I survived what was possibly the biggest wedding I'll ever experience. Thank you all for the encouragement and prayers. a few things:
- the bride and I "made up", without really needing to have a heart to heart. Once she arrived at the hotel room to start getting ready, she seemed to be trying to make amends through her actions. She was muh more calm and relaxed on the wedding day than on any other day in the past few weeks, and she seemed to be making special efforts to show me love and appreciation. Knowing her, I took that as her form of an apology. I also think she spoke with the other girl I mentioned earlier, because with the exception of helping her into her dress in the morning, she left us alone for the rest of the day and I got to do more of the MOH duties I was anticipating.
the bride took several opportunities to take me off to the side for little private moments, and that meant the world to me.
- when I FINALLY got to see her dress on her...she looked like an angel. It was made in the Philippines, so it's not like any dress I've seen in salons here, but she was absolutely radiant. Oh, and the entire garment including the detachable train weighed an absolutely absurd amount. I felt bad for the bride because the beginning of the wedding aisle featured some downward stairs, and she was not escorted by her father (they met up halfway down the aisle) so she had no arm to lean on. I also had the responsibility of "policing the train and veil" and I was really nervous about that role, especially since my position on the stage was actually up on a flight of stairs, so I had to descend the steps to adjust her train, step around it and ascend the steps again EVERY time she moved haha. I did my best and managed to not trip or cause any major disasters, so that's a plus.
- I have to admit, for all the fuss that went into things, the bridal party looked pretty fabulous. Like, Pinterest-worthy fabulous.
- I kinda sorta might have possibly nailed my speech at the reception.

what an answer to prayer, hallie! i'm so very happy for you in how things worked out, and this day will be one of positive memories for you both to reflect upon. awesome!
awwww dubs! i'm so sorry. praying for you right now, honey. *hugs*
praying that things work out for you and this opportunity. : )
...but i'm not ready to endorse your plans for world domination quite yet. ; p
being a "barefoot" kind of girl, it's difficult for me to say this, but perhaps for your own safety you should start wearing something on your feet in the house,dear rachel.
i stepped on a tiny shard of glass a couple weeks ago, and bled like a russian royal. it's finally healed up and has a pretty nifty, tiny, "j" shaped scar on it. it's a nice addition to the motley assortment.
glass shards are awful. hope your feet are back in shape soon.

Also, it's July! I can't wear house shoes in July! They make me too hot. But considering the terrible time I've had, it might be worth it!
I dunno what I'm trying to prove....I should really stay home and NOT go to Minnesota for college this year. I should really wait to get my license. I should stay and take care of Mocha till he fully recovers. Maybe I'm thinking I can prove everyone wrong and show them how well I'll do. Not be stuck in this life I'm living right now. I feel so stuck.
Happy Birthday Tintin and Pipp.
Wait a minute, I have my own plans for evil world domination. There are only two ways to resolve this conflict 1) I send my minions to neutralize you 2) We team up and increase our chances of success against all the other people who have inferior plans for evil world domination. The minions will be dispatched in 3 hours, but I will call them off if you agree to teamwork.
Get a pair of cheap flip flops or crocs. That's what they do around here.

I call them house shoes. Also, it's July! I can't wear house shoes in July! They make me too hot. But considering the terrible time I've had, it might be worth it!

Both kittens are super energetic tonight, which is great. Lewis' UR infection seemed to be getting worse at the end of last week. Lots of eye and nose gunk and his eyes are super red today. I called the vet and was able to go pick up a prescription for him. He did not seem excited about life this morning, but tonight he's all over the place, which gives me hope that he'll get better. I'll be happy when I can stop giving them medicine, because I know it's not their most favorite time of the day.
I JUST WANTED TO TAKE THE TIME TO WISH TINTIN, THE MOST ATTRACTIVE, THE MOST HONEST, HUMBLE, CARING, GENTLE, KIND, THOUGHTFUL, LOVING, PATIENT, RESPECTFUL, ENDEARING, BEARDY CC MEMBER HERE (SORRY, GUYS ), A VERY WARM AND WONDERFUL HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
LET'S CELEBRATE AND THROW CHRISTIAN SOME LOVIN' TODAY!

Maybe you can just throw him some lovin on everyone's behalf.

It's a beautiful night tonight. We have the windows open and the attic fan on because it's so nice and cool outside. I'm sitting in the comfy arm chair in my room with just the lamp on, sheer white curtains flowing gently around me since the chair is in between two windows. Lit a pumpkin spice candle and a cinnamon latte candle so it smells heavenly
It feels like fall, definitely not like the end of July. I am okay with this. Fall is my favorite and I'm so ready for it! Then again, I'm not much of a summer girl at all, so I've been ready for fall since...mid-June or so. Though, this has been a fairly mild summer.
