Three Murders and a Wedding

The wedding planning is coming along! I suppose with only 40 days to go until the big day though, things had better be coming along!
Chris' aunt spent a couple nights at the house with us, and she helped out a lot by making my bouquets and boutonnieres. I'm so glad, because I'm not talented in floral arrangements at all.

Also, we ordered my wedding ring, and I am so excited! I wish I didn't have to wait to wear it, because it is just so beautiful!

Let's see...we also mailed out all but maybe 8 of our invitations and are already getting quite a few back.

Today, Chris and I put our cake stand on reserve, and the other day, our aisle runner came in the mail!

Yesterday, I went with Chris' mom and sisters to David's Bridal for my dress fitting. It was weird getting back in to the dress! I can't believe I own a wedding dress!

Anyhow, there is still plenty more to do, and I should really probably be getting it done instead of writing on my blog or reading as much as I have been...but I guess I just hand to do everything the hard way!

Thanks to Chris' morbid interest in the Girl Scout murders of Oklahoma some 30 years ago, I read Someone Cry for the Children, and now I'm interested in the case too!

Basically, three very young girl scouts were killed at Camp Scott, and the man that they tried for the murders was set free, only to die shortly after. The book was written by two brothers that worked hard on the case for all three years, from beginning to end, and takes the side of Gene Leroy Hart being completely guilty.

Well, another book is coming out in about a month called Tent Number Eight by Gloyd McCoy,  and it takes the side that Mr. Hart should have never been put on trial for the murders.

Now, I think that is a load of baloney. I think that after reading Someone Cry for the Children, Mr. Hart was 100% guilty. I am interested to read Tent Number Eight though to see how on earth anyone could see his as being innocent.

Don't take my word for it though! Check it out for yourself and come to your own conclusions!

Gloyd McCoy will be at the Ardmore Public Library on August 17th, 2011 to answer questions, talk about the book and sign autographs.

I'd love to go, but I may have to work.

If anyone else has read the books or knows about the Girl Scout murders, I'd love to hear your opinions and input on the innocence or guilt of Gene Leroy Hart as well as an explanation as to why you believe what you do.
