Katie's wedding!

This past weekend I attended my cousin Katie's wedding in Mobile, Alabama. I rode over there with my parents (and have sworn that it was the last time I ride somewhere with them) on Friday. The rehearsal was Friday night and I took pictures of it. The rehearsal dinner was at Olive Garden and then we went on back to the bed&breakfast place we were staying at. It was a beautiful place, like a whole little village. Several old houses and buildings that had and were still being renovated into bed & breakfast all owned and run by the same man. It was really cool. I'll be posting plenty of pictures of the place later.

Saturday everyone from our side of the family had breakfast together there at the inn. It was sooo good. Then I went and took pictures of Katie and the bridesmaids as they got ready. It was really nice and relaxing. They got ready there at one of the villas in the inn. We had a lot of fun. Pictures of that will be posted soon too.






Then when they left for the church to have their pictures taken I went back to my room and took a nap! I was so freaking tired, because I had stayed up late chatting with family and friends catching up. I got ready for the wedding and then me and my mom headed over to the church. It was a night wedding at the huge Cathedral church downtown Mobile. If you've ever been to Mobile you know the one I'm talking about, cause it's the one all the tourist check out. It was a beautiful wedding and she looked GORGEOUS!!!! Then the reception was at the art museum which was lovely. Everyone had a great time. It felt so great to not actually be taking pictures of the wedding and reception and important things. I just to just relax and enjoy everything. I took some funny pictures of my cousins doing silly things. It was just a good time.

Sunday we all had breakfast together again at the inn and then everyone started to leave. We were the last because I took pictures of my dads 1930 Model A (which my dad drove my cousin and her husband from the church to the reception and from the reception to their villa afterwards) in front of the old houses, which look really good. Then we had to load the car on the trailer, which takes a little while. It was a nice weekend and I enjoyed getting to spend time with my family and I got some cool pictures. However I'm still trying to catch up on my sleep lol.

On the road

Well the weekend was pretty boring, however I did take some senior pictures which was a lot of fun. I took Ben Adams pictures, he's my friend Sarahs little brother. I can't believe he's that old! lol I've known him since he was born! Anyways we had a good time doing that on Saturday.

Sunday after my parents finished at church mom and I headed up to Gmommys. Monday morning I had a doctors apt. with my dermatologist. My psoriasis looks just fine no new news on that, however I do have rosacea now also. Woo Hoo! It started almost two years ago. I thought I was just breaking out from stress because it started about two weeks after I had broken up with my boyfriend. Then all the mess with Gmommy happened and I was wondering what am I gonna do about finding a new job, am I going to go back to school, etc. And of course there is always the little things in life that give you stress. As things started to settle down it got better so I thought that was it. This year however my face turned red in February/March and I couldn't figure out why. I tried a few new face washes, I drink tons of water, I try not to touch my face, anything I can think of and nothing really mad a difference. I began to think it was my birth control because I had switched that about two months before all of this started happening. (I'm really glad it wasn't that though because I don't want to switch to something new) Well I told the doctor what was going on and he knew right away what it was. He is so awesome! He really is the best doctor that I have. So yea now I've got medicine that will stop the breakouts so my face will be back to normal YAY and it should stop the redness from getting any worse.

So yes it sucks that I once again have something that I have to deal with for the rest of my life but at least I can treat it and control it. I try to be positive about things.

Anyways. . . after the doctors apt. mom and I went to go visit my sister for a while and take her some stuff that my parents had gotten them while they were on vacation and I had made the boys a camouflage lamp for their room and was giving my sister my hunting clothes since I never use them anymore and that way they don't have to buy Gabie new stuff. So we spent time with Erin and Ansley until she had to go pick up the boys from school. We saw the boys for a few minutes then we had to go and they had to get ready for some baseball games. I spent probably over an hour on the floor with Ansley playing catch. It's pretty rough on your knees when you're wearing shorts. lol.

We had a good time though. Then we headed back to Gmommys to pick her up. We were taking her to the lake house and my Uncle Randy was going to come meet us there and pick her up from there to take home with him. (my cousin katie is getting married this weekend in mobile, al. and uncle randy and aunt darlene are going to take gmommy with them) Well we stopped in Columbus to eat at yummy PanaraBread. Uncle Randys truck died halfway to the lake so Aunt Darlene had to go pick him up and they had to sit there waiting for the tow-truck. We got to the lake house and chilled out for a while waiting to hear from them about what to do. They finally called and it was decided that we would meet halfway between were they are and were we were at the lake house. We finally get there and they take Gmommy with them and mom and I went on home. We got home around 11:30 last night.

update

Update on some things since I haven't posted anything in a while.

The weekend of the 24th of August I went to spend the weekend with my friend Stephanie and her husband Randy. It was a nice relaxing weekend. Good food, good shopping, good company.


Last week was a very aggravating week at work but I did get a lot done. Took my dress to the dry cleaners, picked up my transcript from Darton and turned in my Graduation form AGAIN (I won't even start on that subject stupid morons at the registrars office).

This past weekend I spent Friday and Saturday night hanging out with my friend Brad. We sit around and watch movies and tv, such a thrilling life we live. lol. Sunday and Monday didn't do much of anything.

My parents left Friday and are gone until next Sunday. They've gone to tour some of the New England states. They may even go over into Canada for a day. Anyways on Saturday it rained a little at the house and when I looked outside I noticed a puddle under the covered part of the deck near the door which the rain shouldn't have reached. I went outside and sure enough there was a leak. It was right at a seam of sheet-rock on the ceiling. So then I went in the attic to see if it was the roof. Luckily it wasn't. It was the air-conditioner. The drain to the trap that holds the condensation was clogged. So the trap was full and dripping over onto the ceiling of the deck. Luckily there was nothing actually wrong with the air-conditioner and that it was over the deck and not the house. I stuck a towel under there to help catch some of water and keep it from leaking through. I called my dad, which I hated to do cause their on vacation but I had to. He said it was no big deal he would call his friend, who does our air-conditioners, in a few days to go fix it. It's an easy fix, just have to blow out the clog in this 1inch PVC pipe. However the lid on the pipe has been on there for who knows how long and I do not poses the strength to pull it off. Also it makes me nervous trying because it's PVC it moves around a lot and I'm worried that in my attempt to pull the lid off something else might come apart. So I'm just leaving it alone and this man can come do it. lol.

So onto today. Tuesday Sept. 4th. The office was closed yesterday because it was Labor day. Well I woke up this morning feeling and looking like crap. I don't know why maybe this nasty weather just doesn't agree with me. Anyways I get to work and the air-conditioning doesn't work! AWESOME. So yea that's just great. One of the other secretary's called my dad and told him. He called back later and said that the air-conditioning guy would come by sometime today. SOMETIME doesn't that sound great. So yea that's my day and it isn't even lunch yet. woo hoo.
