I Have a Tendency to Make Myself Laugh

I guess it’s only right to start with the big wedding. From Thursday thru Saturday my days were consumed with nothing but Dave and Jessica’s wedding. Thursday was an all day bachelorette party. We started getting our nails done… well I started calling a locksmith… yes I did… and feel free to laugh. I locked my keys in my car… outside the Simmons… in the middle of the street… while it was still running. Smooth I know. After we got the door open Mel, Pastor LaTonya, Aysia and I went to the nail salon… well we tried to but our directions were faulty. By luck (or the Lord) we saw Dave (well Aysia did) driving down the street. He turned around and showed us the place. So after all that we got to the nail place at 11… 2 hours later then the itinerary instructed us to be there. Well then there was a lot of waiting to get our nails done. When everyone was finally done we went to the Reynolds’ to eat lunch and then went to the new outlet mall. In short that outlet mall was a real disappointment. It was hardly discounted. Anyway then we went out separate ways. Jess, Ashley and Amy went to the spray on tan place. Tara, Aysia and Pastor LaTonya went home. And Mel and I went back to my house to try on my dress (I had just got it back from being altered). Then we all met back at the Reynolds house and had dinner. Then we played the best game ever invented. I have yet to name it so for now we will call it “The Cube of Truth and Adventure” I like that title. Pretty much all you do is take this Styrofoam cube that we wrote things on and you tell a story based on what you role. Like favorite childhood story, most embarr***ing story, and favorite Jessica story. Needless to say we learned a whole lot we didn’t know about Jess from her sister Amy. It was a fun game… props to me for inventing it. The next day was the rehearsal… that was fun but not really much worth writing about. Then came Saturday… wedding day. Mel and I got up in time (that’s a large feat alone if you know me) then we went to the Women’s University Club where we were holding the reception to get ready. Again there are loads of stories but so little blog room. Long story short we got ready and we all looked hot. Then we got our pictures taken. I think it will be funny to look at the pictures because the fountain we took everything by was beautiful. But what you won’t see in the pictures is the fact that we are surrounded by bums… yes bums. Watching us and one of them even taking pictures with his disposable camera. It was just really funny to me; this beautiful scenery with Jess in her gown and all us bridesmaids with our dresses and… six bums… just chillin with a camera. It also smelt like urine… yeah that wasn’t as funny… well not at the time. Anyway after pictures we went to the church and waited. Then… it happened… Dave and Jess got married. I literally cried the entire ceremony. I even let out a whimper. I was mocked the entire time by the whole line of groomsmen; who would randomly come up behind me and let out a sob for the rest of the night. Then we had the reception… and tons more pictures. I sang for the reception… and guess what… I sang quietly… and pretty. For those of you who have heard me sing… I’m kinda a loud mouth. I was very proud of my controlled singing. And before we knew it the night was over. Dave and Jess went out to the truck and rode off into the sunset. I have to stop and say that Jess was absolutely beautiful. I mean breath taking. I’m so happy for them. Though to any average person I seemed devastated that they were getting married… I wasn’t it was just so surreal. I’m so excited for them. And I love them deeply. The wedding was a success and they rock. HEY DAVE AND JESS… HAVE KIDS SOON!

I expect that cookie on Sunday. But anyways, that's pretty much all I had to say. Oh, one question. Are we still going to sing Spanish songs now that minister Joanna is gone? I love those. Oh yeah, and Paul is a cool guy. He's got a really cool playing style. Last night, he was showing Ramon some new stuff, and they were playing together, and the beat was so cool. I was dancing...like always when I hear music. You missed out on the Rev's wedding on Saturday. It was cool. I got to see people that I haven't seen for a while. And the Schott's are all so big. Brooks is as tall as me. He looks like Pastor Landon with blond hair. Austin is nine and he's twice as tall as I remember him. And every single one of them is amazingly tan too. A whole lot of time in the sun. I got to see Seth and Joe and tons of other people, it was cool. Wow, I just realized how long of a comment this is. I'm gonna stop typing now. Peace out and God bless.
