The day she has waited for will finally be here tomorrow. My good friend from highschool Katie is getting married!!!! i couldn't be more happy for her and couldn't be more honored to be in her wedding. Tomorrow, I will put on my spanx (which iin a few months I won't need yay) , put on the green dress and be a part of HER special day!! She def. deserves this and I can't imagine a better guy for her than her fiancee Timothy!
Today we had our bridesmaid luncheon at Chili's...I have to rave about their lunch combo menu real quick. I had half of a turkey sandwich which came with a bowl of soup (or salad) I opted for soup and a few french fries (literally like 8, just enough to curb a craving but not enough to any damage) That half sandwich was so filling, I couldn't even finish my soup...and all for 6 bucks plus tax!!! Although, I def. did miss my run today with all the carbs!!! Yikes!!!!
Next we went to get our mani/pedi!!! Since I have been in the healthcare field manicures haven't been an option for about a year now so I was excited!! The pedicure was AMAZING!!! Made even better by the fact that five of us went and I was the last one so my feet got to soak in that glorious water and I got to get my neck and shoulders massaged by that wonderful chair for a glorious 30 minutes before they got to me....the downside...pruny feet..yuck. The fun part came for the manicure....for those of yall who know me I am a subconscious nail biter......yes my name is Allyson Moore and I am a ...nailbiter....phew now that that is off of my chest back to the blog. Well nail biting means in order to have a french manicure you have to have tips put on. NO PROBLEM!! The guy who did my nails had fun giving me a hard time.
One thing i realized while sitting in that chair is that iit is fun to have time wiht just the girls, and I don't have to feel bad about not being with Eric.
After pampering time, I came back to the house I am staying at and played wiht the puppies and relaxed for a few hours and then it was time to head to the rehearsal.
I got to the church to meet everyone and my escort for the wedding. Quite the gentlemen in wasting no time in informing me he was engaged (in a polite joking way).....apparently within the first minute of meeting boys I give off an "i'm interested" vibe. Haha just kidding. He meant it in the sweetest way. The rehearsal was fun. The two flower girls are Katie's niece K and L. K is one year older ...well everytime K would drop a petal L would promptly pick it up behind her and tuck it into her basket....PRICELESS! After a few run throughs (and me realizing I have fallen in love with a certain song for my own wedding down the road) it was time for dinner. We were paired with our escorts for dinner so we could get to know each other (Timothy went to school in Pensacola, Florida so this was the first time we were meeting the groomsmen. So my friend Connie and I sat at a table with our "guys" and Connie's boyfriend David. We had a blast. My "guy" is finishing up premed to go to med school so he, Connie, and I had plenty to talk about.
I had forgotten how much fun it was to meet new people. Normally in a situation like this I would have just sat there and been quiet but I am so glad I faced a fear (my fear faced for this week) and opened up and talked to and met new people. It was a releasing feeling in a way and I am glad I did it.
Well, there is much to do tonight and an early morning so goodnight all!!!
