All I can say is, some significant changes might be on the horizon.
And for those of you wondering: No, I’m not pregnant; I don’t have cancer; I’m still graduating in December; Phillip and I are still getting married June 11th; and there should be nothing negative about possible changes.
Today I’m packing and running some last minute errands. I still need to go pick up Samantha and Gary’s wedding present, make a wine list card for their tables, and clean. I just finished packing my clothes and such, but still need my bathroom stuff, which will be packed tomorrow morning right before leaving. I also finished baking the cookies!
My homework that is due tomorrow night needs to be done and I have a study group at 7:00 tonight. Things are crazy, but at least they’re getting done. Leaving tomorrow right after my test (which is at 9:10).
Today was pretty great, despite the scary and rocky start this morning (Thanks, Mr. UT Gunman). Here are the great things that happened today:
1. I finally have decided what to get Samantha and Gary for their wedding present! Hooray! Tomorrow I will purchase it from the really weird lady I talked to today and tomorrow night I’ll wrap it. I love wrapping! Hopefully they’ll love it.
2. My 12:45 class got cancelled. This was an unexpected surprise, but was much welcomed. The class only meets once a week, but this freed up time to get some homework done before work.
3. I didn’t have to make cold calls to businesses asking for donations yesterday or today. This inevitably means I’ll have to tomorrow, but oh well. All I did at work today was put labels on suckers. It sounds miserable, but it was mindless and I got to chit chat with my boss the whole time.
4. The cop looked the other way. Yes. I was driving 10 mph over the speed limit. I hardly ever do this, but the speed limit had just changed and I wasn’t paying enough attention. I passed a cop. Crap. But then as I passed him, I saw him looking out his window at who-knows-what. Victory!
5. Quiznos is cancelling my favorite salad in the whole world – but College Station hasn’t yet. For those of you who follow my Twitter, I truly have a love/hate relationship with the nearby Quiznos. They usually forget my dressing or make my glorious salad and not tell me they’re out of the signature dressing until it’s time to pay. However, this time, they pulled through for me. My salad was completed perfectly with the dressing. It is no longer listed on the menu, but the College Station one obviously has the hookup.
6. My boss gave me Thursday off! Thursdays are my longest days at work (11:30-5:00). This Thursday I have a test at 9:10, that I will most likely finish before 10:00 since I’m such a fast test-taker. I was going to have to kill time for an hour and a half before working a long day and finally hitting the road at 5:00. But, now that I have the day off, I will most likely be leaving College Station by 10:30, to arrive in HEB at approximately 1:30pm. Yay!
So you see, my day has been quite wonderful. I still have a bunch of stuff to do before going home Thursday, but my list is growing shorter as I get things done. All I have to do tonight is design a wine list card for the wedding, finish up homework, go to a meeting, make the rest of the cookies for this weekend, and hopefully watch some TV. The wedding is coming up so soon!! 4 more days!
Today has been another relaxing and pretty fun day. I woke up and drank my cup of coffee before getting ready for the day. Then people came over for the cowboy game – I cooked appetizers for everyone! I’ve been kind of sitting around watching the Cowboy game ever since then.
Once this game is over, my parents and I are venturing out to the winery where Samantha’s wedding will be Saturday. We need to do some measurements and look around one last time to get things all worked out. Did I mention how much I’m looking forward to this weekend still? Yay!
After all of that is done, I’ll get back on the road back to College Station – wonderfully delicious pumpkin spice latte in hand. I’m ready to get things done this week so i can come back for a homework-free weekend. I need to also find shoes to wear in the wedding, and a wedding present for my big sis.
Lots to do and so little time!
Exactly one week from today is my big sister’s wedding day. I am so excited for her and can’t wait to see her in the most beautiful and perfect wedding dress for her. It’ll be fun to spend time with family and see my sister the happiest she’s ever been.
She sure does deserve this. She’s been waiting her whole life for prince charming – and 14 years for a good father for Jeremy. Now she finally has both! We love him and can’t wait for him and his family to be a part of ours. Did I mention that this all happens in one week!?
There’s still so much to be done! Today I’m getting my bangs trimmed and nails done; my dad’s getting a hair cut; my mom’s looking for last-minute decoration needs; and we’re all just bracing ourselves for the crazy week ahead.
My parents are wonderful. They are doing so much to make sure this day is the best for Samantha. Dad is power washing the whole exterior of the house once it stops pouring outside and getting the carpets cleaned this week. Mom is getting the maid to come (best idea ever!), washing about a million loads of bedding and towels, getting food ready for all of these guests, and becoming the queen of candles and decor. Both are also getting the front courtyard complete and ready to present.
Who would have thought there was so much to do with this house when the wedding isn’t even here?? It’s going to be the center point and main hub for everything before and after the big day – almost like an open house.
This week I need to find shoes to walk down the aisle with and get the perfect wedding present. I have some ideas, but it’s about time to make a decision. Plus I have a test and part of a paper due, and will be making the trip back up here on Thursday. Crazy week ahead!!
I am so happy for my sister. I love you Samantha Dianne Galloway and can’t wait to watch you become Samantha Dianne Wiatrek with two ‘bonus’ children and a loving husband for the rest of your life.
