    Re: One Step at a Time - September 2017

    Nora - No, I'm not sorry I asked. This is your safe place to talk - no matter what or how much you have going on. I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. That must be very sad for you.

    Liz - looking forward to hearing more about the lovely wedding.

          Well, I did post a few pictures of the wedding. CJ was absolutely stunning! I sure do make pretty babies! We had a very tight timeline for the day and did just fine until the limo was 50 minutes late! Apparently he went to the wrong address initially. Joe didn't tell him they were at his dad's house and not his brother�� His family is always late for everything so this isn't unusual. The German in me makes me soo punctual and this was way out of my comfort zone! Whatever, that was definitely going to cut into our tight schedule! We got to the church finally and guess what? Joe forgot the ring!!!!!! Seriously, you had ONE job. Joe had given CJ a friendship ring early on and she was wearing that, so that's what they used. Ceremony was lovely. I had bought sandwiches and snacks because there were two ceremonies. Brilliant on my part! We gulped them down quickly and headed over to the Coptic Church for ceremony 2. That started just a few minutes late so we were back on scendule

            image.jpgOops. That ceremony lasted an hour and twenty minutes, whew. At the reception venue by five, Yay we did it! Reception was a lot of fun. It was so nice to see family and friends all together. We danced and mingled. There was a photo booth which was a lot of fun. We took one picture with all our neighbors together with props. Memories were made. My older sister saw my childhood friends, they hadn't seen each other in probably 30 years. Let's see, what else can I tell you? If you have any questions ask away. The kids are in South Carolina last they checked in. They were hoping to get to Jacksonville Florida tonight. On to Miami tomorrow where they will get a container to pack with all their belongings and ship to st.croix next week.
            Well I guess that's enough for tonight. I love you all, thank you for asking!!

              [MENTION=19302]Lizann[/MENTION], a wedding wouldn't be a wedding if there was not a story be told the great thing is in years to come they can look back and laugh about the ring being forgotten. It nice when you meet up with old childhood friends. Sound like you had a great time, did you had to hold back any tears seeing your daughter looking so bearing her wedding dress? Thank you for sharing it was lovely to read. X beautiful photo !

                Catch, I did not shed a tear the day of the wedding, but have been crying since they left.

                  Thanks all. Off to bed - I just type a 4 page word document of care instructions for Mom. LOL More instructions than when I had a baby.

                  Liz - I seriously can't believe he forgot the ring. He must have been nervous! Beautiful pics.

                  I will talk to you all tomorrow from Seal Beach.

                    Wow Liz - you must have been exhausted by the end of the night. That sounds very stressful, but I'm so glad it all worked out OK in the end. BTW - Is your son married yet or do you have another one of these to go?

                    Techie - It's lovely to see you. Are you OK?

                    Nora - have a lovely weekend away!

                      Re: One Step at a Time - September 2017

                      Good Morning, Friends!

                      I am leaving in a bit for Portland, OR, as my nephew is getting married. Very excited as I will be with ALL my siblings and most of their children. I am grateful for my family, grateful for 2nd chances, and grateful to be heading to the airport and not under the influence of AL.

                      Liz-wow, you survived quite an ordeal. I, too, am extremely punctual, and I would have imploded if my limo were 50 minutes late. Joe forgot the ring??? YIKES! He would have become my EX-son-in-law at that moment. LOL. Just kidding. CJ was absolutely stunning...yes, she got your and hubs' good genes. Loved her dress...she looked like a model...loved her hair. YOU looked fantastic and that is by far the most beautiful MOB dress I have ever seen because it was so elegant and youthful and you didn't end up looking like a hausfrau. Your hair looked beautiful as well and you and hubs make a very handsome couple.

                      Nora-enjoy your weekend away, honey.

                      Big hugs to Glassie, catch, TMH, and anyone I missed...have a great weekend!

                        Good morning all! I just want to thank you all so much for your support during these last few weeks. It meant the world to me! I can't even express how important you all are to me and how your support has helped me stay sober during a very tumultuous time. I am not good expressing my feelings, but I thank God for the support I have found here! Sounds like everyone is going to have a good weekend and I do hope you enjoy. We are supposed to go apple picking but I don't think the weather will cooperate. We shall see. Happy Friday !

                            Hello, hello. We are here at the hotel just laying here on the bed in absolute quite playing with our electronics. :rotlf: What a romantic getaway. I think we both needed to just chill out tonight.

                            Hubby has been sick with a sinus infection. Also, he has chronic pain and I think he overdid it a week ago and he is still suffering. I had a horrible day at work. Still fighting the network virus. Long story that I will bore you with later. My pain has flared up so bad in the past week that I am hobbling from hurting so much. Rushed home and threw some stuff in a suitcase and we headed out. I was about in tears when I left work because of my boss again. As we were driving, I get a call from her. Wanted to give me an update on where we were with the computers. And explain what she was in the middle of when she came into the office and snapped at me. Didn't come out and say I'm sorry. But, this was an apology.

                            And - I have to admit that I engaged in road rage this evening. I really, really did. I'm ashamed of myself. I just got my official Free Hugs shirt last week and I'm sure not spreading the peace & love. osteroops: Hubby & I had just pulled into the left turn lane to get onto the freeway. This is during heavy traffic. A man in the lane next to me, pulls up towards the signal and must have realized that he needed to get on the freeway. So, he reversed a few feet and then stops & puts on his turn indicator thus blocking the cars that needed to move forward. It ticked me off because I have driven so far out of my way to get to a place to turn around and people just make up their own rules. Well, the signal turned green and the car in front of me started to go forward and so I started forward instead of patiently waiting for the man in the other lane to shove his way in. Well, I pounded on my horn (which is this little tiny embarrassing beep ) and wouldn't let him go in front of me. And then he tried to race in front of me on the on-ramp.
                            So, that is something that I am going to have to work on. Just because other drivers are being incredibly rude doesn't mean that I have to behave badly. :smileyb:

                            But, we made it here and are having a wonderful time. We are planning on going to the beach tomorrow morning. The probably go out for lunch. Walking down main street by the beach is always fun. I am going to have to get a hat tomorrow though to keep the sun off my nose. We are just having a great time doing absolutely nothing for the evening though.

                            Well - guess this is all about me again.

                              PS - On the way to the hotel, I had to drive several miles out of my way because of not being in the correct lane. I mean seriously - how much trouble is that?:victorious:

                                Oh Nora - If a little road rage is the worst of your crimes you're not doing too bad!

                                Enjoy your mini break - it sounds like you need it. I hope there will be some ice cream involved!
