A flat tire leads the way
Aug 15Today started out as a good day. I left the house to go sell a few Darien Lake tickets to a friend for $50 which I was grateful for b/c it helps curb costs. Well I get there at 8:30 and come back to my little town. I decide to get the pop for the wedding today while I was already out since it was supposed to be close to 90F. I pull into Tops parking lot and hear hissing. Once I get out I see my driver side rear tire quickly deflating. After groaning and trying to call my brother (since he was at my house with Randy) and getting a turned off phone, I get ahold of mom. She gets woken up, has to drive 28 miles to get me, and we drive about 1 mile to get Randy. If I wasn’t 8 months pregnant with constantly swollen feet combined with it being 84F by the time it happened I probably would’ve walked home to get him.
We grabbed him out of a dead sleep and he put my spare on for me (which I also know how to do) and we came back home. Apparently there was a screw in my tire. Being that it’s a clean hole we should be able to patch it and not have to spend money to replace it. After arriving home and hitting the hay again we got up at about 4:30. Since then I’ve been doing ChaCha along with making dinner which was lasagna made with venison sausage and was absolutely declious. Now? My brother, Corey, Randy, and I are all set up in the living room on our computers. It’s typical for Saturdays because it’s Randy’s only day off. Him working 6 days a week sucks sometimes.
We can’t forget Colby in this mix though. I’ve moved my desk to being right in front of the fan due to the 90 degree heat. It’s going to be this bad for the next 2 days too. UGH. Currently the forecast for the wedding is low 70′s and cloudy but no rain so YAY.
Getting married in 9 days
Aug 13Yep, you read it right. My wedding is in 9 days and since it’s getting late we’re almost to 8. That’s a scary thought when combined with how much we still have left to do. So far we have
- Got all the clothing for the groom/groomsmen/best man
- Got my dress/bridesmaids/MoH
- Ordered the cake
- Hired the judge
- Purchased a marriage license
- Booked the park pavilion where we’re getting married
- Invited everyone and expecting 50-60 as a turnout
Mom and I are supposed to get together tomorrow to get a tiara and garter for me, pick up flowers for the bouquet, do some more of the food shopping (Most of my family is bringing a dish to pass but there are gaps to fill in), and get a few more decorations. For pictures we have plenty of friends/family and digital cameras and for music Randy has a nice sound system on his computer so that’s getting brought along and we’re throwing on a play list of songs we’ve made for the reception. We are dancing to Avril Lavigne’s “Keep Holding On” because with everything we’ve been through there is no other song that fits more perfectly. We’re not honeymooning due to him just starting a job and working 6 days a week and because we can’t leave the state anyways.
Then I’m due a month from the date of the wedding. Exciting!
