Day 238 - Day 243
April 28 - May 3, 2010
So, the last week was all about Iowa and a wedding! My best friend got married on Saturday and I left for Iowa on Wednesday. This was such a great trip and I had such a great time! I get home Wednesday night and just kind of relax. I had taco pizza from Casey's awaiting my arrival! It's so good! My favorite is still Happy Joe's, but Casey's is still top notch!
Thursday morning, I wake up and decide that my at-home tanning spray is going to be put to good use. So, I have my mom be my personal beauty tanning woman! I'm standing in my garage, doors wide open, and boobies exposed to all, while she's make me beautifully bronzed! It's boobs. Everyone has seen them! And mine are so small, you can barely tell they're there! Hehe! Hence, why I an enhancement isn't all that bad of an idea! ;)
Thursday night was about primping for the wedding. Some of the wedding party got together and did wine, cupcakes, and mani/pedis! It was so nice and relaxing! A perfect beginning to a great weekend! I love getting pedicures! Those Asian people really know how to take care of feet! We went to Truly Nails in Johnston and they did a fantastic job! You can bring in your own beverages, so Christin brought in wine and we had cupcakes! So much fun! Then, we went to Legend's for appetizers. It was a good girl's night out!
Friday morning, Maddie picked me up and we headed for Coon Rapids, Iowa--the wedding site! We had to stop in Perry, which I loved! I love small towns and Perry is a fun one! It's the first place I ever saw a mexican People Magazine! Ha! Fantastic!
Coon Rapids, Iowa you ask? Yes, it's in the middle of nowhere! But it's so beautiful and picturesque! A perfect place for an outdoor wedding! It's really cool out there! They have a barn, houses, hayrack rides, canoeing, etc.! However, our hayrack ride and the boys' canoe trip got cancelled due to weather and technical difficulties with the van. But it's there if you want it! The cabins are so cute!
Friday was the rehearsal dinner, where Litterdale's was the catering company. Can I tell you, if you ever need a catering service, this is the company! Their food is delicious and the people are really friendly! The rehearsal dinner was so much fun! And afterwards, the bridal party got together and partied in the boys' house. Yes, we partied before the wedding. A 12:30 game of flip cup may or may not have been my idea! But it was a good one! We had so much fun! Everyone woke up in great shape, so all is good!
The day of the wedding was really calm! Maddie never once freaked out, or panicked! She did great! And she looked absolutely beautiful! Her and Brent really had a great looking bridal party! ;) The weather was perfect--sunshine, warm weather, great family and friends around them! She couldn't have asked for a more picture perfect day! It got chilly at night, but it didn't stop us from having a good time! The party continued back at the house. I took a bit of a catnap, but woke up, and joined the party! I don't know how I do it, but I got hurt again! This time, I have a scrape on my wrist. The skin is gone. How I always manage to hurt myself, I will never know!
Sunday was nice and relaxing. They opened gifts, we cleaned up the party area, and then I realized my bag was missing. The bag with my identification, phone, and credit cards. I swore that I had it with me, but when we called the people whose truck we rode in, they swear it wasn't in there. We looked for that bag for a couple of hours and could not find it. All I kept thinking was, I'm never getting back to Florida. My parents are going to kill me. I'm going to miss a rather important day in my life. And this is going to cost me a fortune! On the outside, I remained calm. On the inside, I was freaking out! After a couple hours of calling, searching and searching, those stupid people who we called earlier had it. A couple from the wedding party went to their house and opened the truck--guess what? There it was! Idiots! Thank God they found it!
We celebrated Mother's Day since I won't be there this Sunday. Mom made her fried chicken. It hit the spot! Perfect end to a perfect trip home! I miss Iowa people. They're so nice! It's refreshing to be around people who are genuine and down-to-earth. You know what, though? I didn't cry this time when I left. Weird huh? Not one tear. I'm really proud of myself!
After not a lot of sleep this weekend and a long day of traveling, I'm calling it an early night! Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Note to self: Count your blessings. Not a lot of people are as lucky or fortunate as you. When you keep getting opportunity after opportunity, compliments, and praise for your work ethic and talent, you have to be appreciative and recognize that in this economy, it's really prideful to know that your work is being recognized! Be proud of yourself and don't take anything for granted. It's such a rough and competitive industry out there, and to know that people believe in you and your talents, it's really rewarding and a big boost to your self-esteem. Just be lucky and remember to take these opportunities and run with them. When they say, it's not personal, it's business, it's so true. You have to think of what's going to benefit you--every thing else will fall into place!
Side note: I just heard the new neighbor below me. It was my understanding that I was going to be getting an attractive male living below me. Nope. Go figure. It was definitely a woman's voice. I swear to God, if I was as lucky at love, as I am with my career path, I would be married to Prince William by now!
