Color Me :( :/
I am in knots.
Wes told me yesterday that he can't make the trip this weekend and do Guy's Day with Dad and the others in Ocean City. Artificial Intelligence is his hardest class, and his professor is one of the top computer science brains in the industry today. They are getting a take-home exam that will be emailed to them on Saturday, and it is due on Monday. Wes says he needs to be in Morgantown to do this test because he and the rest of the class will need each other to figure it out, and that skyping emailing etc won't cut it.
I called dad this morning around 8:30 to tell him, and before I could even get to the news Dad started telling me how he had to get the surf rods together... its only Wednesday. :( I could feel that hollow drop when I broke the news to dad.
I've been sad all day, because I knew Dad was excited about this trip, and that he was more devastated than I wanted to hear in his voice. All day sad. I hate disappointing him, I love my dad.
At about 7:15, I got a call from dad which began with "do you have a few minutes to talk? ok, so..." For dad to say "I understand, its just a bummer" in the morning and then have thought about it all day enough to call me in the evening and try to make it work, its a big deal.
I talked to Wes; hes stressed and sorry and he wanted to come too and blah blah blah blah bottom line hes not coming. He called and talked to dad.
I'm bummed.
I am, however, looking forward to Jes' bridal shower on Saturday. It will be just me and the cat making the long drive in Wes' borrowed Lincoln, but it will be worth it. I am in charge of desserts, and I am going to do the chocolate fountain with various dipping items: raspberries and blueberries on frilled toothpick skewers, strawberries, marshmallows, pineapple, pretzels, cheesecake bites, etc. Chelsea and I will probably go over to Erin's early on Saturday to prepare. Chels is in charge of decorations so she will be getting that together, and I will be making sugar bowls to hold the dipping items. I love that we get to do this for Jes!
