Feeling better - sort of
Just had an awesome weekend. Headed to the airport Friday evening to meet Gill, who was arriving for a teeny tiny visit (In case you don't know, Gill was my roommate in Hali for two years, and is going to be my maid of honour), so that was exciting. I started grinning as soon as I saw her, and it was so amazing to see her again, since it's been... almost a year and a half. I missed her so much.
Anyway, so I picked her up there, then brought her home, and then headed downtown to pick up some sparkling wine and orange juice so we could have one of our also-very-missed mimosa and move nights. Sent the boys off to the Sock'n'Buskin season launch and proceeded to get very pleasantly hammered on mimosas while we watched Center Stage. Just like back in Hali. It was fantastic.
Slept in yesterday, then met my mom at the dress shop to try on wedding dresses. That was pretty awesome. Seeing myself in a wedding dress was just really exciting. I kept picturing what Fuzzy's face is going to look like when he sees me in one next summer. I can't wait for that moment. Didn't buy a dress, because my mom's going to make my dress, but I wanted to have the experience of trying the dresses on - and I'm so very happy Gill was able to be here when I did - and I wanted to make sure that the style of dress I'd already determined I want actually looks good on me. It does. (Yay!) So then we took a trip to Fabricland and found a pattern to work off. Didn't manage to find any fabric this trip, but we will, and then we can start making the dress, and that's going to be very exciting. Ended the day with a late dinner at the Highlander, where we were eventually joined by the boys, after a long day of auditions for them.
This morning we got up and chilled for a while, until it was time to go back to the airport, where I saw her into the security line, and that was that. She should have taken off about half an hour ago, and should be back home in another hour or so. Which is where the only sort of feeling better part comes in. Seeing Gill off wasn't quite as bad as watching Fuzzy leave when he'd visit me in Hali, but it was similar. I'd missed her so much, and having her here was so amazing, and just like it was when we lived together, and it was just so nice to have her around again, and it was not nearly long enough. So the leaving part sucked, but the weekend was still excellent, and I'm so happy she could come.
And even better is that she says she'll try to come again in the spring, which is cool because a) I'll get to see her again, and b) she'll actually be able to come to my shower, that I guess she's even going to try and help plan with my sister, presumably. So that's awesome, too, because I really wasn't expecting her to be able to make it for that.
So yeah. Still kinda down about the dance thing, and also a little because now Gill's gone again, but also very happy, because it really was awesome to see her again.
