Today was essentially my idea of the perfect day, or at least pretty close to it. This morning I watched my girly shows while Zach slept in, and then we went for a walk at Difficult Run with Joey, Sam and Kinas. I haven't seen Joey since before I moved, even though I consider him to be one of my best friends. There aren't many guys out there, besides Zach and the two Thomas's lol, that I can talk to on the phone for very long, but I distinctly remember a long conversation I had with Joey while I was in California, primarily because it happened right when we were deciding if we wanted to come and it reminded me what it was like to have such a great core group of friends around. Its something we were lacking in California, even though we really loved Mitch and Donna's friends. Anyways, we had a great time on the walk.. Sam almost swam across the river to do the cliff jump, but I'm really glad he didn't because with all of this rain lately I'm fairly sure he would have drowned because the water is still SO high and fast (the restaurant Cameron works at has been closed all week because of the flooding in Georgetown). The dog ran away for a while, but came right back once he exhausted himself. The heat worked in our favor (it was 90 degrees..) so he couldn't keep going for too long. I seriously love, love, love going on walks with these guys. It was nice hanging out with them again.
This past weekend was Easter, which for me just means working a banquet. I hate working banquets because it almost always means I'm working on a holiday only to make less money because we don't give out checks at the end of the meal, so we only get money when people hand us cash. Its rare. Easter was exhausting, but it was okay because Friday and Saturday were really great. They were actually really busy and exhausting too, but it makes it that much better in my opinion.
Another perk from this weekend was having Mark, Maddy and Jon visiting. Friday night we spent at Jon's house just talking and watching TV and it was so nice just being lazy together. Saturday we went to Starbucks and hung out for a couple hours just telling stories. It was so interesting hearing Jon's story, for example, because it reminded me how much I don't know about a lot of people in my life. Some of the events in his life that he talked about both Zach and I didn't know about, or didn't know the exact details. This had occurred to me before, but mostly with the guys in mind. There are so many things about them that I am aware of, but don't know the details. Its strange. But yea, Starbucks was great. My other major thought leaving that was how fun it would be if Mark and Maddy and Zach and I had children around the same time and were living in the same area. They are so fun.
This week I am preparing to go buy my wedding dress on Friday. I am very hopeful that I will find it then, and will be pretty disappointed if I walk away empty handed. I can't believe this step of the process is about to happen, so it has spurred me to start looking into wedding venues more than I had before and go visit the ones I have already contacted. I am the kind of person that doesn't just see one place and go with it... I have to see every option out there before I can feel comfortable with any decision. Its going to make this whole thing take that much longer.
Besides that, Krista is home so we are going to lunch with her and Kevin on Thursday, and on Wednesday I am making shirts with the girls for our wedding shopping extravaganza. Friday is the big day and tomorrow we have our helper guy, Tony, coming over to paint and stuff, so I have to be here for that. Between all of that and work, I have a full week. But an exciting week!
