weddings and such
what a weekend! this weekend proves that i am no longer able to do the things i did in college. i cannot function well with only a handful of hours of sleep each night. this weekend sara got married. i will not bore you with a play-by-play but i will point out a few of the more entertaining moments of the weekend.
first of all, my roommates and i road-tripped to murfreesboro thursday to start the decorating process. we left after work and got home around 3:30 a.m. the drive home was highlighted by the fact that whitney kayle ate a piece of pollen that she had mistaken for a crumb from her Twix. we spent the greater part of the ride home trying to convince her that she wasn't dying. it's funny to think of it now but it was even funnier at 2 a.m.
friday's entertaining event took place when my friend tommy decided to put out someone's cigarette with a fire extinguisher. what tommy did NOT know was that he was completely unaware of how to turn off the fire extinguisher. after many unsuccessful attempts, tommy ran down the stairs of the lodge towards the lake, did a couple of 360 degree turns shot-put style, and threw the fire extinguisher in the lake. it then occurred to all of us that the people who owned the lodge might be upset at the absence of their fire extinguisher. so, rather than force ryan to pay for the fire extinguisher, tommy retrieved it from the lake. again, much funnier at 1 a.m. the rest of that evening was spent making fun of cheesy, 70's christian network, tribulation/rapture films, seeing way too much of the boys hairy legs, and trying to keep the thermostat above 62. oh and the boys did have a dance party at the church while we were finishing up decorations. but don't worry, it was a methodist church so lightning didn't strike. methodists are cool like that.
the wedding was beautiful. it was short which made it even more beautiful. it was fun to spend time with people i haven't seen in a while, and to get to know people that i didn't know very well. the fun continued into saturday night when kaylan and krista came to visit from dallas. by this time i was highly frustrated with myself for not being able to fully function due to my lack of sleep. however, i was not too tired to enjoy a little more junk food, dance presentations by whitney & kaylan, and to join in singing on 'mississippi squirrel revival' for old time's sake.
so the weekend is over and i'm back at work. i feel as if i have still had no sleep. yet i feel so amazingly blessed to have been surrounded by so many friends in such a short period of time. i have the most amazing friends. i have had the most amazing weekend.
and to top it all off, Madea's Family Reunion is at the dollar theater.
