This last weekend was absolutely exausting, what with Emilie and Justin's wedding, finishing the graphics for Ahea, working Saturday morning, and driving to Oregon for the first time, with me driving the whole way. I considered giving a outline of everything that happened, and I had even started it that way this morning. But then we had to be on the road again, and I realized that I had already written close to 600 words, and hadn't even finished Friday. So this time I'm going to do something like what Nicole did, making a list of things that stood out.
I really enjoyed setting up for the wedding and the reception. It was a lot of work, but when working with friends, you really don't mind that much, and it felt good to be doing that kind of stuff again. I really appreciated that you allowed me to give advice, and be bossy, Merissa.
In the end, the church and the gym looked fantastic. Despite the too small table clothes and the silverware.
I had to laugh at the silverware. It was the hyper-cheap silverware collector's dream, with no two forks alike.
It really warmed my heart to see Emilie walk up the center isle. She's been looking forward to this for so long.
I had to get up at 5:30 to go to work on Saturday, which was a real pain I can tell you. Add to that the fact that it was snowing, that I had only an hour to change and get to the church afterwords, and that I also was losing my voice, and you've got a pretty lousy morning.
I lost my voice completely after the wedding ceremony. Mainly ordering about the many drudges under my control. By the time we got to the gym to finish setting up, I sounded like my voice was changing all over again. Then by the time supper started, I couldn't speak above a whisper without totally cracking all over the place.
While the choir was singing, "we are not alone" I had to move one of the candle things so we could use the projector, but the stupid thing tipped over, and I get wax through my hair, down the back of my shirt, and down the back of my pants. I looked pretty funny.
After the reception was over, I could barely stand I was so tired. I sat on the steps up to the stage, trying to stay awake.
And now, I'm here in Oregon!
Talk later!

ReplyDeleteA long weekend is definitely right! Long. Exhausting. Beautiful. Truck loads of fun. It was a weekend filled with fabulous memories.
Thanks for all the fun and advice Mr. Pro. I would have made a mess if you hadn't been there!
