Mom and dad finally visit!
Gah we might not be able to move into our new place til Sept 1 which can be a problem since the new tenants move in on that date plus we're all working. GAH! Anyway.
Home was great as per usual. I spent time home with mom and Laura, went to S'ville for Lee and Berlynn's wedding, to CB and saw nan, met with the wedding planner, to Pasadena to see Susan (who had a beautiful baby boy, 5lbs 5 oz on June 4, Alex William King), and Laura and I went on the quad for 2 hours. We went up the line with Rosco and I rode him bareback, lol, and every time he trotted I'd bounce all the way to his bum, have to slow him to a walk, move myself up then trot again. Like that most of the ride, haha. So got to spend lots of time with both mom and Laura plus Jack came home! :D
Jack was missing for 2 weeks and 2 days. We're thinking it was cuz Laura babysat her friend's (Kira) dog cuz Jack is never gone even for a full 24 hours. He showed up the night of the wedding and we were all calling each other freaking out, damn crazy cat family. Anyway, he's not hurt and in perfect condition. :) Back to his old routine now.
Lee and Berlynn's wedding was June 25 and it was so much fun. Ryan was standing and Glenda was there with her new bf (who was pretty fun). Ryan calls me an hour before the wedding, "Wedding mommy!" (I helped the guys a lot during Greg's wedding) Can you come over to Lee's and tie our ties!" I don't know how to tie a tie! Well I can but it's always crooked. :S So Ryan calls at least 4 ppl and couldn't find anyone. Berlynn sends over her aunt and when she gets there here are the 4 guys on the couch watching a you tube video on how to tie their ties. XD
They had an outdoor wedding with music playing and at the end they blasted epic music and Lee ran down the aisle with Berlynn in his arms. :D They designed their own cake which was falling down by the end of the reception. Thom found a mother-son song. I decided to copy their delicious dessert choice! We headed home around 2:30am and the next morning we went to CB.
I'm finally getting excited for our wedding. Before I was just nervous of things going wrong or not done right or being boring but after seeing how fast Lee and Berlynn's wedding went I'm just excited! I can't wait and I hope it's a blast. :) We're having shots instead of clanging glasses (bells for the non-drinkers) to get us to kiss and Thom thought up changing the bridal party dance half way through from a slow dance to a fast one.
I got rid of my one inch silver shoes http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca-eng/women/shoes/mid-low-heels/83463560-lallo/81, they were brutal around the toes. Found some cute flats I'm breaking in. :) http://www.callitspring.com/us/women/shoes/fashion-flats/82874579-esparaza/86
The bridesmaids dresses are gorgeous!!! Vanessa looked amazing and Laura's did too in the opposite colors, Sara's is way too big but it will look great once it's altered. I saw the pics online but I was terrified when they arrived they would be hideously slapped together with loose threads and god knows what but they are BEAUTIFUL. They fit them like a smack in the mouth, the boning is slimming and the colors are wonderful. I'm sooo pleased and even more so cuz they are too. :)
I worked Wednesday and Thursday days when I get a message Wed from mom asking what I think about her and dad coming for a short visit. I couldn't believe it! They came out Thursday just in time for me to get off and dad's GPS brought them straight to my door. We went to Swiss Chalet that night which mom hasn't had since it was in CB then drove around before heading home.
The next morning we went for a long drive then to Bagel Cafe which they loved before going to Signal Hill. Then we went to Winners, Princess Auto, Bowring park, Harley Davidson and grabbed a case of Coors before heading home again. We chatted a bit before going to Montanas (mom got hammered) then we went to the mall and dad bought a helicopter, LOL. We went home and watched "Smokey and the Bandit" then to bed.
They were gone again 7am the next morning but it was so great to see them. It took them nearly a year before they came but hopefully now they'll do it again.
Time to go to bed and snuggle my fiance. Poor zoomie isn't feeling good. :(
