe I should serve them my tomcat for breakfast, then it wouldn't snow anymore... but then again I would probably loose the Linth-Lady as a friend of mine :o). But I've got a good compromise: I will catch them and set them free infront of Linth-Ladys home.:o)
I'm like a bird and can't keep my beak therefore this post ended in some more words than intended.
Zum Schluss möchte ich ein paar Verträumten unter Euch noch dieses Musikstück ans Herz legen... ich habe es schon "hindertsi u füretsi" gehört. Schliesst die Augen und lehnt Euch zurück:
But at the end, I've got some music for the dreamers among you. I've heard this piece up and down and still love it. Close your eyes and lean back: .
Hach, da kann man so herrlich ganze Geschichten zusammenträumen und den blöden, doofen, grusigen, dummdödeligen Winter (ja, Noah, ich stimme Dir völlig zu) vergessen.
Viel Spass und habt ein gemütliches Wochenende, irgendwo vor einem warmen Kaminfeuer.
I can listen to it and dream up whole stories and completely forget about this stupid, silly, cold and ugly winter (yes, Noah, I completely agree with you)
Have fun and a cozy weekend somewhere in front of a cracking fire.

In 1894, the US Supreme Court gave legal consent to state laws segregating black people and white people with its decision concerning the Plessey v Ferguson case. The decision stated that black and white should be separate but equal, meaning the same standard of facilities for both. In reality it legally enforced a state of affairs that assured that blacks would never be equal, and couldn't get equal treatment, status or opportunity in their own country.
During the Second World War, the black American Gi's realised that they were fighting for a democracy abroad, which they did not have at home. One black soldier vocalised the senselessness of their situation: "just carve on my tombstone, Here lies a Black man killed fighting a yellow man for the protection of a white man". Some took up draft resistance in protest. The refusal to comply with segregation laws within the military was punished with custody.
Returning to segregation at the end of the war caused the politicisation of many black Americans. The ensuing civil disobedience campaign, the non-violent resistance to the law, was one of the catalysts of the civil rights movement. It was this campaign that was the first to receive world - wide attention.
One of the first challenges to the Plessey v Ferguson laws was in 1954, when the NAACP contested the right of local school boards to run segregated schools in the brown v board of education case. The Supreme Court's unanimous verdict was that segregation in education would be illegal. However, by the end of 1956, there were still six southern states that refused to let black children attend schools with white children. One of these was Arkansas, who not only had not integrated their schools, but were resolutely preventing it. The governor of Arkansas used the...

BSOD-0x0000007F (and more)-usually during gaming
Alright. So I built a computer about 2 weeks ago. Since then I've gotten random restarts/freezes/BSOD.
At first I wasn't getting any minidumps. Figured that out (had to change some settings so it'd write them)
Then I figured out my MOBO had my RAM at 11-11-11-28 when it was supposed to be 9-9-9-24. Since then, no random restarts but now freezes (with sound looping) or BSOD (never writting a mini dump except this one time)
So. Symptoms: It usually happens during gaming. Either Minecraft or Realm of a Mad God. It will either BSOD out on me or Just freeze with (if sound is playing) sound looping. It's completely random. Sometimes it won't do it for hours. The last time (the time it actually gave me a minidump log) I had the computer on maybe 10 minutes and it BSOD while playing Realm of a Mad God.
System Specs:
OS: Win7 Home-64Bit
Processor: AMD Phenom II x4 955
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

So I'm not sure what's going on. Here is a link to the dmp file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/55618872/040212-16614-01.dmp
here is a link of the .zip file:
This was the BSOD report I got: 0x0000007F (0x0000000000000008, 0x0000000050031, 0x00000000000006f8, 0xfffff80000CD1D00)
I'm thinking maybe an audio issue? as I believe the 50031 or 6f8 was supposedly an audio thing (according to a website)
Also "WhoCrashed?" Gave me this:

Also: I've ran MemTest86 (2 passes) and have done a checkdisk. Neither came up with any errors
As far as I know, I'm not overclocking unless the MOBO read that wrong as well (like it did the RAM).
Anyhow. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you ahead of time :)

From your description (only) I suspect one of 2 things:
- overheating
- bad connections
To check for overheating, point a house fan into the case on high and see if that makes it longer until the system BSOD's
Bad connections plagued me for years when building systems. Unplug everything and carefully replug it in - making sure that you double check each connection.
Also, please check the Usual Causes section at this link for your BSOD: BSOD Index
Here's what I got from the reports:
AMD OverDrive (AODDriver2.sys) is either a stand-alone application, or a component of the AMD VISION Engine Control Center. This driver is known to cause BSOD's on some Win7 systems.
Please uninstall all AMD/ATI video stuff from Control Panel...Programs...Uninstall a program
Then, download and install a fresh copy of the ATI drivers from Global Provider of Innovative Graphics, Processors and Media Solutions | AMD (in the upper right corner of the page)
- Select the "Custom" installation option and don't let it install AMD OverDrive or the VISION Engine Control Center (if present)
Then use the ATI uninstall manager to uninstall the Catalyst Control Center (CCC). This is a separate issue and isn't required for the AMD OverDrive removal.
If the device (AODDriver or AODDriver4.01) remains a problem in perfmon /report, open Device Manager, select the "View" item.
Then select "Show hidden devices" and scroll down to the Non-Plug and Play Drivers section.
Locate the AODDriver entry, right click on it and select "Uninstall". Reboot for changes to take affect.
If overclocking, please stop. Remove the overclock and return the system to stock/standard values while we're troubleshooting. Once the system is stable again, feel free to resume the overclocking.
I wonder about ESET Smart Security as I've seen it in plenty of systems that have BSOD's. It also can be involved in memory access errors because of it's firewall component. Others that I know swear by it. You can uninstall it to see if that has any effect (but be sure to use another, free antivirus so you don't get infected while testing).
Beyond that I tend to suspect a hardware problem. Please try the free hardware diagnostics here (start with the memory test): Hardware Diags

Thanks for the reply John.
I removed the AMD Overdrive. I'm using a Nvidia graphics card so no need to re-install or anything. I did go into device manager and didn't see any AOD driver. So I assume it has been removed.
I unplugged all connections inside the case and plugged them back them, making sure they were snug and fully in.
I've ran MemTest86+ the other day and I couldn't get any errors. Maybe I'll give it another go tonight while sleeping.
Anyhow. I played Realm of A Mad God again to see if I could get another BSOD after removing the AOD driver/program and after messing with the connections. Sure enough I got another one.
Sadly though, I went into my mini-dump file after restarting and I guess it didn't produce one. All I have is the same ones from last night. This one was different and I feel like an idiot for not writing it down and assuming that it created a log in minidump. The error was something to do with a Page_file_error or something. I'll try to reproduce it and get something that might be helpful.
I'm going to uninstall Eset now and just toss in Microsoft Sec. Essentials and see what happens.
Thanks again for the help.
EDIT: Also, I was running HWMonitor to keep a check on temps. When I play Minecraft usually the graphics card will hit around 70c. On Realm of a mad god it was only hitting 114F. Not really that high temp wise. I'll keep playing around.

Just a quick update:
Ran MemTest again, let it do 4 passes and produced nothing (on top of the 2 I ran before). I ran FurMark and "maxed out" at 85C with the fan maxing at 75% for about an hour. I ran it at my screens full resolution to try to push it a little harder and got it at 87c and the fan at 77-78%. Is there a way to push it harder?
I'm going to do the Prime95 test. Only one issue. On the "warnings" for it, it states that not to let the CPU to go over 60c or Prime95 could error out. I'm using HWMonitor and it's not showing a CPU temp. Just says 0c on all cores? Any way I can "fix" this issue before running this test?
I'm now going to run the SeaTools and try out my Hard drive.
Edit: Ran SeaTools (Long Test). Finished w/ no errors.

With the system not reading temps on the CPU - I'd have to wonder what's wrong. You have a recent CPU and motherboard - so the sensors should be there to read the temps.
Does the BIOS read any temps for the CPU?
Please use this free tool: HWiNFO, HWiNFO32 & HWiNFO64 - Hardware Information and Analysis Tools and post a screenshot of it for us to have a look at.
Don't worry about Prime95 erroring out - but we do worry about the CPU temp.
If you can't monitor the temp, then you won't know if/when it's overheating.
You can run it anyway and keep a close eye on it. That way, should it cause problems you can shut it down before the CPU overheats to the point where it shuts itself down (don't forget that it stays in the System Tray when you close the program).

Downloaded HwINFO64 and it seems to read the CPU temps. I went into my BIOS this morning and checked to see if it was showing CPU temps and it was. I guess it must be an issue with HWMoniter. The Screenshot you requested is attached to this post.
Thanks again Usasma!
If all looks good to you, I'm going to run Prime95 tonight when I get back home.

|06 Apr 2012
I'd say have a go at Prime95 - and be sure to monitor the temps (and voltages).
Good luck!

Ran Prime95. No errors.
I ran into someone else that was having the same issue (on facebook nonetheless lol) and found that AMD and 4dimms don't get along for some reason. I did further research and found this AMD CPU + G.Skill DDR3-1600 - GSKILL TECH FORUM
I'm gonna give this a shot and will report back to see if that's the issue. Just for future ref. if this is a "fix" or not

i'm new and i haven't tried this yet, i will start this night, but i have a question:
i remember some dreams very clearly. one was a nightmare in which i was trapped by dinosaurs and fire, at that time i was eight, and i remember one from my eightteenth birthday which was the same dream only this time it started wher my last one stopped like a sequel, this time i flew away. i remember those clearly.
plus i had another even stranger thing when i was 10 where i woke up and my dream went on until i switched on the light.
but i cant remember any other dreams.
my question is can i use the second dream in which i flew away to start lucid dreams and figure out what comes next?
What dreams can i use
If you're new to lucid dreaming, browse this forum for answers to your questions, or post and ask for specific tips on getting started.

Re: What dreams can i use
Yes, but choosing to enter a dream at a certain point takes a lot of practice. You'll need to either use a WILD technique to enter directly, or become lucid spontaneously and build the environment you want from scratch. Of these two methods, WILD is by far the easiest.
Dreaming is my drug
Re: What dreams can i use
thanks bed time is nearing, gonna test wild right away, highly doubt it'll work on the first try.
Destiny such an easy word, for such a hard thing to find.

Email Persuasion Tip #2: Create a Compelling Opening
The #1 essential ingredient of writing effective emails is to create a magnetic subject line that compels your clients to promptly open your email.
The #2 key is crafting a compelling opening sentence. This is so important, yet many people start off on the wrong foot. They forget to put the reader's needs first, what's important to them, and what will make them hungry to find out what your email says.

On Display: Le Creuset in the Home
Fashionistas have Prada. Home enthusiasts have Le Creuset. Whether it's a tiny space with limited storage or a huge loft featuring a walk-in cupboard, people love keeping their enamelware out for the world to see.
And why not? The classic design is timeless and pairs with most any style. From modern and minimal to eclectic and cluttered, it's perfect for adding a pop of color and homeyness. And let's not forget — they also help make a mean pot roast.
Where do you keep your Le Creuset? Do you use it often or is it just for show?

(Warning: This blog will probably be a little bit long winded and may include a couple of tangents in conversation... get used to it.... have I ever had a conversation stay on one topic ever..... and I'm really not joking! But today its easier for me to write out all this that's been bugging me, and it's easier than trying to put it into logical sentences over a phone or in conversations)
So after 22 years I have finally realized something about myself... sadly because of the lack of this thing I thrive on. I am kinda a control hog when it comes to my life. ... OK not Kinda... I am. I don't like other people making decisions for me and I really hate not knowing what's going to happen.
I'm not a red personality. I don't want to be the person in charge. My major color is Blue I want things organized and ready. And I hate it when things aren't planned and ready...
Now I enjoy random adventures and stuff, but ultimately I want to know that I will have a place to sleep at night and approximately when I'll get to a place and when I'll leave and I like planning beforehand what I might want to do. I may procrastinate deciding what I'll ultimately end up doing but I want to have a general idea.
And you're probably thinking... ok... yeah so you like control.... big deal why are you writing about it? Well here's why..... Cause I like to plan, and to know what's coming up... (you should see my schedule when I'm in school... it's all in writing) I think I may have taken after Mom on this. But anyway as I approach the end of my education... I'm beginning to mentally FREAK out a little.. okay a LOT!!!!
Basically the last 22 yrs of my life I've always know what came next and usually it had something to do with my education. I went to Joy School and Preschool and Kindergarten and then all the way up through the 13 yrs of public education.
And then I've gone through 4 full years of college, and here I am entering my LAST semester in Rexburg and I'm getting ready for student teaching to complete my fifth year.
It's pretty easy to be confident with what to do when there's basically another step to reach another thing to master. But now I'm reaching the end of my current educational path.
And I've finally made up my mind about both Fall semester and my student teaching semester starting in January. At least about where I want to live... but now again my need for control is starting to flare up minorly concerning fall semester.
I know where I want to live, but I'm not planning on living with anyone I already know, so I'm extremely anxious to get an email telling me who I'm going to be living with! And it was supposed to be here like the beginning of this week and a day or so ago I got an email saying that the roommie lists could possibly take another week!!! And I'm starting to stress... The longer I have to wait the more I worry about having 5 freshman roommates or moldy dishes hanging out in the sink and a table buried under stacks of roommates crap.
Which really aren't things that I can control. But I just want to know who so I can accept the worst if it is freshman or at least stalk them on facebook. :D
But I'm still excited to be done in Rexburg.... and to be able to move on to a new time in my life.
And I'm excited to go to Mesa, Arizona. It feels like it's where I'm supposed to be.
But I'm a worry wart and a what ifer... and I'm worried I might not really like it. I've never had to control a whole class by myself ALL DAY. And I'm sure I can do it. And I'm sure I'm going to make a fabulous teacher, but there's always those what ifs.
What's really trying my patience and causing a massive flare in my need to control is actually the fact that I have absolutely NO CLUE what I'm going to do after I walk across the stage to receive my diploma in April. Until I finish student teaching and answer some of my what ifs I can't make up my mind about what I want to do.
I know I don't want to spend the rest of my life in my parents' basement, but I don't know where I want to go, and some days I don't even know for sure that I want to teach. I've thought about going on to graduate school, but I'm actually thinking about Occupational Therapy if I go, or there's always teaching or I may think about becoming an IBI therapist for the company I currently work for if I stick around here.... It's extremely nice pay :D.... and I've also thought about working for a few months and then going on a mission.
And like I want to get out of Idaho Falls, and Rexburg for a while and try it on my own for a while. But I really don't know where... and some days I even wonder if I'll be able to handle it even. Yeah I moved away for college... but come on... I moved less than 30 miles to Rexburg. I probably see my family more when I'm away at school on the weekends at family stuff than I do when I'm living at home and working.
And so my 3mos in Mesa are going to kinda be my starting ground to see what I really want to do. Sometimes I hope I get offered a teaching job down there, or maybe meet some graduate student at ASU or some guy working down there and fall madly in love and have a reason to stay. But there's also the thought that I may get down there and decide that I don't like teaching. or that I never want to leave Idaho again. So I really don't know right now.
I just feel like I'm spinning my tires right now. I'm ready for the final lap of the race of college, but I don't know where I'm going to place in the race until I actually start moving again.
This summer I'm working at TLC for the 6th summer straight and I've been in the same singles branch since I graduated. And as of fall I'll have lived in Rexburg 10 semesters.
And I'm ready for change, I need something different. I'm just scared of the what ifs, and I'm afraid that what I've dreamed is exactly that just a dream.
I just don't KNOW! and I know this is probably just Heavenly Father's way of teaching me patience, but I just really wish I could have an idea of what I should plan on doing after I graduate.
I really want the control of being able to say "Yeah I plan to ______, in ________ after I graduate." But I honestly can't. There are to many variables, what ifs and maybes.... and it's driving this control freak nutty! I feel like my life right now is basically at the cliff hanger of a season finale... the "To Be Continued..." point and well the script is still being written for the next season, so there's a ton of loose ends still waiting to decide what's going to continue on to the next season and what's just going to get written out. And the next season will basically be determined by the end results of the last few seconds of the season finale. And I guess for me that season finale cliffhanger is student teaching.... I'm hoping after that's done I'll have an impression of what I'm going to be doing beyond the cliffhanger.

Aunt Kathy was asking what the purple tree was. Well, a friend who has just returned from Australia was helpful enough to let me know the name (thanks Jen!)
It's called the Jacaranda Tree.

My friend Bill went ahead and found out some interesting information on the trees from Wikipedia:
The city of Brisbane in Australia has a local reputation of having a significant population of Jacaranda trees. The University of Queensland in the city's inner west has a very high concentration of the tree, and due to the impressive display of purple flowers in mid-Spring, which wind up littering vast sections of the suburbs, local folklore claims that "one won't start studying for exams until the jacarandas have molted". At Sydney University there exists a similar expression "by the time the jacaranda in the main quadrangle flowers, it's too late to start studying for exams".
This has led to the slang name "exam tree" being attached to the plant. At the University of Queensland students even maintain a joke superstition that if a Jacaranda bloom falls on their head during exam time, they will fail an exam. The bad luck can be broken by catching another bloom before it hits the ground.
The reason for the Jacaranda's proliferation in Brisbane is often attributed to the thirties and forties, when new mothers leaving the maternity hospital were given a jacaranda sapling to plant.
Jacarandas in bloom have become closely associated with Brisbane and South East Queensland. The Brisbane City Council have used jacarandas to line avenues, and commercial developments in some areas, particularly along the Brisbane River have incorporated jacarandas into their landscape design. The trees are common in parks throughout the city, most notably in a long curved avenue in the inner city New Farm Park, in Goodna, and in private gardens. Brisbane's hilly geography allows views of the city and suburbs in which the brightly coloured flowers can be easily seen for miles.
The jacaranda has become so much a part of the city's identity that contemporary art, particularly of streetscapes, often incorporates the flowering jacaranda, despite the fact that it only flowers for approximately six weeks from September through October.
The city of Grafton on the north coast of New South Wales, Australia, is also famous for its Jacarandas. Every October the city has a Jacaranda festival during the period of full bloom. A street parade, local public holiday and a series of events are held. A local public holiday sees the city's businesses perform street theatre for passers by and street stalls proliferate. A Jacaranda Queen and Jacaranda Princess are named at a formal ball.
So there you have it!

Washington, D.C. (23 June 2008) – A Pew research survey released June 23 found that 92 percent of Americans believe in God and a majority consider religion an important part of their lives. Fifty-eight percent of Americans pray every day.
"Now if we can just get them to act like they believe in God," said Judie Brown, president of American Life League. "While it's encouraging that the rest of the country acknowledges the existence of the Lord, one wonders how so many can contemplate truth and eternity while simultaneously turning a blind eye to legalized infanticide."
"The study confirms what is already known about the United States – that it is a deeply religious nation," reports the Washington Post. The study surveyed 35,000 adults around the country.
But while a majority of Americans believe in God and pray every day, the survey also states that "most Americans don't feel their religion is the only way to eternal life – even if their faith tradition teaches otherwise," according to the Associated Press.
"The real enemy to the preborn, to our culture, to our nation, is the moral relativism that has our world, literally, in a death grip," Brown said. "That same mentality blurs the line between right and wrong and has opened the door for abortion. We'll make little headway in defending the preborn until we take a clear and unwavering stance in favor of objective Truth: Murder of the innocent is always wrong."
American Life League was cofounded in 1979 by Judie Brown. It is the largest grassroots Catholic pro-life organization in the United States and is committed to the protection of all innocent human beings from the moment of creation to death.
