seems like everything i think about and focus on, and get distracted by pertains to the wedding. whew....i admire those who have long engagements, there is no way i could be this distracted for that long. 180 days more. that still feels like a long time, however we have a couple events coming up that will provide a little break from the wedding planning.
Saturday and Sunday coming up Dave and I are going to go to Oklahoma City and meet my parents there for a mini weekend getaway. we are planning on watching a USA Women's Softball Tourney and doing some sightseeing, possibly having dinner with some of Dave's college buddies and swimming. it's Monday and I'm already looking forward to the weekend. (story of my life).
this past weekend was very productive and exhausting as always. early Saturday morning Dave i loaded up Thor and headed to San Antonio. we had an appointment with our possible photographer at our wedding ceremony location and then we had an appointment at our reception site venue to show my mom and grandmother (and aunt and uncle and 4 cousins, and sister).
the thing about my family, which i would never trade for the world, is we have a habit of making most events a "Mexican field trip". my grandmothers house is usually bursting at the seams on the weekends and when going places almost always everyone tags along. it is so much fun! one of the great things about this weekend was we were able to show one of our ring bearers, Adan, and flower girl, Kelsi, where they would be walking in the church. i think it helped to easy a little of their anxiety about my wedding. that and i have had to bribe both Adan and Kelsi with 5 bucks :o). later after we dropped off the guys we went and did a little shopping for the flower girls dresses...and found them! perfect. check.
Saturday evening about 16 of us went for dinner at little red barn in San Antonio. we took both sets of grandparents and it was good to see everyone. Dave and i didn't plan to stay the night in San Antonio, but it got late after we got back from dinner. it was a better idea to get some sleep rather than face driving through Austin on a Saturday night.
Sunday once we got back to the apartment we were beat so we did some of our obligatory running around. dog food, groceries, best buy. and then went home to get some down time in before the week start. laundry, dishes and tidying up got done and then we were able to watch the 2ND disc of True Blood.
once Dave and I get back from Oklahoma city we must start packing and getting ready for the move into our new house. new to us, and not quite ours, but nonetheless exciting. the thing about the house that many people may not understand is the relief it will be for us as owners of a huge puppy dog. Thor requires a lot of work, a lot more work than i have ever had to do for the poodles that i have owned. i also think that i am very determined on raising him to the best of my ability because of his breed and for the reason that eventually Dave and i would like to introduce babies to our household. a rottweiler is such a wonderful animal, if raised responsibly. i am very lucky that Dave knows how to discipline him and train him, however, i am the one who tends to his exercising needs. once we have that fenced in yard in a couple of weeks my life will become 20times easier. i won't have to wake up at 5:30 am any more to take him for walks and runs. i can just throw him in the backyard! we also won't have to go to the dog park nearly as much because of the yard. i still would like to go to the dog park at least once a week to continue to socialize him.
Dave and i recently joined a recreational softball league and tonight is our first game! I'm beyond excited! i played rec league for 3 seasons while in college, but i did not play my senior year and did not play while i was in grad school. i looked around for leagues, but nothing would ever work with my schedule. we have just fallen into a routine because we are both done with school, and with our jobs and a friend asked us to join. it seemed perfect and tonight is the first game. our season is 10 weeks long and we play 8 games during this time, every Monday. i think i may be playing second base which should be fun! i am usually on the left side of the field somewhere, however i get hesitant to play there when playing coed. (this fear originates from getting popped in the collarbone by Ryan when i was pitching to him in high school). i think our team's name is Austin Heat....wish us luck!
