talby spent the week at drama camp with her cousin Macy.
then on friday we get to come and watch their play.
it was cute as always!
i wore my faaaaaavorite dress (from Cato last year) to talby's play.
then we left from the play to meet up with craig's family for a rehearsal dinner and wedding.
the little girls wanted to get fancy for the wedding.
talby was the program girl.
she did an excellent job of course. :)
we danced the night away.
photo booths at weddings are so much fun!
my girls tried to catch the bouquet but they weren't even close.
we ALL met up at the craft house and the 16 of us are hangin' out.
we watched Craft Wars….on TLC….with Tori Spelling….have you seen it?
i was really loving it.
except for the judges and the dumb reality tv drama.
but it's fun to see the crafts!
since it's july…i decided this is the month i am going to become a morning person.
cause i need to be.
it's too hot to run any other time than EARLY.
day one is done.
i liked it.
we'll see how tomorrow goes.
Photo Booth Manchester - When I was young, I use to think my own mom was insane to get up so beginning. Now, I know her key.
WEIBO WEIBO - I have read your article.Article is very interesting,thanks for your sharing. I will necessarily add it in the selected works and I will visit this site.

Valerie @ Chateau A La Mode - I love weddings…anybody’s wedding, but especially when it’s special friends and family. Those are the best. A photo booth would be super fun. I’m filing that idea away for my girlies 😉 Happy Fourth!
Vonda - You all are beautiful! Love your favorite dress! I am soooo not a morning person! I wish we had a little summer around here-rumor has it maybe by the weekend?! I would like to just go for a walk without the rain!!! I think the state of Washington is the only state not reaching record breaking temps! Would love to pass a little of our rain to all the other states that need it so bad right now! I need to remember to check out Craft Wars!:)
Katherine @ Grass Stains - Meg, when I saw these window treatments, I thought, “These are MEGAN DUERKSEN all OVER.” I had to send you the link. They would be so perfect for some of your fabric scraps … I could see them on all the windows at the Craft House! http://sweetcheekstastytreats.blogspot.com/2012/07/something-sweet-ripped-fabric-window.html
Jamie - That photo of you in your favorite dress is just truly beautiful. 🙂
beth - I’m with you on running in the am, it’s so hot by mid morning, got to get it in early!
Jenna@CallHerHappy - I always love when I get up early…after the getting up part, of course! Also, Craft Wars is so fun. I agree about the drama though. Just show me some crafts 🙂
Laura - I know this is completely off topic, but do you know what happened to Laura’s blog “piece of cake.” i was away on vacation and when I came back it was gone. I truly love your blog and hers as well. I was wondering if I missed her goodbye post. Just checking to see if you knew 🙂
steph - i am SO not a morning person…
but honestly, i started running early mornings (between 6 and 6:30) since late spring and i LOVE it!
it’s SO hard to get up when the alarm goes, but once i’m out the door, there’s no looking back.
and i feel i’m a better mom when i do go out in the mornings.
you’d think i’d be more tired?
but i actually have way more energy… it’s a great way to start the day!!!!
too bad i can’t do it in winter too…
too dark here! ha ha ha!
Carrie - Ahh.. I have my neverending summer early morning trainers to wake me. My youngest gets up at 5:00 and the oldest a little bit after her. They both love to ride in my BOB duallie so it works out! Of. course I typically have to swing by the park as a reward, but that is ok.
Christy - Not a morning runner either, not by a long shot, but my running partner and I decided 100+ degree days made it necessary. We just switched to mornings last week. I, dare I say it, actually like it because it makes me get up and get going earlier. I feel like I accomplish much more in the day! Thanks for creating such a bright spot on the internet. Your devotion to God and your family are evident in every post. Keep it up!
Kirsten J - Love the wedding photos! And alrighty, girlie, if you say so….looks like summer is finally going to hit here in the PNW (after the 4th of July, as usual). SO if I’m going to walk, I have to get up and get out the door early. Ughh.
lisa currie-gurney - Mornings are the very best time of day.
The peace and quiet are like no other.
When I was younger, I use to think my own mother was crazy to get up so early.
Now, I know her secret.
Hope you discover it too Meg.
Hugs From My Heart

I wanted to let you know that I offically thanked you on my blog for your Summer Wish Lists I found on Pinterest. They inspired me to get my family to create our own:

Now let’s just see if we can use our list to inspire us to actually DO the things we put on it!
Heather F. - Your 2 little girls have grown so much in the last couple of months. Your favorite dress is rad 🙂
Talysa - Your hair is gorgeous. Makes me miss having shorter hair. Till I remember that it is so hard to find people that know how to cut it properly. :-)Love that dress too.
