All of the girls finally received their bridesmaid dresses (yeah!). Kate, the best maid of honor ever, immediately sent me a picture of her in the dress:

The big project of the weekend (other than the usual cleaning of the house, and putting down the gutter) was beautifying the front of the house. The house came with a black wicker swing on the front porch, and we had a white wicker chair that we got from James' grandmother. Two cans of black spray paint, and few black fingerstips later, we had a black wicker chair to match the black wicker swing. We also put up the American flag, and some hanging flowers. Here is the end result:
I kind of love it!
