So....I have to tell this story because it is hilarious. Right after I wrote the blog about Oprah, my parents and youngest sister went to TN to find a place for her to live next year. (She will be starting grad school.) While they were with the realtor, my other sister called to tell my mother that the lady who was doing the alterations on my wedding gown had called. Her name is Coco. (Can you see where this is going?) Mom hung up without questioning Julia, and told my father, sister and the realtor that Oprah had personally called me. I mean, seriously? I still think that is hysterical!
Hope all is well with everyone. I have been in Birmingham since last Tuesday, getting my wedding groove on. We are having final appointments with different vendors and just getting all the loose ends tied up. This past Saturday, my friends who I have grown up with threw me a bridal tea. Let me tell you something I have learned being a bride. I don't know what the heck I am doing. The tea started at 2:30 and for some reason, I decided I had plenty of time to work out, shower and get ready before we needed to leave. I did not factor in that the bride is supposed to be early to these events. As I was putting on my fabulous new blue wedges, I noted that it was 2:30. I shuffled mom and my future mother in law into the car and jumped out at the place where the super cute shower was set up. We were having tornadoes and rain all that day. As I burst through the front door (with guests looking at me because they arrived BEFORE me) I realized I probably looked like a hurricane myself. I tried to compose myself with a mimosa before I started to make the rounds.
The shower was wonderful. I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family, and felt so grateful that they would want to throw me a party. That evening my girlfriends and I went out for a wonderful dinner and caught up on life. It was perfect.
Aside from that, we have another shower to attend this weekend in ATL. Some of Mike's mother's friends are throwing it and I am very excited. My grandmother is coming in town from Virginia to make the party as well. I think it is going to be a blast. Oh! And we finally nailed down a honeymoon spot! We will be spending 7 luxurious day in Aruba. No Natalie Holloway comments please.
Poor Mike has been at home alone, but he seems to be doing just fine. He called me at 11 pm to tell me that his friend had "kidnapped" him and they were headed to the casinos. That's fine, I will just keep logging in all the RSVPs that we have received and writing thank you notes. I did leave him alone without thinking that we are getting presents and he is by himself with them. He opened one over the phone tonight and didn't stop until 3 were opened. I am scared of what I am going to find when I get home. He may have already had several meals on our fine china!
Oh! I forgot to tell you that I got a new job....waitressing. I know - I wasn't a very good waitress, but this basically fell into my lap. A friend of a friend owns a restaurant and asked if they knew anyone who needed a job. Ding, ding, ding! I think this is going to be a much more laid back environment, and hopefully enjoyable. They even said if I am any good, they may put me behind the bar! (I guess I don't need to tell them I spilled a beer on that 4 year old kid at my other job...)
Hope everyone is surviving this miserable pollen - I am not. Have a great week!
